*giggles* DP are you alright? The shoe picture caption as classic. And her shoes still look tight, I doubt if she would be able to walk in those.

You have a hectic...very hectic life 7os.

nyze :)

Annie Mouse said...

i am going to stay at 70's place next week if you pay me enough DP i will burn them while i am there....if truth be told its my fault they ever happened. she was just about the walk out of the charity shop she was to buy them in when i said, "have you seen these". then 50 minutes waiting for her to get her head out of the boxes they were in. so i guess it is up to me to get into the house and burn them.

Annie Mouse said...

i have a great idea 70's you get the wool i will knit them and them you can send them as they are done onto DP. i think the waistcoat one but not in blue but in mustard, i think he likes that colour best.

then the mustard leggings child outfit but in a adult size it would be better than them boiler suits he seems to like wearing.

Annie Mouse said...

sorry did i say all that out loud..oh well never mind.

Annie M ~ all matches etc will be hidden during your visit and a trip is arranged to 'the shop' where all magical patterns can be found......

Annie Mouse said...

DP- help me she is taking me back to the pattern shop to buy more, what should i do.

just coz i don't smoke anymore, doesn't mean that i haven't got a spare lighter hanging around.

oh yer are you taking the MP4 player back, coz it....hang on what is the words....won't work its faulty.lol:)

70steen said...

hee hee Annie... DP can't help you as he doesn't travel Norff of the M25...

The MP3/4 is fine it has served me well on my travels so you are spared the QVC shop for returns ... however! I may need to see what bargains they have [E L]
