I'm SO glad I'm not alone!
I got instant ridicule for saying I didn't want to eat outside just now.. so warned them if I go outside, expect me to whinge every 30 seconds.. I pretty much kept that up until the sun went behind the lovely big cloud :rotfl:
wish I'd thought of a sticky drink instead.. hmm. Instead I'll just have to sit here evil eyeing him until hometime :rolleyes:Best wins since June 08: 2xNikonD60, 2xBrothers Cider, £330 SwanJackpot, £100 Garden Vs, £50 Espirit V, £750 BigSnap2, Wiifit, zoo tix, 7xCadburys, 5xGlamour, IOWTix, Dell Laptop, 3xIpodNano, £100 Highstreet Vs, Digi VideoCamera and more small bits, REAL DEAL £2400! :jRIP Dad 1943-20090 -
