1/ it hasn't got any store labels on it as they cut them off, but yes, all i want is a pair in the correct size. oh has agreed to go on saturday and try and get them exchanged, credit card online trx clearly says it's house of fraser and has the post code of the store on it so hopefully will work. will of course fall over if they don't have one in the right size.

2/ food - british, french or italian i think. i'm probably just going to take them to zizzis or some carp like that. i would normally go to smiths in that area, but i think it's a bit too noisy for them in there.

they should be reasonable, you could ring HOF and ask, it will only take a few minutes.

well if i lose 1.5 inches off my waist then the other two pairs won't fit me, so i don't think that's very MSE.

Posh alert!!

What's this 1.5 inches. Normal trousers go up 2 inches at a time.

Is this common knowledge, or did I miss something?

I thought everybody had a big house here (except me).

I have a tent... otherwise I am living back with my parents. And before that I was sharing a studio flat in a not great place on the outskirts of London with at least a 90 minute commute each way to/from work.

Now I don't have a commute, but I also don't have a job! :eek:

Yeah, I definitely felt that in my last job! Having a bit of a wobble tonight. It's my birthday in a couple of weeks (a 'big' one, and my mum was asking what I want to do to celebrate. I didn't plan on being back here, with no job, no friends, no partner etc etc. I told her I might just stay in bed all day and hide or go out on my own! We might have to come to a compromise and just celebrate the Bank Hol instead

i think they're just badly made or something, rather than the wrong label being put on a pair that are the size down.

I had a look - they made it impossible to understand the full layout I found .... even though I went to their website and was looking at the floorplans.

Maybe I need to stand on my head and look again.

The idea of the parking with garden over's interesting.... obviously only suitable for those houses with rear access....

I'd hate that "cooking up in the roof" malarky.

A few years ago LNE and I lived in a house with the main living space and kitchen on the first floor. We got used to it fairly quickly, apart from the nuisance of having to carry all the shopping upstairs when we brought it in. And our house had more than one loo - so one on the top (ie 2nd) floor and one on the ground floor. I wouldn't like to live somewhere where either the living room or kitchen was on the 2nd floor and the only loo was on the ground floor, which is what those Chimney Pot Park ones seem to have. It would be especially difficult with a toddler. :eek:

Oh nikkster.

I really hated approaching my thirtieth. I felt grim, and although different circumstances i was back home too. I reckon its an increasing situation in 'our' generation.

There is actually no need to make a duss, some of the nice people wished me happy birthday and we kept it low key...as we tend to tbh. Bank holidays on the other hand, they are worth celebrating.

But i thik you have stuff to be happy about, you made a big adult decision before a big birthday and that has made the world your oyster again.

If i don't remember at the weekend please know right now i am wishing you the best year yet in your life.

I love duck. It might be my favourite meat.

The cat with the less asventurous palate found a polo tonight and after playing with it licked it, recoiled in jorror, then licked it again. This went on till she decided she loved it. I have had to hide all the polos we bought for special girl (we have been neglecting the stretching my ridden horses normally get but have reinstated to help her atm, its amazing how less flexible she is and a polo helps her feel like making the effort to do the things we are asking her to do.
