I got that boring before I got shacked up with someone. I think it's called getting old.
As I recall you're younger than me, so I predict you have about 3 months left before you start getting wet about gingham in fabric shops and staying in on a Friday.

SHACKED UP? I HOPE YOU'RE ENGAGED
NO SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE

I don't know anybody who's had a recent engagement TGB. Do you?

I'm not sure if it was recent
It feels like they have been talking about it forever

Anyone would think it was 3 months and 11 days ago.

it's the breadmaker that denotes grown upness
I had one when I was married, but when I left, I very deliberately left it behind. In a way it's a shame, I like fresh bread

I got a Kenwood AND a sewing machine for my 30th.

I had a sewing machine when I was in my 20s
but I think I'm a special case. Oh and I had a toy one when I was a kid (it actually was what I asked for)

No one would ever make the mistake of buying me kitchen things, though

I love kitchen stuff
My nephew takes the piss because someone bought me Nigella measuring spoons.

Kenwoods rock, I got given a 1970s one that my mate was going to eBay.
Swiped my mum's sewing machine years ago cos she doesn't know how to use it.

We should start a bread machine subthread next and get al involved.

I need a sewing machine but considering all the other stuff I should be doing and aren't then it would just be another to add to the list.

I don't know how you live without one
get one that does embroidery then you can do all sorts of fun things with them

I can live without a lot of things.
Apparantly.

I'm out
I do own 15 crochet hooks, though
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Wed 23 Feb 2011, 14:59, Reply)

My sewing machine needs looking at, but I've no idea where to start
so I'll keep on using it until it dies.
