    ....And another thing, when the lights turn green, why not just drive instead of waiting for the car in front to be a bus length away before taking the hand break off?

    Ziggy, these people are usually texting or applying make up or shaving, I've even seen someone cleaning their teeth whilst driving.

    Thats true John, we were coming down the M5 from Bristol, the car in front was weaving about across the lanes, we thought he was pissed. When we passed him, he was reading a book at 70mph :dh:

    I can sympathise there Jazmine, you frolicking freak you.

    I broke my capped tooth while doing a boiled sweet & being out of my face in Ibiza. There was mild panic until I found a mirror & discovered I had a really cool pirate type gold post underneath.

    :heehee: at you Ziggy! This cap is a temporary cap and is [or was] an ugly metal looking thing. In it's place appears to be hardly anything, no post so I think that will all happen on Thursday. I can't wait. :@

    I try to" frolic" you know, we have to have a sense of humour or we would cry.

    Hahaha Clara, good question! It was a low cal vege curry and I was enjoying it too. The dentist did say as I was leaving "these sometimes fall off" Oh, really?? :help:

    Will let you know what happens Thursday.

    WHAT A GREAT DAY OUT !!!!!!

    I had given my wife cash for her xmas,( running out of idea's what to buy) so she could buy what she wanted in the sales,(bad idea). she asked me to go shopping with her. it was a damp/wet day with the pavements like a skating rink. after we had been in 4 shops (no purchases) incidentally according to my wife,the 4 shops had nothing.we entered our 5th shop she went over to the rails picked off a dress and said"thats a lovely dress i will try it on". she comes out of the cubicle with the dress on ,and asks the question "do i look fat in this". if i answered this question truthfully she would have shoved the dress down my throat!.cowardly dog me said "no dear but i think the pattern is a wee bit too busy!!.
    after leaving the 5th shop, (no purchases) we where passing a tea room, i suggested a cup of tea to warm us up(to be honest i was drooling at a gentleman eating pie and beans in the cafe). we entered the cafe i selected a tray and a couple of plates/cutlery ,laid them on the self service tray, then the wife (after looking at her watch) decided(it was a bit too early to eat ,we could do a bit more shopping then get something to eat:frown: .after another couple of shops she picked off the rail a winter heather tweed costume,"thats nice,i will try it on". by this time i was switched to my totally couldn't care less mode.
    she came out the cubicle asked the question "how do i look in this" i just could not resist and said,
    "if you can get a hat to match and a cane you will look like, Miss MARPLES:help:.

    i never got my pie and beans and she is going shopping on wednesday with the girls. thank god:thumbsup:

    Imelda Marcos got another bag and shoes:heehee:

      Oh Dear Music, what can I say? Us women have to go into a LOT of shops then invariably return to buy an item seen in the first shop visited. :heehee:
      You did well to last that long. I don't like taking OH along as he stands looking so bored then yawns while I am talking to him - when I ask him if he likes "it" he always says "yes, it's OK" nothing more, nothing less. If he holds the bags he swings them back and forth which annoys me intensely so I tend to go shopping on my own!!! With his card of course :rolleyespink:

        Cruelty,yes! And after that first day back, it'll seem like you haven't had a holiday.
