    Mine just says that everything I pick up is lovely so I should buy it........he usually isnt even looking at the item when I show it to him:rotfl:

    I could pick up a pair of mens Yfronts and he would say Yes, they are lovely............get them.

    dare you to do that!!! :rotfl::D

    Evening all :D

    Bun - hope the treatment starts working soon :)

    Me and OH are great shopping together - we both take the storm in, grab something, pay attitude to shopping! Managed to buy my running trousers in size 4-6 (they said 8 on the label) just realised they arent supposed to be tight - they are supposed to be loose :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:No wonder I've been getting hassle wearing them :eek::rotfl::rotfl:

    The only time I like to browse is online but then I have the problems that I cant be sure its going to fit and I'm never in to sign for it...I wish more shops did that deliver to store option!

    10lbs so far. Quite pleased with that, but definitely need to get of me arriss a bit more. Saw an advert for Manchester Shine, a walking maratho/half marathon in aid of cancer research. Seriously tempted to sign up :D



    We will definitley get there. I just dont want DS to get downhearted if the rest of us are losing.

    I know someone who goes on the midnight walks and she loves them. I'd love to do them if I could. I used to love going for long walks.

    Nothing like that, no Pooky. He does extra curricular stuff at school 4 days a week, but they're learning support rather than physical activity. Maybe I need to look into something for him.

    I hated PE and games at school, and any form of exercise, but I started doing jujitsu and loved it, it wasn't really like 'exercise', which had always meant being humiliated by being crap at games, it was just fun. So maybe he'll do better with something that he wants to do? Maybe have a look in the library or community centre for leaflets of things going on round and about that aren't connected to school?

    My £5 off wasn't credited damnit. Do you think if I complain about not getting the compensation for my last complaint I'll get more :rotfl:. Maybe it just takes a few days to credit it, I've got 3 months to use it in. Just waiting for the food now, I'm starving even though I've been asleep all day.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    dare you to do that!!! :rotfl::D

    Its a challenge then.............I shall see what the most rediculous item I can get him to say "buy it" to when we are in Asda over the weekend:D
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    BB-I would love to do a shop like that-mine is usually in ALDI counting every single flipping penny. *sigh*

    oh, I'll still be doing that........it's just that the 3 for £10 bottles of rose might get added to the trolley ;) Saying that, he never looks anymore at what I've bought but it feels verrrrrrry bad to be spending £10 on alcohol all for me when I don't normally add alcohol to the shopping he pays for, I use the money to stretch as far into the month as possible. Thing is, I'll be eating a fraction of what we normally get through in a week. A pound of mince is normally 1 portion for me, 2 for him and then he clears the pan. Occasionally I get a bowl full for a lunch, but not often! A packet will last me 3 meals I reckon.
    :D"Stay Wonky":D

  • Sal, that would be lovely! I asked Sammy and she said no, lol.

    I think it is Spud!

    I fell in love with Edinburgh, such a gorgeous city.
