    Much nicer than the only poem I can ever remember!!!

    This is the only poetry I know off by heart...

    There’s a famous seaside place called Blackpool,
    That’s noted for fresh air and fun,
    And Mr and Mrs Ramsbottom
    Went there with young Albert, their son.

    A grand little lad was young Albert,
    All dressed in his best; quite a swell
    With a stick with an ‘orse’s ‘ead ‘andle,
    The finest that Woolworth’s could sell...
    .

    Oh, too many happy memories remembering this:D My granddad used to recite this, with me on his knee, changing the names of the parents and the little lad to my mum and dad's names and my name:D:D:D

    What's the media gossip, btw? We need to know:D

    excellent, I did look in my little Superdrug but they didn't stock them - were they next to the racks of travel minis or on the normal shelves?

    great stocking fillers and for weekends away bags or if you are making up pamper baskets (dunelm mill have them in the sale)

    I've got another Superdrug to try tomorrow, fingers crossed

    Yes by the racks of travel minis in my store. Hope you find some tomorrow. :)

    Might be worth checking online that the offer is still showing before you buy them though, as last glitch like that they took offer off I was unlucky and it was finished by time I found them.

    Had to laugh at ds2 tonight and DD 1 oh they where on the same lorry today and did a 12 hour shift and they said the driver who is supposed to help had a back ache so did not get out of the lorry . they goes we were really annoyed we were doing 3 people's work between us but he did make it up to us. I asked how. Apparently he brought them both an ice cream at criccieth and it had a flake in.:rotfl: they are both so cheap.

    Ds3 also made us smile I told him he needs to o make an effort to make friends at college he came home today . said he looked around the room and their was one girl on her own who in his words was as awkward and shy as him so he went and talked to her . and they got on really well. so at least he has made one friend x
