    Crikey, no. I already supply the facilities manager with biscuits and flattery just to maintain normal service, receipt of that lot would cost me far too much in favours!

    Oh dear Lula! :rotfl: :rotfl: You do indeed need Jeeves - I'll send him over - he's tending to my washing up :D Where did you find the other fella??

    No reason not to wear fabulous boots to any occasion! :T :T I remember when we were teenagers, there was a credit card advert (very bad, I know), but there was a woman staring through the window of a shoe shop at these fabulous boots, and went and bought them on her new credit card... she said "'buy me', they whispered" - so now all fabulous boots round here are known as 'buy me they whispered boots' :D (don't have any thigh high ones myself though - must rectify! :p) Do have a rather fabulous pair of bright red platform boots though - barely go anywhere because I can't do anything other than walk from taxi to sofa in them, and rarely get a taxi :rotfl:

    Oooh - boats :):):) I used to live on one (although probably not of the style and opulence you're talking about - this was a 50ft narrowboat at the end of someone's garden outside Stoke, but I *loved* it...) Tooooo jealous to even think about it, going to turn away and stick fingers in ears
