oops just remembered that I once left a shop with some size 5-6 barbie knickers hanging on the back of my coat. Didn't realise until about 5 shops later, so they became an xmas pressie for a friends little girl...Comment

Thanks for the reminder Two Sheds. DD found 2 books yesterday when clearing out her room. I've just gone online and they are listed under her name, but they don't show what the cost will be. I think I'll plead that we've been honest in returning them as they haven't sent any reminders. Maybe they'll let us off.I could not live without a garden, it is my place to unwind and recover, to marvel at the power of all growing things, even weeds!

I think we would have the poliece on the doorstep. If any of our books go over we get reminders and then red reminders and then a hefty fine and then a bill for the book, so it just is'nt worth forgetting to bring your book back.
And when your back stops aching,
And your hands begin to harden.
You will find yourself a partner,
In the glory of the garden.

We usually get a reminder once it is a 2 weeks late, can't think what happened this time. They did close a refurbish, perhaps that's what made them lose track. Least she pays less as child that if I'd had then out

In around 2002 at a works Christmas meal in a posh restaurant in St James' I fell in love with the metal sculptured ashtray on the table. My boss, after a few glasses of wine and port suggested I 'stick it up my jumper'. Me, after a few glasses of wine and port decide to obey him.... he is my boss afterall. Lovely it was, pride of place in my kitchen (where I smoked). Three weeks later we got receipt sent to the office, it says Six starters £ ***, Six Mains £**** Four bottles of wine £****, Six glasses of Port £***** One Ashtray £12 (Twelve Pounds !!). They knew alright. How embarrassing, I bet it happened all the time.Comment
