    Hello, don't know how many times I got soaked today so now just want to get my jammies on and veg. BTW Asda are do yummy raspberry mushrooms that taste nearly as good as M&S Percy Pigs - how MSE is that! although not really helping the diet...
    Felt bad about spending a tenner on a splurge today but Toto - you've made me feel much better....not going anywhere near grabbit board though!
    It is that fine rain today as well, really gets under the skin. But at least its warm today.

    Everyone needs a splurge sometimes, i enjoy days like that..we need more of them.:o

    Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:

    What are M&S Percy pigs...have I missed out on something yummy?

    maybe they've stopped doing them but DS used to love them - sort of fruity, chewy things - yum!

    Fine rain? warm? nooooo - f eck in freezin, and HUGE, splashy, torrential rain here! southern softies, you don't know how lucky you are!:p

    The splurges used to be far more frequent and costly so I suppose a tenner every few months isn't too bad.:D

    Why it's just a tad moist, tha knows........:rotfl:

    i agree on the tenner, i rarely spend on myself..but feel better after a little bit of retail therapy, even if it is £4.50 on some nice trainers at Asda.
    :D

    someone at work recently advised me to buy MBT trainers for £150! (have sore knee). £4.50 is more likely!

    Evening all:hello:

    Just got back in from The Metro Centre armed with our Orange Wednesday cinema tickets to see Indiana Jones and the temple of the crystal skull. I really enjoyed it and the boys seemed to enjoy it too.

    I had a hugh portion of Natcho's with cheese dip and jalopeno peppers :D

    Came home to watch Britains got talent, but it must be having an off day as tonights acts are rubbish!!
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    I spent a fortune once on trainers like that, ended up with skin off the back of my heel and at the sides. These are very comfortable, and as a fellow knee sufferer can reccomend the comfort of them.
