They're rebranded as car boot sales and table top sales now....

Jumble is too 1960s/1970s .... and conjures up images of dusty halls and smelly piles of old elasticated waist skirts.

We have a Jumble sale in our village hall twice a year. It is run by stalwarts. The punters start queuing from about 9.o.clock. It never opens until 1pm. Some bring white vans and try to take your jumble from you as you deliver it into the hall. There is obviously a circuit as the shoppers all know each other - and quite a few look alike.

There is usually a table which holds sets of curtains - often lovely long interlined drapes from "their London House" - that I covet.

Clothes are hung on hangers and rails which people sweep up indiscriminantly. When it is too frantic the stall holders just assess the load and name a price. I can't bear to help out as I want there to be bit more order to it.

I need to go to that jumble sale spirit! Next time tell me, we can go along and rifle through interlined curtains together.

As normal the other train passengers are playing a game of "who can leave their bag on the seat next to them the longest chicken". I don't know why they bother...

I've decided that next time I want a fag and the LL's in I'll just go out and have one.... won't announce it. Won't say anything... I'll just go. Suspense of not knowing what I'm doing will be too much and she'll ask.... and I'll just say it non-chalantly.... "Oh, just popped out into the really expensive surroundings to drag on a fag by the gutter..... probably knocked at least £400k off next door that's for sale....."

Well, elect an epidural, a pain relief option. I am electing to have brain/spine fluid drained through my spine. Its the same place, but a different thing.

I do know some people can get up and drive themselves straight home (consultant told me) but they will purposefully be draining my brain of its cusioning fluid that it likes swimming about in.

Sorry if I upset you. Yes, I realised that you would be having CSF drained. My point is that these procedures often seem worse in advance than they turn out to be. Having a local in my tongue, a bit cut out, and stitches - I almost had to be dragged in for the procedure. In practice, the surgeon knew what he was doing, and it was all a tenth as bad as I had imagined.

Well DW and DS both loved the paralympics today and were impressed by the venues!

Wish I could have gone.:(
