    I can beat that - we were off on holiday one year, and at the airport (Heathrow or Gatwick, can't recall which) we bumped into my OH's old next door neighbour - from Kenya!

    I met up with one of my teacher's once ON HOLIDAY ABROAD!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Small World!;)

    Hello everyone.

    Had the most surreal experience today.

    Thanks to Rooted Nomad for the kick in the @ rse.

    Went to Dwell in Balham to use coupon, got the mini money box, love it, all shiny :)

    If the lady in the black and red jacket, and the smart dressed lady in the black skirt are mse hello :)

    Staff very polite in giving away free stock...

    On way back, given i'm a good 7 miles from home, who do I bump into ? my next door neighbor :)

    What are the odds ?
    I bumped into the landlord of my local whilst on a trip to NewYork :eek:

    Oh well, time to walk the dog and brave the bats :eek:
    My OH usually does the last walk but he's been working away in Stroud so I've had the pleasure for the past 3 weeks!
    Walking past the farm I wondered why this bird kept swooping so low over my head until I realised it was a bat....and had a few friends with him too.....it's like Scooby Doo :D

    Back in a min!
    My husband says he will leave me if I don't stop shopping......... God I will miss that man.

    Not worried about shoes, but bags - now that is entirely another thing, like to stock up when we are abroad! And they have to be leather, and an unusual colour, though I did get a black camel skin one when we were in Egypt. I also like collecting different gemstones when we are away, but that is a little pricier.

    Oooooh Rubies, I lurve rubies, my birthstone, and yes bags MUST be leather :D


    Oh and diamonds of course, goes without saying :)

    What are the odds??

    You're having a BLONDE MOMENT.

    You are right!! (And I am blonde :D)

    We went to Florida a few years ago and on the flight, we were sat next to a couple who we found out were on the same flights as us to a quite unknown island south of China the year before! While in Florida, we met a girl I went to school with, someone from the same village as me and a lad DH used to work with!
