    Hi bob,

    Been in and out like a fiddlers elbow today!! Colds are so cr*p when you're in that 'cotton wool head' state aren't they.

    No, couldn't take the van because of dropping DS off in Birmingham on the way. just been out in her to do shopping....and pose:D , especially at Bicester Village ( the 'designer outlet, vomit ) where, on a Friday, all the sales reps in their boring, basic BMWs turn up to skive and look at all the women they've got no chance with.
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D

    Glad you're feeling a bit better.It's hard work working out the best way to transfer balances about but the o/d bit sounds ok.Hope you managed to get a sleepand are now feeling a bit better.
  • Poser...:D

    The nearest one like that for us is Chesire Oaks, The Lowry, or The one at Colne..which is rather good:T I like them all really, but the last time i actually bought anything decent was when we stopped off at the Clarkes one in Street Nr Glastonbury. Mind i could shop anywhere:rotfl: :rotfl:

    Did you out pose the BMWers?

    Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:

    I know... i think i must have had my fuzzy head on..i actually have about £160 to knock off the balance and can probably clear it next month...just goes to show how dumb i am at times:o

    How's your back? Just off to find out...answering my own question again..doh!:rolleyes:

    As far as I'm concerned owning a BMW shows a complete lack of personality and a tendency to be led by the nose down whatever road the Marketing Departments of 'designer' Companies decide that you should go. A mobility scooter would out pose a BMW:rotfl:

    We find that the best time to go shopping at Bicester Village is on a thursday when they are beginning to panic about the weekend delivery and need the space.
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D

    Forgiven on the antique convertible, you're coveting one for the right reasons, if it was an Alpina2002 you would be completely absolved of all BmW sins.
