SLIPPERS...??? good grief - haven't worn them since i was ten!!!

much prefer "skinny footing"

Ditto, horrible sweaty things, however I may review my opinion when I get to your age Jim

When people get lost in thought it's often because it's unfamiliar territory.

Messy, too.

It's mainly the sandals with socks that annoys me. They look silly. I thought the whole reason for sandals was to get air into your feet? So wearing socks with them defeats the object. LOL

What is a dap then? and do you need to shag your sister to own one

You mean stick your feet in a sheep?

Apparently "hands" - as in:

"Oi's got cold puddies 'n' moi zizter don't loike 'em up'er"

...so to speak.

Jim, I dislike the the word dap too, it's such a silly word!

But then plimsoll isn't much better.

that all depends where you come from... if you're in a primary school in the cotswolds, then daps are cool...

yeah, now you've given me the context Jim, 'puddies' are hands, but not an expression I've ever used... I had an ex who always referred to them as 'donnies' ...run that one past the mrs!!

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

Settling down with a Stroud boy, I have learnt to use the word "daps", I wear my daps to go shopping, he leaves his daps in the middle of the lounge, if I misbehave I will get a good dapping........ see I have even learnt to use it in context!

I am having Wiltshire panic right now, it's the week before, the week before Christmas. Last year I moved house on the 20th December and Christmas was a hap hazzard affair, this year I have dyed my grey roots early in preparation for the "big day".......... and just realised the thing I knew by the 21st of December last year but have been putting off thinking about............. the box of cake tins that Granny left me didn't somehow move with me........so here I am at twenty past midnight trying to work out where , oh where can I buy a decent 24 cm cake tin from for my Chrimbly Cake....... and where oh where can I buy edible glitter from??? See if I was still in the old country I would know where to get these items from instantly, ......

I guess tomorrow I need to don my daps and pound the streets of Wiltshire and hunt these little things down.......... all so that in 12 days time the kids can pick out the cherries and leave the rest, the beloved can pick off the icing and marzipan and just eat the cake, and I can chow down to my hearts content knowing that I can start the diet in January!

P-C

Ah.........I am having to venture in an hunt 'em down aren't I? I DID venture in last week for my first Christmas Shop............and recieved my FIRST PARKING TICKET!!!!!

I even thought it was a christmas card tied to my handle bars for some reason! Ah well......... the beloved has paid my fine for Christmas!!!

I will venure in....maybe on Friday, there is apparently (thankyou google) and confectioners and sugar craft store in Farringdon road so that should be handy........as I also have to pop into Holmes for some goodies to hide under the tree!!!
