- where were you??? At least you had your knicks on

Carrying a couple of boxes for #2 son 'cos he moved into a new apartment today.  Was walking from the parking bay to the main foyer bit and I could feel them slipping slowly down (forgot my belt - thought my belly would suffice).

They slid down to my hips! 

Son was, and still is, mortified.

Embarrassed tart!

I thought it was trendy ......................Adam does it all the time.

More importantly - were they pretty knicks ?

I rather hope my @rse looked a bit 'less is more' than full moon 

Yep, pretties on (thank god!); soft oyster colour.

Cosmo  Getting down with the kids.

My nephew insists on wearing his trousers halfway down his arse   My mum still doesn't understand and is forever pulling them up on him when she's walking behind him.

its hissing down here again today   I hate wet shopping days 

sat waiting for my matalan delivery, i blame you lot for my internet shopping! 1/2 price sale - could not resist

Mt birdies are up  They look nice 

My sister has just come off the phone to say "don't phone me tonight. I'll be in bed early" she's going to the Next sale tomorrow and has set her alarm for 3.30am  

Now that's dedication

Either that or insanity  She's doesn't even have money. She'll stick it all on her credit card and spend the next month doing overtime to pay it off. It would never occur to her to save in advance 

I don't understand why people go nuts over the Next sale

Me neither. It's too chaotic for me. I like things in size and colour order  

Halfords Autocentre lambda sensor = £129

KwikFit = £87

Like i sed - don't go to Halfords AutoCentre

oh yes, when a shop looks like a jumble sale I just dont even bother going in I don't like most TK Maxx for that reason too, though the one near my mam is set out really well and is really nice. There is one in South Kensington and I'm sure you could get some great bargains if you had the patience but the disarray was making me twitchy

My neighbour does it every sale.  She always used to ask me if I wanted to go 

Saz you're a girl after my own heart.  That's exactly how I feel about the Next sale and TK Maxx.

I've just had a bag of Che-he-heese and Onion Ringos.  

Man they are go-ooo-ooood.

I've got Ringo's in the cupboard. I had a craving but went of it. They're mine though. Kids aren't allowed in my cupboard 

I bought my cat a new scratching post yesterday and sprayed it with catnip. She's the happiest cat in the world. She keeps scratching it then coming up to me for a kiss. Even after a whole day. It's her way of saying thanks 

Cheese & Onion or Salt & Vinegar.

The latter give me the food sweats 

Why can't men just go to a shop and straight back??  I had the dinner almost ready and asked the OH to go to the shop and get beans (buttery mash, beans and sausages) and an hour later he comes back   The eldest and I have eaten just the spuds and sausages and he dares give me the evils coz his sausages are now black coz I left them in the oven out of badness by accident.

Both. They were on special offer. Not even opened. 

*Cases Cagneys house* 

I am the cheese and onion theif

Mr C bought me a lovely little handbag, but it's shit for packing your stuff in for a night out.

Powder, blusher, lipgloss and cigs (if you smoke) are the only things I take out when I'm taking a wee bag.  I use the inside zip part for my money so no need for a purse.

If I take a proper handbag I go overboard with the amount of crap I take out.

Oh and a comb.....for all the backcombing

The Newcastle TK Maxx is awful But Primark at the Metro Centre tends to be quite tidy and well laid out

Maybe he'll be quicker next time! What took him an hour?! 

My handbag on a night out consists of..money in the back zip pocket, phone...and that's it. 

I've just spent 20 mins untangling my speaker wires - I do find it very therapeutic TBH,I love untangling necklaces and stuff that's got knotted up.

I've got enough here to keep you occupied for weeks Soozy. I end up binning them. 

Oooh no - I get a paper clip and a flat surface (mirror or something) and I'm in my element. It's very strange TBH as I'm very impatient with other stuff and don't spend time on it. 

They "borrow" my stuff and by the time I raid their rooms to get it back I'm already annoyed so when I find it in a tangled mess I lose the head and bin it  Not my good jewellery.  That's locked away where teenage fingers can't EVER reach it. You have far more patience than me Soozy 

Visiting his Mammy   

Bloody big Mammy's boy.

Oh no, I never take anything that isn't expendable.  I don't know how many times my friends have lost keys, phones, credit cards etc.  I just leave them all at home and I don't have to worry too much about losing my bag.  Which I have never done anyway.

Touch wood!

I don't go out much at all the last few years but when I do it's the basics in the bag. I've never been one to worry about my hair and make up on a night out. Normally I have a bobble round my wrist to scoop my hair back once it starts annoying me. 

I'm watching T in the Park and so glad I didn't go this year. Rain doesn't bother me but THAT much rain and mud....hell no 

Does anyone else watch 'A Short History of Everything Else'?  

I've just learned that Gary Linekar crapped himself during Englands 1990 world cup opening game against Ireland.
