    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:see! I was in that place up your way this week too so you could have brought it along and I could have just sewn it and listened to everyone else. My senior school blazer had the braid already on - obviously folks are lazier down here! BTW I hated every second of sewing DS's labels on.

    I'm off now for a swim, fabby new hair won't look so nice after but that's life:D.

    Bunny I am older than you - the same age as Spud (don't like saying it out loud too often)! actually even older as my birthday's Feb.

    Still no scuba divers... Sally I've seen a plastering course near(ish) me and if I do it then I can "cascade" that knowledge to you - tis pricey though so haven't made my mind up yet.

    I'm still shopping online at asda, very annoyed that there's stuff instore that isn't online, and that the special offers are different. I guess I can just go and pick up the extra stuff sometime.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
