hurrah! means I dont have to focus on the potentially awful customers...I have a feeling it is going to be one of those mornings for some reason!0

I'd swap if you like..and go to work for you..maybe just one week though til the o
novelty wore off..I think I'd be quite good as I'm a whizz with the self serve checkouts at ours lol0 -
Haha yes, the novelty soon wears off. I've been there five years now and I'm glad I'm only allowed to do three hours a week. When I first started I thought it was great fun and worked all the hours under the sun...soon got bored

I hope you have a lovely time today

Hehe I'm sure I will.. My only frustration is that we're not even leaving til 10.30
(my friends not an early riser at the best of times and has to do treatment / physio first anyway as she suffers from CF) so that's not her fault, but I'm the opposite. If it was up to me i'd be on my way lol..but I think we should make it in 90mins (maybe less if I can get away with being a little speedy lol).. And I know we'll have a fab time.. 0 -
Oh I think I'll pick my camera up from the office on the way so I can take shopping photos!0

Yes take camera!

Oh that plates cute daisy. I'm not sure what to get for my mum, usually ends up being jewellery or something from monsoon at bdays / Xmas so I'll have a look today..0
-
I wish I could get my mum jewellery like that, but she's allergic to everything! The only earrings I can get her (that I can afford) are the ones they use for ear piercing lol, she's just lost her favourite pair, so I'm going to replace those!0

Morning everyone,
Up early here for the car boot (but not as early as some of you!)
Love the idea of a 'clothes swap' - glad you're on the case daisy
. It would be great to be able to do it, especially as I'm sure there are a few impulse buys amongst us. It would be really good to give them to another appreciative home
.
Make up is done, but I'm not sure on outfit yet. Hubby is still in bed (refuses to get up before 8 on a Saturday :mad:). Probably be jeans and warm jumper for the boot sale and I might get changed before we go shopping this pm - I keep trying to justify the washing
Have a good day everyone and I'll pop back on later to catch up with here/blogs xxxxx:jWeight loss to date 1st 11.5lb :j0 -
Ohh have fun at the car boot! I'm always up early, lol, only day it's useful is a Saturday!
Give PF all credit for clothes swap, I'm only killing time at work thinking about it
she came up with the idea 
Have a great day!0
