  • Crikey ! You two have lived in more places than me! :D
    I have a trailer tent so can happily pitch in Fays garden and have enough room for a marquee type party room. :rotfl:
    Hate Baileys though SM so it's all yours. I do have some home brewed elderflower wine ( tastes like cough medicine, might make all the poorlies feel better) and 20 tonnes of homemade marmalade to contribute. :D
    Getting there...slowly! :D

    GC : must do better
    NSD: very rare

    No matter how slow I go I am lapping everyone on the couch.

  • I am a mungeral ?sp I don't belong anywhere. \(go figure eh?!)

    Mum half irish
    Dad scottish

    Born in scotland - 6mths old dad joined army. nSwanned off to various places in englandshire - oxford, notts, leamington and overseas -
    Back to scotland when 12 for my 'education' - how I hated them.

    in england i was scottish and in scotland I sound english - my accent is all over the place, whenever I get near a person with a strong accent I develop a twang like theirs.

    Tis very embarrassing.

    Not too sure I like bailies much either? although I hear its v nice on icecream.
    YB why do you have lots of marmalade does it breed like SM bailies?

    SM you shoudl do a deal with Piq - she loves bailies......

    Andan I am with you there, I haven't lived anywhere for more than a couple of years - get terribly twitchy if I don't move. The idea of bieng here for 6 years more is very scary!!!!

  • I'm currently chilling out in some silk PJ's I bought for 2 euros in Ireland. They were marked on the tag as 2 euro down from 8 and were the only pair marked, when I asked they said they didn't know why the tag was marked but I could still have them for 2 euro, yay! Bargain.

    That said I spent £150 in total on my holiday to ireland, which I guess is a lot for 3 days of holiday but included flights, travel to and from there and around and food / drinks out so I guess not too bad :p

    Fay, know the feeling of 'not fiitting in'!! When i visit my family they call me a soft southerner, or comment on my scouse accent, depending on what i say. But when i am in Southport i am seen as a southerner now and when i am down South i am seen as a northerner!

    congrats pips mum on how much you have paid off, go you!!
