Apart from your:j :j :j , what little ms/ns treatie praise thingie are you going to do for yourself?

'Cos you must - and that's an order.

if it's an order it's an order... I shall buy myself some fig rolls in Tesco's later - not the most exciting thing I guess but DS has discovered he likes them so my little stash has been depleted.:mad: Have to do the mum's taxi thing later so might as well go then as there's not enough time to drop him off and come home again and I really don't want to stand in the rain any longer than strictly necessary.

Yeay, I'm in the 4Ks!!!! and got some news today that makes it look likely that I will be DF for end of June - fingers crossed as not definite yet.

Thank you all for the celebrations!!! much appreciated!:A

Now there's another vicarious Memory Bank moment.
(Listen up time, bob)
My friend of 35 years, living in France these 40 years(and taught Mick J how to make sauce for spag bol)is a Suffolk gel by birth and gentry and I take/send her fig rolls, apparently The Treat of her meanly furnished, horribly expensive, Spartan Boarding School upbringing.

Cut down on the carrots, bl

We'll manage soon, before I come up to Glasgae with wee bus pass, tight grey currrls perm, wee shopping trolley etc.etc.
(Not so, promise)
Shall I bring some cheapo fig rolls? - they're the ones M loves best.
Or are we all regular chaps?
Shouldn't be writing like that, should I? - trembling SS's delicate Thread

oh dear - in addition to the fig rolls which were all of 38p I seem to have bought two books for £7! this is why I never browse, I have no willpower. still it's only £7 not £70 and it's coming off my cash budget not going onto a CC.

beanielou

What books did you get then?

Hi Beanie,

Nothing very high brow! I got new Jodie Picoult book - Change of Heart and new Celia Aherne one but I can't remember it's name. Yes, I could have waited and gone to the library but it's still cheaper than new shoes and after a particularly awful day at work I need to escape! but I'm home now so I really need to stop thinking about it all. Just popping on while cooking and I'm STARVING!!!!
Did parents night go well?

Ampersand - write whatever you like and yes the cheapo fig rolls will do just fine!
