Well that depends on how common babes are where you live...
I took offence to that at first! I thought you were calling me common:D!You need to do research. So you know what's available *before* you hit the shops.
I have tried that but apart from today when I went to BIG shops I only go near them maybe twice a year and the local ones don't always have a great selection. Poor lass in Next was telling me she was working late tonight and then starting at 4am tomorrow - yikes!Location, location, location?
Too right! I will consider the towns on either side of me but that's about it, I would spent too much time running backwards and forward to here and on the odd occasion I go out I wouldn't be able to get a taxi (without a second mortgage)... sigh - it would be a lovely house just if they move it nearer to me but then again price would go up about 50K min.

But if you do t'internet and get a shortlist, then it's likely that the local shops will have at least one of what you've shortlisted.skint_spice wrote: »Too right! I will consider the towns on either side of me but that's about it,

The odd £10,000 off the price pays for a lot of taxis.skint_spice wrote: »Elantan, yep I'm right there on Hypno's !!!!!! page, some lovely places...

i'm doing good ...quiet but good ...enjoying the calm before the storm i think lol
Always enjoy the good times, and don't worry about the bad. They'll arrive without you needing to worry about them.

That's a lot of dedication! I only wanted a white t-shirt today and failed miserably:rotfl::rotfl:Oh? You live in posh central?

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:no but Elantan thinks it's picturesque! there's much posher but much, much worse!
True on the taxis but don't underestimate the joy of being a kid and being able to walk/cycle to your pals and having a happier mum cos she doesn't have to take you there or have the wee darlings overnight!There are indeed...

There's a lot of skill in getting a white T-shirt. Apparently. I have no troubles... :whistle:skint_spice wrote: »:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:no but Elantan thinks it's picturesque! there's much posher but much, much worse!
As is most places. Though near where I work, there were a couple of shootings within a week. Not much worse than there...skint_spice wrote: »True on the taxis but don't underestimate the joy of being a kid and being able to walk/cycle to your pals and having a happier mum cos she doesn't have to take you there or have the wee darlings overnight!
A bike does about 10mph, so within a hours ride is reasonable. After all, if your son becomes super fit on a bike, the [STRIKE]hussies[/STRIKE] girls will be falling over themselves to be with him...skint_spice wrote: »still looking too then...
Not at the moment. Saw a pretty good one, but work is too unsettled for me to be committing to a 6 month minimum term."Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)
