    Of course you can, I think hamster's right they should be stripey as well and socks too. Comfort, for us, is the name of the game. Discomfort for the clientele, so they can pay and leave.

    Coins will uncomfortable rattling round in big pants, so I think, in the name of comfort only notes. I suppose, if you're insistent about taking coinage, you could wear a small money belt, bit like a market trader....not sure how classy that is going to make our anti lap dancing emporium...

  • Coins - so last year - unless you keep them in your socks? - bit clattery though.

    I think the OH's should make sure only notes make it through to the big pant arena - coins can be kept save in piggie banks in the vestibule :)

    I'm supposed to be on a sensible conference call but am laughing my stripy socks off (blue, yellow and green today) :)

    If these socks are combined with bloomers - probably no need for any hair removal - but thats probably a bit silly.

    Now have visions of ladies in bathing suits (old style stripey ones) taking gentlemen into thier 'bathing huts' for an anti-lapdance:rotfl:

    As I am reviewing literature - this has cheered me up no end.

  • Hi bob

    I know I think I actually snorted in coffee at work - whoops!!

    Hows life - about to stick my nose over other folks diaries.

    Also *trying* to meal plan to be able to *plan* shopping while I am away at easter - no mean feat


    OH car has failed MOT - and guess who's car he is now interested in borrrowing for the duration. :)

    Lol - suddenly I am very useful - but its my wee car paid for by my own money and its just been insured and about to be taxed (rather meanly?!?) I don't know if I want to just hand over one of my assest into the mist.

    Ramble over x

    I am ok, just ticking along at the moment and i can't say that any purposeful debt busting has been going on:o

    Your OH has a similar regard for cars as Mr.B does. He had my last car off me when he lost his company car and went Self employed. Then he decided he needed a grand car, to match his status:confused: and traded my car in, which i had bought and paid for, taxed and mot'd for his car:mad:
    So i went and bought a new one thinking my savings would pay it off and then Mr.B had another surprise for me:eek: sad story of my life in a nutshell:cool:

    Anyway , long story short..make him get his car sorted..you have kids and stuff to look out for:D Don't be joining the saga of BOB:rotfl: :rotfl:

    Hi All, will try and catch up soon. Thanks for cheering me up with anti-lap dancing. I needed a giggle.
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J
