    Have gone to send a message to internet man and he's closed his account! Talk about teasing and then !!!!!!ing off!

    See - left it too long. Strike when the fish are biting.
    I was going to say the cheek of the man but having heard about some of these dating sites I'm wondering if he had some scary dodgy messages and fled in fear (not from Butti).

    Or he may just have been disheartened from his lack of success.
    Raining again here, I have plans for a garden revamp but they will have to wait:(

    It has been thunderballs and lightning, very, very frightning! here.

    The storm clouds have been really strange - never seen anything like them before. The did however, produce the goods.

    Yes we passed a few cars floating in the goods at Heworth Metro Centre, at the spot I sometimes park in.

    Phew :eek:

    The long-stay car park? Through the tunnel?

    That's bad...

    Hope the weather is calming down for everyone, I've looked at the forecast for here and lots more rain to come and a couple of days with thunder and lightening :(

    Off into town with DS in search of trainers, oh joy...

    Had lovely night out yesterday with a couple of friends I hadn't seen for a while and ate way too much leading to a spot of heartburn last night, still sleepy this morning but was a fab night so worth it! Diet and spends to be much stricter for the next few days.

    ooo and a couple of ebay bargains have arrived both fab! lovely jacket for a couple of pounds and another dress...yes I know :o...

    And a bit of darkening as well? ;)

    I went out today as I haven't been feeling all that good. Loads of pools of water - some of quite significant size. Loads of bit of roads just blown away - amazing what a bit of hydraulic pressure can do. This is quite spectacular... http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/multimedia/news/local-news/2012/06/29/manhole-cover-burst-open-in-newcastle-72703-31287988/

    These can often be found in shoe shops and sports emporia... ;)

    :T Fab nights are always worth it.

    I bought a dress yesterday in Alnwick. £6.80 from a charity shop and it looked better on me than on the mannequin! (Thought it was Per Una but it was a George! Mind you didn't George go to Per Una?)

    Twas very pleased!

    Way too many dresses Z :o

    Bargain Butti! I saw a nice East top in a CS today but it was shut seeing it's sunday...

    Had a lovely walk with DS and went to look for seals - sadly none about the harbour seeing the boats don't fish on a sunday but was a nice walk...

    Been discussing plans for the summer, DS would rather go to the safari park than the zoo and as it's cheaper that's fine with me :D. Quite fancied seeing the pandas but I remember rushing to see the koalas and them being curled up asleep when we went....

    Oh? Were you up there to see the gardens?

    Why are you so surprised? Shop dummies are not the be-all and end all of body shape.
