    Oops Spoon, did I type that out loud! :p

    Nargle, perhaps padded cycling shorts might be in order for the beach? Probably no point bring my bucket and spade then if it's so stony :(.

    Come to think of it, let's be MSE - why spend a fortune on sore bottom cream when a tub of chip fat will do just as well?

    Well as ever Monday was a Spend Day for me - I just got in and was checking the thread and what do I find - TrollZappers hogging all the posts - chattering away about rubbish as usual - hope you've been keeping an eye out for Fred and kept him BUMPed up to the top while I've been out!!!!

    Now, what's this about Brighton - yees, I can vouch for the stoney beach - it is pebbles, pebbles and more pebbles. The pier is very good though - should be fun to be had by all on there. And we could do some window shopping in the Lanes - lovely curio & antique shops along with hippy type ones so we might be able to find some suitable clothing there actually - shall be makeit a '70's theme :j :j please - that's my era - midi's maxi's all mixed up - head banging - flowers in our long flowing hair - oops I'm getting caried away - now look what you have done :D

    I'm off now to check on Fred ......................

    Did you ever get round to letting him out of the wardrobe, Solvent?

    Ahhhhh... I knew there was something I'd forgotten to do, Nargle, oops:o:o:o

    Well 3Dogs.. what do you expect trollzappers to do except chatter about rubbish - but don't worry, Fred has been very well looked after in your absence.;)

    '70s theme sounds great - would fit in well with Brighton - going to dit out my maxi skirt and platform sandals - that'll do nicely:D:D

    ....Store cupboard challenge anyone? Memememememememememeeee :j....I keep getting £3 off a £12 spend till spits....
    Half your luck in a way, as I only ever seem to get the 20 points on a box of haemorrhoid cream :angry:..then again..:think:..stony beach & not enough deck-chairs...
    Handcuffs and pink fluffy handcuffs - gee, thanks guys!
    Now attention please, you lot, someone mentioned Brighton, and there's a lot to sort out. Deckchairs, icecreams, LfV's man in a skirt, and don't forget the sore bottom cream - that beach is supposed to be full of stones!
    Finding a man in a skirt will be a doddle in Brighton--far more likely than a deck-chair--& if you wave those fluffy handcuffs around, they'll find YOU :rotfl:Have to check when Gay Pride is on cuz the cozzies are supposed to be spectacular & I'm not sure if FatBoy Slim might be doing a gig on the sea-front...

    After the generous offer to put us up for Glasgow, I feel tis my turn to reciprocate. There's plenty of shelters along the sea-front & of course under the Pier...oh & the grounds of the Pavilion if you want a bit more 'class'. Now the nights are less cool, we could pretend we're back in the scouts & guides & have a camp! Fire..marshmallows.. ants..worms..rain..snoring..nah! Faggeddit! Forget I ever mentioned--please!!!!

    Like the sound of Liverpool for a jaunt, especially if the Beatles Garden thing is still there & don't forget we've got Urg's wedding this month too. Where do you suggest SF, as you've been to a couple of matrimonial celebrations recently?

    It would seem that I may have avoided opening the BigMumma Bank today--shop's are shut now are they not & there's nothing I desperately need to buy on-line, but shall confirm later. Have a good evening Peeps :hello:
