    I had an Afghan coat, as well.

    And a boyfriend who lived in Liverpool and took me to the Cavern to see the Beatles before they were famous.

    And then he dumped me!!!!

    Hi Jinny

    We call Primark Primarni in Bristol as well, never heard of Matalino before though!

    I am delivering leaflets for work on Saturday for £50, then off for a girlie shopping trip with the girls to Primarni on Sunday. I think £50 will buy at least half the store!

    Fab. I will try to find a Primark.

    I love purple girlies, i wear a lot of pink and red and orange too. It cheers me up at work. When we have a reuinion i will turn up in a multicoloured maxi. I will probably clear the bar (as it will scare people away) so we dont need to queue up.

    The Beatles. Oh my gosh. What an experience. Did you all wear mini skirts?

    So far i have only ever met one person in their 60's that ever got stoned.

    The beach boys, oh my gosh The Doors. It is all coming back.....

    Yes, I had a mini skirt.

    And when I was at home I used to put my coat on over it before I went out so that my parents couldn't see how short it was!
