    We used to talk on the bus or train. Remember when you went on a journey? How much fun was had staring out the window! People no longer do this. Everyone is constantly looking at their phone, on facefook or suchlike.

    I was trying to get on a Bus last week (in Oxford) and the lad in front of me was trying to use his Card on the ticket machine, and nothing was happening. The poor driver was trying to tell him "not to worry, the machine card reader is broken" but the lad couldn't hear him due to his earphones.............of course yours truely came to the rescue and yanked one of them out of his ear, so we could all get on with our lives (and out of the rain)...

    I need both margarine and butter. I am a bit funny about it all really.

    I put butter on toast, but the toast must be cold and the butter must have come out of the fridge, I don't like it at room temperature. If I must have it on hot toast, I cut the toast up into small squares and put butter on them immediately before eating, so the butter doesn't melt before I eat it. So basically I'm a bit weird.

    I put clover on everything else, and I can't stand butter on sandwiches.

    Just the butter/margerine thing, or you're a bit funny about everything generally?;)

    No idea which bit of Brum, she lives in Northfield :eek: so definitely not there :rotfl:

    She'd want the dress in a shop in Brum as the wedding will be there. And she's losing a lot of weight (properly) so will need to be nearby to adjustments.

    I will be buying champagne :D I need it

    Near where I work...:)
    I won't be there though. Not saturdays...
    Northfield is kinda its own town to the south of the city, so you'll be catching a bus or train to Northfield if you disembark in New Street.

    PM me if you need details.
    PS northfield ain't the, erm nicest of areas...

    On the bag thing, I always have a bag. Mine last for years. Current one was a birthday present 2 years ago - still going strong.

    Perhaps you ladies mishandle them?:)

    Congrats pn! Have you got somewhere to go now?
    No!!! I've nothing ready ..... and just 3 days to get up and get out .....

    2 more nights of furniture, then nowhere to sleep even!! And no time to organise stuff - and I thought I could stay at a B&B over the road but she's told me she's had an unexpected booking and is already overbooked and now needs to find somewhere to put the people who booked in online this morning .... and it's .... alllll .... going ...... in a panic in my mind.

    So - I am back here ... relaxing. I'm sure tomorrow, having slept (at least 10 minutes), things will be clearer in my mind.

    So .... I might be off on the big road trip this weekend..... so unsure..... so panicky ... soooooooooo OMG OMG....

    I wanted a whole week, so I could organise stuff... but when they gave the dates I didn't want to hinder the flow.... so I just rolled over and said "yes, OK".... and now it's done.

    OMG .... OMG ..... OMG ...... O ... M .... G.

    It might be a chip night :)
