What on earth is one of those? Is it an up market way of saying "bumbag"?;)

Like a satchel with a body strap....does that make sense?


lotus -eater thinking about your sandschool question again, if I were to buy one and not use it (if I were to buy one....I do not have one as other MSEer who have seen my new gaff will confirm ) and I lived in an appropriate area I would see if rental for it were worth the insurance of keeping it. Its not just horse riders, but sometimes dog trainers like them, especially if its covered. A covered one is MUCH easier/chepaer to convert to other things though are less common because of impact n rates. I'm interested to see wht happens with this in the future. If I were, say, to employ a riding teacher full time I would be getting extremely concerned about the implications of having them stand outside up to 8 hours a day in the sun teaching. I'm not so keen on doing that myself. (another reason for me to evaluate what its worth for me to work is things like that).

He doesn't have a briefcase, he has a messenger bag. (is that what they are called? I'm having a doubt now? ), in any case, it wouldn't be too much of a problem.

Aaaah...... A ManBag. OH has on of those...bought when he got fed up of carrying things in Asda carrier bags and wasn't always in a car....so the stuff went on the seat instead.

There are a couple of very interesting comments on the "I love London" article. One says she lives a mile or two away from Liz and that she is far from being in a remote and almost inaccessible spot.

Another says she knows the house Liz bought and used to visit there - before Liz bought the place it was nice and far from derelict etc.

Is LJ anorexic? In the pic in the latest article she looks really skinny, far more so than the normally slender frame in the picture of her with her horse.

She was anorexic. Whether she still is.....

its what I often skirt around, mental health...if not an eating disorder some of the issues that are inextricably linked. Its ''dangerous'' to presume anything absolutely: not being a doctor

Maybe more Orthorexic and she did write once that she can't write (which is her F/T job) unless she has hunger pangs in her stomach.

She may have lost weight (from an already slim frame) just due to the cold and the manual work looking after the farm/animals?

I am so derr..I only just found out that I am one of the mugs who pays silly money for off peak train fairs as I just go to station and buy ticket ~(as one has done for 35 years ) when I was told you can buy online and get then @ 80% less or something.

In fact anyone know a good link?
but seems crazy that the train costs more than fuel, congestion charge and parking

Thanks...I found a couple some time back and reckon we have saved (or rather not spent) the equivalent of 3 pairs of mid range shoes (say full price Aldo) but the annoying catch is on most having to specify journeys to and from...to is fine but we can't always know when we finish.
