I learned about a cleaning product that kills 99% of germs and all viruses ... it was an accidental find but Mobietta wants a bottle of it

The opposite of "deja vu" is "jamais vu".
As I grow older I seem to be having more and more jamais vu moments

Been there done that - and then she found out that she could have quartz upstands all the way around, and a quartz panel behind the cooker, and the draining area could be recessed (a must have) and she could have 5 drainage flutes and finally that the company could make a matching window sill which meant the upstands were no longer 100mm but would have to be made 125mm. Take my advice, don't ask for individual prices, just try to hold the tears back when you hear the full price.
On the plus side it looks fantastic

Oh yeah, upstands all round and splash back, I’m crying now just thinking about it, it’s going to be a long decision regarding colour, no jumping in.! I’m glad it’s only a smallish galley kitchen.

The name PEZ (as in PEZ candy) comes from the german word PfeffErminZ (which apparently means peppermint).
PEZ was actually invented as an alternative for smoking.
