    I was thinking why is he bothered what he will look like!

    Back on form Mr B, and waxing lyrical. Love it.

    Spent the day burning off serious calories by doing a total reconfiguration of the ground floor, furniture that hasn't been moved in the five years we've been here was uprooted and relocated - end result being the lounge looks massive (it ain't) and the kitchen is looking very cool indeed. Mrs B's cross-trainer has been relocated to the shed again but this time thanks to another session of shed tetris she can actually use it in there and we can wave to her from the kitchen.

    Amazingly I have reached this point of the month without putting a single penny on any of my credit cards which is unheard of. Squired some serious cardboard this morning from Tesco - used the old cardboard dinosaur excuse again to the bemused shelf stacker, and only as I was walking out the store did I realise I'd forgotten to embroider the story with the fact that it was for my daughter. So somewhere today there has been a Tesco employee pondering why a man in his late thirties would want to make a cardboard dinosaur.

    I hear it's trending on Twitter :rotfl:

    For me it was the 'pondering T*esco employee'- certainly in this neck of the woods, not a lot of 'pondering' goes on ;)

    You could go for a fairly basic one:

    Or a bit more advanced:

    But do keep us updated :rotfl:

    Loved the short story, very similar in style to 'Dirk Gently and the Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams.
    Maybe you are the man to provide us with the 'Two campers and the dog with a pegbag on its head' story this Christmas.
