    how OLD am I?

    the bar was VERY noisy so we asked them to turn it down. In our defence there were no other customers. Probably couldn't stand the racket. As I said to the bouncer. WELL WE COULD STAY HERE AND BUY WINE AND YELL AT EACH OTHER OR WE COULD GO ELSEWHERE WHERE WE CAN HEAR EACH OTHER SPEAK AND BUY WINE THERE
    they turned it down:rolleyes: - ooh more customers appeared:rolleyes: I have been on facebook to see who has been wishing my mate happy birthday and sending her kisses. I have a name but I am no wiser :rotfl:but I have poked one of her friends who's a former colleague actually...

    on a flying note I HAVE put some washing in...and I have pulled my lashes off and my left eye hurts now. Still they'll do another day...
    :rotfl::rotfl:valli honey - you crease me up when you have had a glass or 2 - hope the head and the ears are ok today xxx

    Mrs B you could chill with a book ????

    have deleted 123 emails from my freecycle email addy.
    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder
