and it never wobbled before that!

No, she commented that it was very stiff and firm

.... maybe have a chat with your missus, I believe she now has a few more ideas of what the table can be used for

Is that all you do on your kitchen table, stand on it and presumably eat off it ..... maybe have a chat with your missus, I believe she now has a few more ideas of what the table can be used for

No not on the kitchen table its too small for that sort of shenanigans its also got sharp edges. We use the big hallway table for getting jiggy, much less cramped than the back of the Jag or Bentley. Or the desk in my home office but that makes me late back for lunch.

well if you stopped standing on it the wobble wouldn't exist!

Ah yes, the "trudging to the loo in the dark" slippers. One can also buy phosphorescent loo covers, to help one's aim in the dark!

(The obvious solution of turning on lights may not be acceptable if you share a bedroom or don't want to be fully woken by a bright light)

or just have red led lights as an option.

Finding the remote is easy I fitted it to the wall. Or use Alexa.

Our American friends just buy night-vision. Well they buy it for "home protection" but if you had it you might as well use it for toilet trips!

Costs a fortune though.

I once saw a pair of slippers with headlights on them in an innovations catalogue and have regretted not buying them ever since

Is this an evolution of shoes with mirrored toes?

Talking of secret Santa, and taking this thread even further off topic, a very good friend of mine does a different spin on SS by getting people to spend £30 on a gift for a child in a children's home. It started out with a couple of orphanages in Lithuania and has grown to include a couple in the UK too.

Last I knew she was still looking for Santas to pick up the last few kiddies

That's cool. Our church has been a local hub for one of the shoebox appeals (ours run through https://shoeboxonline.samaritans-purse.org.uk/) slightly different take on a similar idea.

Imagine if we set up CUK secret Santa?!

You could tear a few pages out and fix the wobble on your kitchen table. It's really annoying and makes a lot of noise at night.

I have a spare copy of the 15th Edition of the Diffords Guide if anyone wants it? I bought two, received three, the site owner said to keep it!

It's still all sealed up and brand new.

I know that's not the purpose of this thread but it made me think I ought to do something with it.
