    Oh my goodness :eek: not a chance :rotfl::rotfl: I saw this advertised in my local rag weeks ago. I was a big roller skater in the 80s:D and wasn't bad at it. I was a regular at the roller rink. Still have my skates.......so I just had to:o :rotfl::rotfl:

    It was so much fun :rotfl::rotfl: I'll be black and blue tomorrow but I had an ace time. I dusted my groovy 80s skates off and went for it. Everyone was wearing elbow and knee pads and helmets :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: there was only natural padding in my day :o

    but I did have a great time.......my DS looked after the kids so I could go :A:A:A and it's an eight week thing and I can't wait to go back next week:D

    Bring back roller rinks :T:T
    So you didnt take the kids so they could enjoy mummy falling over?

    Just throwing this one out there for discussion...............
    So, the new CC exchange is coming up. They have no areas I am interested in, but they do have clothing.
    So could one just exchange for clothing, but some expensive items, then return them for a gift card??? Wrong, right, impossible, discuss.

    They can be funny about it whilst the exchange is still on and say they will only let you exchange rather than refund

    In which case you should exchange for something of slightly higher value and pay the difference in cash. Then if that turns out to be equally unsuitable you can return it for a cash refund using your cash receipt ;)

    tut.....of course not :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    seriously, this was totally selfish, indulgent ME time. I honestly have not had that much fun or nostalgia in a very very long time......it made me really happy :)

    I have never had that, I must just be lucky. They always say that as I don't have a receipt they will have to put it on a giftcard....I always sigh and say ' oh well, that's ok ':D

    I had it when I returned some 4p socks (that were back up to £6 :money:)

    But only in one store, the other stores were fine

    I used to be able to ice skate and recently took some students around ice rinks in London.

    There's barely half a dozen in Greater London compared with about 20 in Scotland.

    Turns out I'm rubbish now, I can barely stand up on the ice and I move like a robot with rickets. (Mind you that's how I dance as well!:D)
