    Also partner/rymans or wilkos - do you have wilkos up there beanie? I have some sharpies in jolly colours and mine were quite cheap from wilkos.

    Evening guys :j :j

    Sharpies are very good felt tip pens, permanent markers, fine 'nib' - we used them to mark our balls - golf balls that is :D:D We used to have loads of them - what about WH Smith's Beanie?

    Aesop - sometimes, people need others to be blunt with them, insead of !!!!!-footing about, skirting the real issue - so I'm sure she appreciated it

    Kit, I used to burn my paperwork when we had a real fire, after that I used a shredder - mine broke so I must admit to tearing things up so must get another shredder again :o

    Glad you are feeling a bit better Tixy

    Mr 3dogs did his car boot this morning and did quite well :j I didn't go down with him after all - I stayed in bed :o:o typical of me :o

    After we had some lunch, we had a run over to another auction nearer Peterborough which we haen't been to for a long time to have a look round. Then went shopping for our groceries, and some for our neighbour, at Sainsb's, Lid£ and Tatco. Still got to go to Lid£ in moring for the 99p minced beef offer and a haggis (thanks to Steve for letting me know about that one) and then to A$da for cheese for my neighbour - I introduced her to a lovely extra mature creamy cheese we got before Christmas on BOGOF from there, but can't find it anywhere else - if it's still on BOGOF, I'll get one for us and one for her
