    Ohh I'll check my local Boots when I am down there Friday JJ, I've had some fab bargains from there before on tights!

    I'd love to meet up but I can't abandon my duties at home lol!
    If anyone's going to be in Essex for any reason I'm happy to meet for coffee.

    Have had a productive day planting seeds and getting the greenhouse up (we decided to stick with the smaller one and I think it should be big enough for us as long as we are organised)

    Still on the look out for a red pot, I might resort to buying paint and making one myself if I have no luck in Homebase tomorrow.

    Poundland had some OK big plastic teal planters for £1 so picked up 3 of them for salad leaves and herbs etc.

    I didn't do my outfit today but right now I'm in:
    Massive grey T-shirt £1 Sainsburys.
    Purple leggings £3.75 Sainsburys
    White pink and grey Kangaroo trainers £10 Barratts
    and my coat because it's chilly out.
    Just about to leave for Aerobics, hope it's OK as I've missed 2 weeks in a row and I'm bound to loose the plot!

    DB - hope you're teeth feel better soon. Still can't get over the fact we saw the same person! Does your Mum fancy him a bit too? mine thought he was really "dishy" her words not mine lol!

    LOL Vicki, I'm not sure my Mum has ever met him as she won't drive up to the hospital (she's a nervous driver!) so Dad always takes me! I can't believe we have the same guy either...small world!

    Lol, are you very black country then Goan? Years and years ago I went out with a guy who lived in Great Wyrley - some cracking accents round there!

    I'm from Walsall and Dad's family were all from Great Wyrley. What a small world!
    My Czech friend's been teaching here for 2 years and her accent is so strong people ask her if she's a Brummie. :rotfl:

    Thanks, Chick! I've got some yellow shoes they'll go a treat with.

    By the way, the locals think I'm quite posh it's only when I leave the security of the West Midlands that nobody understands me.

    Isn't it! I've only ever met one other person from there, never mind anyone else who's even heard of it!

    He wasn't called Kevin by any chance? One of my pals has just started dated a really sweet Great Wyrley bloke who lives in a gorgeous farmhouse.
