An old English word brought back to life by a comedian called Frankie Howard because of the 'titi' part.<BR/><BR/>Daily usage in the UK by weird and wacky people like myself - all the lovely bitty bits of arranging and re-arranging of knicks knacks and pretties until they are just so, just placed where you want them and pleasing to the eye.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for you lovely comments.<BR/><BR/>Sue xxSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-84615819134934853322009-02-20T01:27:00.000+00:002009-02-20T01:27:00.000+00:00OK, I give ... what's titivating?

I find its much nicer to use, especially the water based ones, better finish with the oil based tho on furniture. Not probably telling you anything you dont already know so I'll shush now!<BR/>Hopefully by the time you are reading this you will have had a chance to do the nice stuff and finish off the room, get titivating!<BR/>Take care, you're nearly there!<BR/>Sarah xlandcuckoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02539783011453017316noreply@blogger.com
