Bag of 'stuff' in bin 31/365.

Six ebay parcels to post, 37/365.
Some old moisturising cream chucked out 38/365.

Flipping cold out there :eek:. Wish I was going to live somewhere warm. Oh wait, I am .

Pair of walking shoes and pair of walking sandals ordered via MSE link, great prices but I probably need 1/2 size bigger in boots and 1/2 size smaller or bigger in sandals (2 sizes in stock so ordered both) . We'll see when they arrive.

Hi GG - sorry, late to the forthcoming retirement party. I just wanted to add to the other best wishes and I hope the ME is all and more then you want it to be. I am thinking of changing my "title" to something beginning with GG in the vein hope that these lucky initials may help in my retirement planning, between you and Goldie Girl I hopw some of your luck rubs off, and I can retire early too.:D


I hope you enjoy your pre-retirement in Spain. Spring in Spain is my favourite time of year. We are still tied to the school holidays, but May/June and Sept are lovely. :T

:rotfl::rotfl: I hadn't thought of that - it's certainly a coincidence that the most recent retirees on this board have a similar name!

DK when I'm going to get there

Bag for CS 39/365
3 bags of stuff binned 42/365
1 ebay sale ready to go 43/365

10 items listed on ebay, total of 22 up there at present, now used all free listings (hope there's another free 100 at the weekend as I ignored the last one ).

Off to that London place tomorrow so better charge iRene, though won't get free wifi on train as big HST's (going at peak rather than offpeak )

Will probably send details to Lulabelle and she'll buy it instead

I am going to buy it and release it into the wild

2 more ebay sales 45/365.

London was cold :eek:. I think I saw the comedian Rich Hall (and he is performing in London so could well have been him) but he was wrapped up well so not sure .

I'm rubbish at celebrity-spotting much to Mr MWC's despair - I don't recognise anyone!

A few of us at work have a bit of a joke going about it so we get random text messages - but I usually have to look up and see who they are on about. Jarvis Cocker on the tube reading The Guardian was my best spot

I was walking over London Bridge one day and saw the Queen leaving a do, little red carpet over the pavement to get to her car and everything :eek:

Under my rules you don't win. They have to be recognisable enough for you to....well, recognise them . And be able to name them with one google search (e.g. I know he was in Dr Who, what was his name, a search on all actors aged between 18 - 30 is not allowed). Then you text someone and they have to have heard of the person, even if they don't know who they are. A very fine line - but you lose - a possible Rich Hall scores higher than HRH. Unless of course you thought it was that Jeanette woman that used to impersonate her, and only found it later it was HRH. You'd probably score quite highly for that :rotfl:.
