The revenge of the stripey socks - a DFW adventure

Pippilongstocking

Well - I am so full of a roast dinner I could burst!

Decided I need to do a bit of planning to sort life into some kind of order and also to make sure I maximise opportunities

Going to meet OH means I can actually sneak a bit of a shop into an empty bag on the plane - need to look at what's acheivable to take home to update the stripeysocks garage shop a bit.

We've managed to last 9 months on my projected 6 months worth of many things - but we've just opened the last dishwasher tablets etc. SO need to make a 'dried' food type of list to see if I can sneak some decent bargains home on the plane.

Well I guess its a kind of 'duty free' but more practical!

arghghghghg they are touching the beans and the eggs are touching not good not good.

I have been given a similar plateful before and had to wipe the egg from the beany slobber and move it past the sausages to a little barrier place all safe from the beans. It took 3 napkins to achieve non beany egg.

Yup I am that sad

Fraid so

Just looked on quidco and am getting £48.03 at the end of the month - woo hoo:j
That can go into the 'travel' budget for trips to the sawff - or sooth as they say round these parts

Just paid CC £650 (wholly guacamole) and paid my proof reader (£8) - must start pad's to penguin chops who I msn'd with today and is returning to the real world in early April - I must be OUT after that date. He has been OK - he's said not to worry about the loan but just pay as much as I can when ready. WHich is kinda nice although him and nice don't often go together

Sausage barriers rock!

Pips mum all the MIL avoidance and extra overtime will leave you shattered - take care of yourself - nice to see you're with me on the egg/bean thing.

Henny you mean 'doon sooth' - can ye no speak braw and proper like us Scots?:rotfl:

Did we decide when we were aiming for? - Wrong thread - whoops will meander across

Frightened to mention it incase we have a licensed premises argument again....

Maybe we could all go round the Natural History Museum, then pop into their cafe for an over-priced latte?

Good grief. Where's the roll eyes & shrug shoulders smileys when you need them, you lot really are barking

No food related issues here. However, I must confess if I go in a shop where they have battery operated dogs, pigs etc walking about I have to liberate them from corners and set them free again

Enjoy your 5 weeks of freedom Fay
