Going back to late last night's jean topic, why can't you get jeans like this anymore:

They used to be so comfy and looked great with a baggy T tucked in!!!

Better than the unflattering low cut look that shelves the belly.

For the times when you get too tied up in the consumer madness that it Xmas and the kids are getting way too excited for their own good (and our patience) I thought I'd share this story that my Dad just emailed to me


‘Gold Wrapping Paper'

The story goes that some time ago a mother punished her five year old daughter for wasting a roll of expensive gold wrapping paper.. Money was tight and she became even more upset when the child used the gold paper to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree.
Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift box to her mother the next morning and then said, 'This is for you, Momma.'
The mother was embarrassed by her earlier over reaction, but her anger flared again when she opened the box and found it was empty. She spoke to her daughter in a harsh manner.
'Don't you know, young lady, when you give someone a present there's supposed to be something inside the package?'
She had tears in her eyes and said, 'Oh, Momma, it's not empty! I blew kisses into it until it was full.'
The mother was crushed. She fell on her knees and put her arms around her little girl, and she begged her forgiveness for her thoughtless anger.
An accident took the life of the child only a short time later, and it is told that the mother kept that gold box by her bed for all the years of her life.
Whenever she was discouraged or faced difficult problems she would open the box and take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.

In a very real sense, each of us, as human beings, have been given a Golden box filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, family and friends... There is no more precious possession anyone could hold. :A

afternoon everyone.

no 1p items for me today heroes scanned at £3, no mingles or koko. All the washing liquids / tabs were either full price or not there. Oep went through 3for2 only.
On a positive note I did get another cupcake mix for the kids to attempt - for £1 you can't go wrong and two of the Indian 100 piece deli party Packs tor £1.99.
As a veggie I am so pleased to have found the Indian selection, thank you to the OP
