Has anyone bought one of these ?
Could you please tell me the size of it? I don't know why they don't state it! I have mailed M&S but they haven't replied yet.
Or has anyone seen the same thing elsewhere? Thanks!

God kv�ll i stugan, biddies!
Correction, Vinny: I may have, 32 years ago, looked like your cousin, but these days there isn't any resemblance between me and myself, even. You, on the other hand, look if I may say so like Jesus hitching a ride to Woodstock. I love my Warhol poster, it's beautiful, thank you so much, those are nice colour combinations that you chose.
Robinia, you do do a good job disciplining that Spanish woman, but will it suffice I wonder. I swear, Neti, if I hear you complain about the Ibiza climate once more you are so gonna get it. (But we should probably stick together in the stoopid corner you and me, 'cause I didn't understand Vinny's job description either.)
Vinny, Shaney, Robinia: I read your respective stories of loss, and I'd just like to say I think it's a good thing that we don't always have to keep up appearances on here (and so no need to say sorry, Vinny.)
Thanks for helping out with uploading-info, jno.
Loved your storm photo. Have a lovely time in Paris! Haven't been there since I was fifteen, are they still very upset with you if you don't speak their lingo fluently?
Yes Jude I do suppose that my alias is kinda unwieldy. So you might (all) call me... say... Kit? Or just Swede. Whichever. (Dear QM calls me Da - there's short for you!) Hope Wednesday will be good news day for you, Jude.
I haven't forgotten your request for an essay on Christmas traditions in Sweden, Vinny...

Hi Kit - that's a very good name & nice & short....when this lot have had a few egg-nogs come the festive season you could have become anything from Suede to Weeds so hopefully they'll cope with Kit. Please feel free to shorten my name if you want to....(the rest of you can call me madam)...I'm amazed that everyone still types it out in full.
Discipline neti? ....I've been trying for over 12 months to thwack some sense into her so I'm used to it....
Well done neti by the way....now, where's my Woman's Weekly....?

CHRISTMAS IN SWEDEN, as per request
Ahem! Well... basically we just stuff ourselves and give each other too many and too expensive presents on December 24, Christmas Eve. The Christmas tree is a big deal, but stockings and crackers are optional. For grown-ups it's 'mandatory' to keep at least one Advent candlestick at home. A new candle is lit for every Sunday leading up to Christmas Eve, until finally all four are burning. For children it is the Advent calendar that serves as a countdown. There are 24 pictures hidden under 24 flaps; the final picture is of course the baby Jesus in the manger, or some such scene.
If you want to get drunk, stay close by the gl�ggserved hot with raisins and blanched almonds. (It's rather like gl�hwein, I believe.) If that doesn't do it, have some snaps at dinner, it's good for digesting all the fatty foods. My personal choice is Gammeldansk (Old Danish). It's very bitter (wormwood) and you'll either hate it or love it. No mortal man or woman has managed to swallow it down without first having eaten an entire pig (or having eaten like one) so it's not the kind of stuff you're likely to have too much of.
There's another important and 'exotic' event in December that I haven't mentioned here, I'll tell you about it when it rolls around.
There's much more to tell of course, but hey, give a biddy a break...
Signing off now, but looking forward to learn if any of the above was completely new to any of you...?

Hope this Advent candlestick link works better than the other one:
