    Evening all :)

    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: :o:o:o

    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'......... :o

    Oh my cheeks are burning just thinking about it :o:o:o

    :rotfl: I see your earlier point now, how did she react?!

    I was pulling and tugging and pulling and tugging... eventually my flump treat was out and scoffed! {Savvybuyer 12:04:14}

    Oh my word!:eek::eek: (I'm glad I included the word 'treat' there now - or it could have been taken even more out of context:rotfl:)

    I prefer HP for my sauce personally:rotfl:.

    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?...

    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 :o
