I did look in BHF, and there were some nice bags, but no hidden Radleys in there.....
It is literally a stones throw from the office, though, so I will keep popping in to see what, if anything, turns up!
We're off for drinks after work....paid for by the boss to say thanks for all our hard work up to the end of the tax year.....and the children are with their Dad for a couple of hours, and I am on the bus home so no danger of drink driving.....so it seems absolutely the right thing to do

THANK YOU for the responses to my request for help over the questionnaire. Now drafted.
Good to hear that you're feeling a bit better Hypno... and this evenings drinks after work sounds good - for the anaesthetic effect if nothing else :eek:
I've a BHF close by. I don't understand such keen interest in handbags and shoesbut will happily look out for a bag if anyone wants me to. I need to return some of the favours I've called in so please send me pictures/details of what I can look out for for you
Loving the second house Se - I echo entirely KC's comments :rotfl::rotfl: Good luck with the search, hope you get a home you enjoy.
Have a good evening everyone - it's beautiful here, though the wind's a bit chill!0 -
Hi all, hope you enjoyed another sunny, if nippy day!

We all want to save money and look after our lovely planet but I am ruthless about not looking like a tramp to do so!!! X'The road to a friends house is never long'0

Thanks Souk it's just what I needed
Admittedly when it's intensive DIY painting shirts are needed, even for gardening sometimes. How do TV gardeners normally look so smart and unsweaty? Even on those 60 minute makeovers, why don't people get sprayed with paint spray from the rollers??????
But going to try to lift things a bit anyway? lot

Back home, having had lovely free G&Ts after work.......then nipped round Tesco to get food for tomorrow's picnic, and met the children at the bus stop. A nice end to the week.
Not looking forward to a 4am alarm call tomorrow, but hey, that's the joy of being a Mum I guess!
I am now sporting two black eyes - strange how it has taken 36 hours since the fall for the bruising in my eyes to come through - not a great look, I have to say.....although it is somewhat hidden amongst the general dark circles that I am normally sporting!
