I have been parked in the lingerie dept of M&S.

Woman stuff is going on

I cannot emphasise enough the importance of a good fitting bra

The free chocolates as a thank you for choosing M&S were a bonus

Well, quiet here today.

Son on way back from Skiiing, missus off on a hen doo.

Off out shortly to get supplies for my daughter's History project. They have to make a WW1 trench, so were off out to make a chocolate cake and buy marzipan, matchmakers chocolate, Cadburys fingers, and some plastic soldiers !

The missus is off on her niece's hen do - 29 women going. Go-carting this afternoon, then a meal and clubbing in Chester tonight (my niece's University Town).

The chief bridesmaid has booked a local hotel, except it's a hotel with some nasty chalets at the rear (looks like Pontins) but what do you expect for £35 a night each. I said 'good luck' - you wouldn't catch me in them, they looked terrible. I don't suppose 29 women would be allowed in the Doubletree Hilton.

Reminds me to find out what's being booked for my brother's stag do in Budapest - better be decent - we've only got a handful of us going, so should be easier to find somewhere, and we are all mid 30's plus !!

If you're on a stag do and you're concerned about the accommodation beyond 'It's not the gutter, or a lamppost in Inverness', you're doing it wrong!

I spy their evil plan. You eat the chocolates, gain weight and need a new bra! Or eat the chocolates, feel guilty, go on a diet, and need a new bra. Cunning, they are...

We stayed in a right hole in Edinburgh. We could have a conversation through the walls they were so thin. My mate's singing in the shower was so bad, we told him to shut up without shouting ! . It was an absolute pit. The 'reception' was a little hole in the wall. Not great when the couple next door were getting fruity. What sort of bloke takes a girl to a skanky hotel link that (OK it may not have been a girlfriend).

I'm getting too old for crap hotels. My brother-in-law's doo, we went to the Marriot in Gateshead - that was more like it.

Unlike you, some people on here have actually seen me on a bike...

To be fair, I've seen both of you on a bike. In fact @potsy was proper cycling

Buy the Airfix kit and add to it.

We've been through the ww1 trench thing, certain breakfast cereals make good sandbags

How big was the one you made?

Certain materials, folded loosely, with a row of stiches every so often, to pull the material in, works well.

Leaves the chocolate fingers free for "other purposes".

Made from a big shoebox, complete with barbed wire, trench boards, ladders etc. Wasn't the best as some parents spent more time than us, even down to making rats out of plasticine lol

I once made Mount Damovand out of chicken wire and papier-mâché which was good fun

This one is edible - I like how you say 'some parents spent more time' - this is what happens. I made my son's 'volcano' !!

Some nice big buns out in Cantebury this morning...

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Washing machine packed up last week. New one turned up today. I asked our lass if she looked at the dimensions of the new machine as it is a very tight space where it goes. Nope she hadn't. Had to take a cupboard door off to get it in, but it is now in. I've told her under pain of death it isn't coming back out!

I've got nothing to do today, I wonder when I'll be finished.

It can be surprisingly easy to be busy doing nothing, just ask @User14044.
