    I hate doing grocery shopping so that would just make it worthwhile for the laugh :D

    I know it's still :eek::eek::rotfl::eek: in my head! Part of the :eek: was the way he nonchalantly tucked the offending article back in without a care in the world. I won't be buying any of the ice creams dangled over any time soon.

    Apparently it's fairly common for people to go out in their dressing gowns and night attire. Now I will do a run to the bin, after having checked my dressing gown is zipped all the way to the neck and made sure the coast is clear :rotfl:However, my bin is at the back of the house so I'm unlikely to be seen by anyone except the badgers and Colin.

    :rotfl:Having to stifle laughter here in case I wake DS... :rotfl:There's me feeling guilty if (working from home) I make a work related phone call in my dressing gown... Have you ever seen any of the People of Walmart? Clearly the influence has spread. :eek:

    I've never seen that before, horrific! :rotfl:
    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: That was hilarious, I can just imagine the look on your face !

    Cant compete there, the worst I have seen was a family all shopping in their onesies with Fugg Boots and their dressing gowns over the top, Mum, Dad and Child. I thought that was bad enough for a Saturday afternoon, but your encounter tops that by far !

    Poor Piq ! xx

    Even dad in a onesie? I can't imagine my dad ever wearing one! :rotfl:

    There is a lot to the Captain, the man in question would have slunk away feeling very inferior. Or maybe run away at a large horse in the supermarket ice cream aisle.....

    I have realised that due to the show stopping antics of a strange man in the supermarket I haven't got all my grocery shopping meaning I'm going to have to do a second run at it after work tonight :eek: Heaven knows what I'll find down the cleaning aisle.

    I worked last night, it was a late one and this morning I'm very tired still. I did try to have a lie-in but my feline friend was having none of it. It was past breakfast time and he was starving! Talking of Colin - he now happily comes in the cat flap, uses his litter tray then goes straight back out! Thanks for that Colin! I thought the idea was that he did his cat business outside somewhere meaning I didn't have aromas and cat litter through the house.

    On the list for today is cost comparison as the RAC bill has just come through, I'd forgotten about it :o and although it is pretty much the same as last year, there might be a better deal out there. I'll also have to tackle a bit of the ironing, I'll need an ironed top for work tonight and one for tomorrow's double shift too.

    Forwards....

    Brilliant - I do love seeing what people think is appropriate attire for shopping late at night but that would've had me in hysterics seeing that.

    Try moving litter tray out the back near the door.
