  • Morning, enjoy the presentwrappingathon. Additional sustenance required for post 'athon' session.

    Maybe if any of the 21 December B2L clearing party have dropped bottles off you could try one of those. I quite fancy Radish's BF Advocat, cherry brandy wih a twist (can't remember 3rd ingredient) :rotfl:

    I'd have the music on by now, I can imagine that would bring great joy to DS early on a Saturday morning :D

    Well done GG - I think Mrs E is going to start wrapping ours on Tuesday. Not a task I relish, I'm a bit of an OCD wrapping perfectionist!

    Have fun :)

    Done. 3 more things to get (none, if Mr GG reads his texts) plus stocking fillers :D.

    Not adding up what I've spent :eek:.

  • GG I think you have the same principles about Crocs as I do about the abomanable, aledged footwear known as Uggs... certainly makes people walk like a Neanderthal with caved in ankles.

    Must say I agree MRN. My DD slops around in those boots and you see kids everywhere and I want to shout "pick your feet up".
    Crocs are ok for the beach/pool and theatre (surgical not musical) but apart from that, shouldnt be allowed.

    Saying that, suppose same as any fashion, I too wore white stilettos in the 80's.

    My DD has a pair :cool:. I may have tried them on and thought wow they're comfy and warm :o. It's only the price that put me off ;).

    Missed this yesterday I think, so:

    Good for nipping out to the chicken run at the bottom of the garden as well... apart from when it's a bit boggy and the croc gets left behind... :doh::doh::doh:
