Just unlurking to say good luck to DD with the orchestra - did lots of similar things when I was younger and auditions are scary but a great experience playing with groups like that.

Good luck with the Welliefest plans too

Hey redsquirrel - first one I've seen this year!!

Thanks - she's a fairly good cellist (her teacher says and is on grade 5) and she's a joy to watch but becoming more nervous by the day as the teen years tick on., she's just 13 and a stripe.

I hope she's OK - I think it might be fun for her, thanks again :A

I will definitely second the fun of internet banking - I spent my lunchbreak today playing with the snowball calculator and trying to work out if I walked to my new job and eat the free lunch how much quicker I could be debt free...6 weeks!!!

I used to spend it online shopping...but this in much more entertaining!

Fay, that dinner set sounds like a terrible oversight...how could it have happened?

lol to the carelessness!

*and* to the sock hunt! But you know what really happens, don't you? They fall through a hole in the space time continuum, and enter into another dimension. The 11th, if I remember correctly

I thought they got eaten by the Sock Monster?

I do believe when I purchased by 32 piece aubergene dinner set (8 each of gorgeous deeply purple flawless peedie and big plates, bowls, mugs) I was indeed in that 11th dimension where odd socks are known to occur

Indeed in the 11th dimension - whilst frequenting the quidconian zone in the ebayaronian sector - the misshap occured due to the extreme shock experienced when the chap emailed me today to say that not only would he indeed send the gorgeous aubergenian plates up to orkney (he'd even heard of it) - there was also no extra charge :rotfl:

I'm dreaming of a purple xmas

Is that where all my pens go? Well all except the annoying splodgy ones that I just can't get rid of (I bought them for Uni about 15 yrs ago :eek:)... they just keep turning up... can't get rid of them :rolleyes:... I think they have some kind of evil homing beacon! :rotfl:

How dare you call me dog a monster :mad: (:D)

He only eats socks to say hello and in the mornings :rotfl:

He does however look very cute when he is a sock monster (whoops I've given his real identity away)..........drat!

Taka its where every blooming parker fountain pen of mine goes - then I buy a new one and then hey presto the old pen comes to meet and greet the new pen - happiness enschews until they both booger off together and I am forced yet again to write with one of your evil homing splodgy pens....................:rotfl:

I have just laughed out loud at this thread... really loudly... and have tears of laughter too... I need to go home now before my office mates have me committed! I'm not sure explaining the 11th dimension/ ebayaronian sector/sock monster would convince them of my sanity so I'm making a break for it while I can... :rotfl:

*runs away... still laughing* :rotfl:
