    ... 4 binbags full of armanii and beyond my budget clothes !!! we have big try ons and then bemoan the fact "where are we going to wear it all " !!?? its a hard life......:rotfl:

    You get Armani, and I get chicken feed; another 3 bags under cover of darkness last night + some bedding! :D

    It was peeing down here too this a.m. so we decided to go shopping; me to the supermarket and DW to Exeter. Apparently, she's lost about £50 on M&S jeans that didn't fit, their having been reduced to £5. What's annoying is that the branch was closed when we wanted to visit it last month because, according to rumour, a member of staff had commited arson there. Perhaps they changed her terms & conditions too....:rotfl: I dunno, when you can't trust M&S any more, things are definitely going downhill. :(


    Haven't been on here much recently, but I'm still keeping up with you folks, just. ;) I'm often too tired in the evenings to string words together, but we're making progress. I'll be able to give you a photo-update soon. We're currently preparing the trench for othe new 80' beech hedge between us and mini Alton Towers, and I have put wood ash in that, lots of it, plus about 8 barrow loads of well-rotted pig manure. I want that hedge to grow fast! :cool:

    Barry white......lol......stiletto heels...lol...... clearing throat.....lol...

    came home from work a bit early today... so having a cuppa, and peace and quiet before the kids come home...

    been putting the feelers out today, to see if anyone would be interested in buying our business....as in all honesty i think this might be one of the only ways to get a big wedge in, to go towards buying a place...

    just going to finish my cuppa off, and get on with some jobs....

    might also practice doing some 'croaking' to alure hubby.:rotfl: then again he will prob run a mile:rotfl:

    actually if you have the receipt then you get full refund ie £50. if you dont , have you got a visa/bank statement to prove you bought them? when i had my shop i had all the "regs" and im surprised m&s dont honor it !! there is not a set time limit...just a reasonable time...circumstances permitting. my advice is try again or complain up high.... id be well miffed too...good luck

    Sounds blissful CTC :)

    I've done better than croak...I went to goddamawfulBlockbuster and got a dvd to snuggle up to this evening. :)

    Still not decided what jobs to tackle tomorrow.
