    Cheery daff you do make me giggle

    Oh has informed me this am under his work trousers and engineerying demenour he is wearing purple and blue stripey socks

    And was giggling like a girl.

    As to not moving to Orkney - Pah to him - we constantly fight about it. He refuses - nice place to visit he reckons, lovely way of life but not where he wants to live. Tut indeed.

  • Congratulations on your upcoming Stripey nuptuals:D:j:T

    I think you have loads of room for a Stripey wedding in garden and Darwin would look great in wedding regalia....apparently Vera does this all the time;)


    I can visualise it all now.:D

    Sunny Lerwick waves a stripey foot to u all

    Please don't get paranoid about my ever increasing distance from u all - it's the flowers fault - honest :)spoke to kids :)

    I found a newly written plant book that I helped a bit with proofing and plant collecting for - and nearly cartwheeled in the shop as he mentioned our dept and me in the acknowledgements (insert cartwheeling smiley :)).

    It's in my b and b room now :) small reasons to smile :) a few kind words always does it for me


    Bob that was my first idea, BUT my surrogate mummmy can't travel to Orkney so am thinking central Scotland sad though cos we have tonnes room here and a lovely garden :(

    I have stripes-envy; I STILL haven't managed to get out to buy some stripy socks. Nearest I get is pink fluffy ones - they look really weird with my office trousers - looks as if I forgot to remove my bedsocks :rotfl::rotfl:

    Come to think of it - they WERE bedsocks :rotfl::rotfl:
