It's been a lovely day today. I took the kids to the beach, then to the dreaded arcades (dirty money *shudder*)
DS2 struck again in style today :eek: he embarrassed me so much Im still cringing. I think my nan used to say 'Im black affronted'
In the arcade a woman came and stood next to us, I wasn't paying much attention to her but he obviously was!! I'd say she was probably early 50s and was wearing an impossibly short dress :eek: I won't lie, it was a bit scary looking :rotfl:
DS2 calmly said to her 'Excuse me, don't you think you should be wearing some trousers with that top' :eek:


OMG, I was mortified! All I could do was apologise profusely whilst dragging him away. Of course he didn't shut up then, as usual. He was saying 'I was only saying' 'It is a bit short' and 'she's wearing it as a dress and it's a top'.........
Oh my cheeks are burning just thinking about it
:o:o
:rotfl: I see your earlier point now, how did she react?!

For future reference do any of you know of a good cheap printer that takes cheap ink?
don't know much about the latest products, haven't bought a new printer in years - got a few from freecycle;
currently using HP and started to use a refill kit - so far happy with it;
I think there has been recently a discussion on ink and printers - jelly's posts?...0 -
Oh that note, and with a new (Tvs A) list of possible items, goodbye!!:D:D See you later:)

Well someone asked me earlier if she was Scottish (the scots tend to descend on Blackpool in the holidays) and I said I didn't know as she was speechless and didn't say a word
