    Now come on Len, you can't tease us with that and then not elucidate (sp?) any further!! The ladder in my pair is now HUGE by the way, I am not happy, but having worn them today I don't know whether taking them back to M&S having been worn, I'm not too sure now!

    Well I'm back and it was very exciting!! Alas no freebies to talk of. I saw lots of people with bags with the shopping centre's name on, but I saw no one handing them out. But Debenhams did have 25% off everything, so with my vouchers I bought the pinkest set of luggage you have seen! I won't miss them coming off the conveyer belt! Original cost £120, with discounts came to £38! AND they're the right size for hand luggage, so should I ever travel Ryanscare I won't need to pay for luggage!

    Lots of other shops there and if I had the money I could've bought half of H&M! But it has made the town centre a bit ghost like, with lots of empty shops. But hopefully they will fill up soon and also the independent traders will not lose out and people will still come in.

    Alas Luc, I can't see the photos, but your avatar looks lovely and I have to say I'm feeling somewhat broody!
    Well I was only doing what any other normal, healthy lad would do in that position :D

    Afternoon everyone :)

    *LUC* huge congratulations lovely, he is absolutely stunning! I LOVE the name, and very much wanted to use it for DS but as it's BIL's name we decided his ego couldn't handle it! :D He is just lovely. Enjoy that newborn smell and the little snuffly noises and the oh-so familiar wriggles and kicks that mimic the movements you feel when pregnant, I loved that with DS, like I just knew him... <sigh>

    I want one! My friend had a baby last Monday, another friend has just told me she is pregnant, one at work is just going on ML, another at work is due in May, and yet another due in July! I feel bloody surrounded!

    IT is cold here but no snow, I am waiting for DS to wake up so I can hug him, Bunny I almost DID wake him when I read your post :o :eek: NEVER WAKE A SLEEPING BABY :eek: <chants mantra>

    awwwwwwwww.........lovely pics Luc..........

    Had a text from my Mum earlier to say my grandad is in hospital again. I think this is the third time in 18 months. He's not a well man really, it looks like pneumonia - again. Last time he was in he was then given the oxygen at home as he has emphysaema (sp?) but he was off that. Years of smoking (although he gave up around 20 years ago) and working down a coal mine sadly.
    :D"Stay Wonky":D

    So is that really what 'normal, healthy' lads do when faced with a pair of tights and other undergarments, or is it just forces types?! I remember there being photos of my bro (ex-RAF) parading around with a bra on, so it must be!!

    I think it is Queeny. I don't think we're immature, it's just inherent :D

    That's ashame BB. It does make you wonder what we are doing today that they say is ok until we find it isnt in 40 years time! I was having a giggle at you sliding down the driveway btw; in a nice way of course :D
