I agree with pigpen Valli, if they fit, buy both:T
Dusty hugs and positive vibes
Pigpen, I would take a plug in cold box full of food and including milk, I like full fat:beer:
my kitchen looks brilliant except for the floor, but I choose those tiles so they don't show the dirt :rotfl:
the floors in this house are all turning into frogs.
You can see your face in my cooker hood though, who said I was procastinating :cool:Sue

Inline roller skates~~ which are the best ones / type/ what should you look for when buying them, do any of your kids have a pair / how did they get on with them/ what is the upper age for them?? and are they good exercise / or just something to clutter the garage up?
Can't offer much advice apart from there is no upper age, there are loads of adults go around on them for fitnes and fun.MFW 2025 No. 7 £1931.07/£2700

Pigpen, I would take a plug in cold box full of food and including milk, I like full fat:beer:
I am cheeky enough to take my stuff in a cool bag and put it in the fridge/freezer there.. I have no qualms about that.
she gets skimmed milk for herself.. and full fat for OH.. and I hate FF it leaves a greasy slick on the top of your tea.. I get SS at home.. so I could take my own milk too... just to REALLY annoy them lol..
She does buy me skips though..I do appreciate it!

Evening ladies,
I've left my list at work, so it isn't meant to be
I am exhausted. I haven't had any tea yet. I do this when I'm home alone - forget to eat proper food. Anyway the oven is on, and I will bung a jacket spud or summat in it and eat it watching tv. I've got some tuna mayo, but it just looks a bit like cat sick, so i usually like to hide it in a sandwich. Sorry if that's TMI
Have had a quiet day at work, but I managed to sort out a load of voluntary work stuff on the QT
The prison can no longer accommodate us on a Friday morning, so we have got to change days. This means I may have to change my day off from Friday. Hmm decisions.
Valli - I would get both. Wear the navy ones now - summery - gorgeous with white, and put the black ones away for winter. Jobs a goodun. I saw some nice shoes in that shop on Friday but I didn't get them as I want more fitfl0ps instead. Is there money off all of their shoes? May have to re-assess or beg DH.
Dusty - sorry to hear your news. Hugs for the little ones too who are poorly.
I'm off to get some grub, and watch tv. DH is out at an all you can eat Indian buffet. Life just isn't fair.....
