    I've stopped using my big wine glasses (spillage and calorie issues) and use a wee tiny tumbler thing now but the only problem is it holds only around a third of the amount that the big glasses do and so DS thinks I'm an alcoholic cos I've had lots of glasses of wine as opposed to the one!

    P.S. who on earth is Chipmunk?

    That's an excellent idea i shall abandon my wine glasses immediately- well after thi sglass of ourse and switch to my teeny glasses (etched by my own fair hands:D) i have the exact same issues with calories etc. so it might just work- off to measure how much they take.:cool:

    Isn't chipmunk one of those singer/artist like Dizzy Rascal (dunno what kind of music that's called) He sings- "Hi my name is chip diddpy chip i don't give a chip...blah blah blah"
    i listen to far too much Radio1:o(and 4)

    I like the shoes Shoe gal, which PJs do they go best with then:p? Personally I would prefer them without the peep toes but that's probably cos it's too puddly up here:D.

    I was doubtful about the peep toe too - but really like it now :D Have tried them with tights too - and they look fab!

    ooo, maybe there's a uniform here - that's what I'm wearing too but have gone with the fluffy pink socks option over the glam heels:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.
