  • Flattering eh? What is wrong with a bit of flirting this time of year? You never know he may just look young but is actually ten years older...

    I'd go for the flirt option Bob - you never know what gems he may keep for you. funnily enough the bloke at our tip flirts with me too, you obviously have as glamorous a life as me or you wouldn't be recognised by him! DS hates going with me but we seem to go at least once a month.

    I appealed one once Beanie and they didn't argue with me.

    All good here, just been to see Inkheart - Brendan Fraser and Paul Bettany both looking divine in one film! and DS loved the story...

    Just had to nip out and buy another pressie - forgot pal's SD, we don't see much of her but she'll be there when I give the other's their pressies so didn't want to miss her out. Not that she got much just some mad slippers and a t-shirt out of Primani but she'll be happy enough.
    I'm absolutely shattered and just want to sleep but have another couple of days left to work. went down the beach earlier after the shops I think bracing would be an understatement!
    DS wants to do the chocky thing for his dad and paint some stuff and I've still not done the ironing...
