AnonyMouse_1999 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Must have passed you in the doorway! Had a lovely chat with Mundia but then it was time for Mr Mundia's cocoa so we bid each other goodnight. I stayed awhile all alone, by myself with no one with me got a bit creepy after a while, did a bit of tidying up (getting rid of the biscuits crumbs, washing coffee cups etc) Left the door open but no-one came so I packed up my troubles in my old kit bag, turned off the lights and left. Sorry to have missed you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_73 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 me too, sadly us early birds just cant keep up with you night owls. Thankyou for clearing up the biscuit crumbs Gezabel, I was in the middle of doing that when Anne and Beth popped in. I do hope those night owls didn't make to much mess!

AnonyMouse_1999 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I do hope this is some kind of retail therapy on your part? You know me too well!! spot on! for the last couple of weeks I have been paid in cash as there was a problem with the payers bank so I have dutifully gone to the bank to pay it in. Mr Gezabel drops me outside the bank and goes to park and then walks back to meet me. On our route back to the car we happen to go past a very (well very, very, very,.....) nice shop. I normally only window shop and dream as the prices are pretty steep but they have a huge sale on Last week it was a top in the window that pulled me in but I didn't just stop at buying the top This week it was shoes and I didn't stop at just the shoes :rolleyes: but all is well and Mr Geazabel is very happy that my method of payment is back to normal from now on and I won't be getting paid in cash so won't need to go to the bank. Do I feel guily ... errr no! Mr Gezabel is worse than I will ever be. It was him who found a 'beautiful beautiful evening dress' reduced, reduced and reduced again, it was him who suggested me trying it on .. it was him... it was him... :wacko: Note to self: must check when sale ends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_1999 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 You havent spent money, you've saved money. Now you wont need to spend it on expensive things Couldn't agree more trouble is if my lovely Mum was here I know what her view would be: "Yes it's very nice and you saved money but you could have saved more by not buying it at all" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_3139 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 But then you wouldnt have pretties hanging in the wardrobe. My mom's favourite three phrases are 'I nearly bought...' 'I wish I'd bought...' 'I took it back' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_3735 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 My mums used to be 'I wish I had....' she often had regrets about not buying something or not being able to.. we were always looking and buying bargains and doing with the minimum.. ( she always regretted not having a pistachio Ice cream when we were in Venice.. simple not very costly but a missed event held with great regret for many years.. ) so now for me its If I like it and can afford it then buy.. I don't want to have the same regrets she had.. and it is quiet around here.. can tell it is holiday time and a break is needed before getting ready for next term..

AnonyMouse_3139 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Cait lives in the Lake District so its always wet. I saw a Welsh comedian on TV last night who said he was 8 before he knew you could take a kagoul off. I think the Lake District's something like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_3735 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 pity we are not away this year..you would love it down here... small quiet village, close to the beach (if not the sea it is a really huge tide here) warm, and lots to do locally.. the pier is brilliant now its been rebuilt , and the steam fair is in town.. maybe that is the reason we don't need to go away.. it all comes to us.. and we can get out and about and sleep in own beds.. best of both worlds.. I do love living in the West Country... washout today though!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_13453 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Ah, the back garden. No, it doesn't always rain - but it wouldn't be the Lake District if it didn't rain a bit eh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_13453 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I assume, dear girl, that it's so quiet because everyone HAS gone to Rome already - I've no passport so it ruled me out, if you remember, but as far as I know, they were off for the first few weeks of the summer hols.
