    Don't be so mean! I did tell him today I'd returned all his stuff cos he got into trouble but I think he knows I was only joking... not had time for one thing!

    Meant to say the primari dress was a big hit and apparently looked very Hepburnesque so Givenchy will be turning in his grave :D

    Hey! There I was, saying you should be giving him a present (a lump of coal) which would be useful (it provides heat), and you're calling me mean.

    Yet you're talking about giving him nothing!

    Meany! :p

    What would Hepburn be doing in hers then?

    I don't think she'd be too fussed! Think the designer would care more.

    Only a few more of days of college then I'm on holiday!!!! straight back to hand in assessments after new year, I have been sold down the river - thought students just went to the pub all day?

    Money left in entertainment budget and no further plans so I think maybe a wee overpayment might be in order:D

    By BBQ coals, do you mean the lava rock ones that don't burn?

    Giving someone fake coal for Christmas which they can't even set light to...devastating! :rotfl:

    They do. That's why they fail.

    Leave it until after Christmas. You never know, someone may really like the look of your Ms Santa outfit... :xmassmile

    My only concession to poshness in the barbecue area is that I buy lumpwood rather than briquettes.

    Don't know why really, the bit of cow goes on the BBQ bleeding, and is taken off - still bleeding...

    Why? Is it going to rain? It's forecast snow here...
