    Absolutely no clothes bargains to be had :( tho I did use a 50p till spit for gluten free bread, as a weekend treat, and 150g of kettle chips for £1, also as a weekend treat.

    Other than that - omigod, here's my photobucket linkie ....http://s1238.photobucket.com/albums/ff486/CaseyGreenPath/Not%20so%20much%20of%20a%20rebel/

  • Hurrah for weekend treats! Love the photos too - I really wanted to do ballet as a child, but did gymnastics instead - which I also loved, and horseriding, which I loved more, hence when it came to a decision to do one or the other (they use totally different muscle groups, and one was interfering with the other) I chose the horses. Sometimes now when my knees and hips creak and groan, I wish I hadn't! :rotfl:

    I was dragged to ballet when I was about 3 years old - my feet were so flat I couldn't really walk properly, and apart from a little rebellion age 12 or so, I stayed till I was 19.

    Ellidee - how interesting! We might be - I have lots of relatives here and there! Where are you?
