    Lots of saftey pins.
    A hair tie
    a kirby grip,
    two washers,
    a fairy light bulb
    two odd earings
    A locker token
    And one on those air cap thingies from car tyres!
    One day, I AM going to be out of debt. I'm just not sure when.

  • lol, don't say i didnt warn you...............
    This is my fight/sprout story..... it twas just before Xmas eve.....


    lol, well, my mates mrs wanted to go to Tesco's and do the big Xmas/New Year shop, and as Phil (my mate) was in work he asked me to go with her to make sure she was ok in the mad rush. (She's quite petite, and i'm not......)

    It wasn't THAT bad when we got there, but it WAS really busy, food was getting put back on the shelves as quick as it was being emptied... (I actually saw one woman with 20 loaves of bread...) Sharon (mates mrs) picked up the last pack of sprouts and put them in her trolley and wandered off to pick up something else, as I looked back at the trolley this woman picked the sprouts OUT of Sharons trolley and put them in hers! Sharon saw this and protested at the woman to put them back, (she wasnt aggressive or abusive at all) the woman said "Well, here's my husband, argue with him then" and this oik turned up and started to get all shouty at poor Sharon and all finger pointy and way too agressive, so I stepped in and told this idiot that they could wait for the next batch of sprouts. (His face when he saw he saw me mooching over was quite funny....) He tried to get physical (I really didnt want a fight over sprouts for christs sake) and I ended up having to grapple him out of the store with the store security as he went totally nuts, screaming obsenities and threats. box2.gif Over sprouts. :confused:

    LMAO. sprout rage.

    Happy new year everyone. hope you all had a good night, mine was o.k-ish, the kids ended up going to their mates, so i spent it with an ex-husband and 3 cats in the end!!! i hope sammy snail didn't get to lonely on his own.
