    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I had nearly put 'used tights won't sell' then thought yes they will :o :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    You get more for worn slippers though :eek:_pale_. Tilly and I were thinking of going into business, raiding all the old folks homes :rotfl:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    I'm back For good, this time, as Take That once said.

    It's the best thing EVER! :j :T No more worrying about running out of data on my dongle. I LOVE it! Thanks :money: for the super special Sky codes you had last month! :kisses3:

    As for you, Dedicated, this means that I have here to nag you about your gutters more frequently. Silver linings and all that! :D

    Anyway, it's time for bed. Nanight!

    Glad you're back PB. Looking forward to many more words of wisdom such as the above :rotfl:.

    empty and re-pack work bag - why is it so heavy ?


    This made me :rotfl: Mine is also ludicrously heavy, tis an enormous rucksack and never seems to have *that* much in but weighs a ton! I bought it second hand and reckon someone sewed weights into the lining :rotfl: :rotfl:

    (in reality it's just lunch + laptop + cable + paper + change in purse + hairbrush +++++++ ) :D

    I too have more than one underwear drawer :o except here they're baskets :D One for bras, one for knickers, one for small socks, one for big socks, one for tights, one for hankies (does that count??), one for nightwear, two for flouncy stuff :D

    Of course they're never that organised and stuff is always getting thrown in the wrong one, risking inappropriate dressing in many occasions :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Hey Cheery :)

    Yes what is it with work bags? I mean, everything in there is *essential* and it is heavy! The bag itself whilst not weighty is not the lightest bag i have (which is just thin material) i *would* change this bag over now but kinda want to use it to death before changing it ;) It can't be sold on as some stitching is coming undone and can't be repaired and the internal zip thing broke - still it was a cheap bag, i've probably had my moneys worth out of it already but will persevere until its really not practical / useful as i can't bear to be wasteful :o

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:- re. potential inappropriate underwear :) With my 2 drawers i found 1 top that had migrated and should have been hung up in the wardrobe - glad its been rescued now :D And in all those items just a solitary odd sock - i suspect the other is in my Mr's drawer :cool:

    I did select 5 pairs of new tights to try and sell - i'll be happy to keep them but do need the pennies :cool:
