    Thanks for the cornflakes Aesop, I've done my shopping bag today:

    Aesop - Sausages
    Andy - Mince
    Steve - Jam
    Beanie - Milk Chocolate Bar
    Froogs - Bathroom Cleaner

    Hope everyone is well today. Mr 3Dogs is down at the car boot year finishing off the massive stall he has been building over the last couple of weeks. It covers the storage units, the gaps inbetween, and the frontage down to the walkway, for his stall and out friend's stall next door, and other stallholders and the market manageer have all been amazed at how good it is. He had built it from scaffolding bars clipped properly together, instead of angle bar, so it is much more solid and weather proof. He is covering the top with sheeting - part of it permanently and the rest can be pulled over when needed, so they will still get the sun in summer but will be protected in the worst weather too. Our friend who runs the next stall has paid for all the materials and Mr 3Dogs has done all the work, and she is delighted with it

    Oh & forgot to say that rightly or wrongly the hunt is on for a pair of short hunters at a reasonable price.
    Ive had cheap wellies in the past and they dont do my feet or walking any favours.
    Let the hunt begin!

    3Dogs, Mr 3Dogs is very handy with his hands, isn't he! :beer: do you think the other traders may hire him to build them one too?
  • Sorry about horrid lady at work. Well done in making it home and on all your shopping bargains. I have run out of fruit and am eating frozen things. Will go shopping at the weekend though with Steve and Andy so i think i can cope for a bit.

    Blooming cold in the house.
