    Great wombles! Jealous of the trainers Jo, although I'm only kidding myself that I'd actually wear a pair :rotfl:

    15 eggs from the girls yesterday, which is more like it...a dozen sold to DH's work colleague for £2 and 30p claimed for the spares...

    No roadkill for ages now though :(

    I'm the same as I haven't worn trainers for years, and never thought I'd see that day again, but here we are :rotfl:. On the plus side, they're not white, so more than happy to wear them :);)
