I have the tummy for the purple one :eek:

Cheap n cheerful will do me....

I've inadvertently joined the Nat Trust 3 mths earlier than I wanted to...I thought it would let me choose what date I wanted membership from... :mad:

Ah well, more days out in winter, then, to get my moneys worth

I think they are all pretty much the same price, but haven't been in primark and that's probably the cheapest, I battered mine down to a tenner, most I have seen are around 16ish.

It's quite funny....i'm chucking myself at loads of threads going "get a onesie"....who'da thought it....of course i'm only about a year behind most other people.

That's like me with my smart phone...only about 2 or 3 years behind everyone else...can't shurrup about it! :rotfl:

Trying to work out my annual budget and what will aim to save etc...am already £40 odd down due to NT debacle :rotfl:

Got mine from Primark. They have a good selection. Reasonable prices too. Best things invented. Bought grandson a camoflage one for Xmas and he loves it.

Onesies are great, but if u are a lady, as I am, you will find that just as you are nice and comfie, you will need to spend a penny, and then it has to come off from the neck to the crotch, and usually in the coolest room in the house!

How do you cope with that!

BTW hope all had a good and peaceful time at Christmas.

Yes, the Will was something I got sorted straight away after my dad died as there was going to be some inheritance coming my way, and when you have a family that is fractured as mine is, it was important to me that I have things very definitely in place to go where and to whom I wanted to stop any arguments etc.

Especially being single it needed sorting, plus mine was from years ago and an ex would have got it rather than my family and friends.

Back door is wide open as too hot now.


The fluffy fleecy ones are made of that stuff that soft toys are made of (don't know what the material is actually called)...and you can get them in Asda and various other places. Asda had one in bright purple.....kinda reminded me of the purple telly-tubby....?!?
Also primark will have them I would imagine..and probably loads of other places too I just haven't really looked before.

Paulineb will possibly know.


Ice-cream at the ready.

My mum got my fleecy one from peacocks, think it was a tenner.

Another Far Flung Friend, who rang me yesterday, to whom I only admitted the depth of my loneliness and sadness a few weeks ago, has sent me an extra card with a cheque in it to enable me to book a train ticket down to hers in the springtime. :A

LB, That’s great news, true friends always come through most unexpectedly.

I’ve just caught up with the thread having been a bit off colour for a couple of days. It’s nice to see so many positive things coming through.

I received a calendar in the post today with lots of those inspiring little quotes in it and thought I would share some that struck a chord with me

“Change is a process, not an event”
“Don’t follow your dreams – Chase them”
“We don’t know how strong we are until being strong is the only choice we have”

Like others I have been doing a bit of forward planning today, doing some research on the meetup groups and other activities going on in my area that I fancy getting involved in.

I will be setting myself some (short and long term) goals for the year, but at the moment I’m focussing more on good habits just because I have been wavering off the OS way of late.

In fact started today working through some of the stuff that seems to get overlooked in the fridge so rather than waste it I focussed on the tub of mascarpone – I did have pasta in tomato and mascarpone sauce the other day but a singleton can’t get through a whole tub that way – aint the internet wonderful – I found a recipe for mascarpone ice cream and if that weren’t calorific enough I thought I would ripple in the half jar of hm lemon curd also lurking in the fridge – LB/Calicocat I’m aware how partial you both are of ice cream – if I could get some to you I would - cause although not set yet it's delish .

Where do you get fluffy fleecy onesies?

I've switched my heating off anyway, is positively tropical today, or that may just be my internal combustion... :eek:

My exercise plan will be more along the lines of long walks and beach walks. Far too much "real exercise" in your plan, Paulineb :eek:

Glad you mentioned wills, Calicocat, mine needs changing completely. The sooner the better...not that I'm expecting to be going anywhere anytime soon, but one never knows...

Definitely will help you plan your garden etc, in exchange for an ice cream and a lounge in the sun. I'm very very good at delegating the grot jobs..:rotfl:

Anyone know where I've put my pen....?

Im afraid theres too much real exercise in my plan as I can eat like a six foot 3 builder.

No joke.

Why hasn't anyone invented one with a velcro opening in the relevant place....??

I love the idea of being camouflaged :T

I dont actually find it too bothersome when I need a wee.

Having been in the same position as LavenderBees this Christmas, I'm going to stick this on the fridge on a post it note. It's so positive. Thanks.
