Has anyone bought one of these ?
Could you please tell me the size of it? I don't know why they don't state it! I have mailed M&S but they haven't replied yet.
Or has anyone seen the same thing elsewhere? Thanks!

Hurtles through the door backed by a ten force gale !
Gosh it was windy here last night and it's still blowing hard .
There's a huge tree down in the churchyard .It's too windy to hang my bloomers out ..they'll probably end up draped over Robinias telegraph pole .
Shaney is fine now ,thank you Neti ..but he doesn't like this wind up his tail !!
Have made a start on my cards ...and feel very virtuous !!

Hello everybody well I've almost done. Two more pressies to buy and that's it. Went into Derby today and was determined to do as much as possible and did. Hope you are all ok. My hand is on the mend now and I can leave the dressing off so that the air will heal it up, well that's what the doc says. Going to a Jewelery party tonight. Not into parties like that really but my friend asked me to go with her. You never know I might pick up a bargain. See you all later no doubt, bye for now :o)
Hi everyone, just wanted to post a playmate for Charlie and Shaney-the-dog: My nephew's Staffordshire terrier Nikki (Nikita.) I asked his permission, he said ok but don't tell where we live... Ok Charlie? Ok Shaney? No stalking, you hear?

She hasn't quite learned how to turn the fan on yet, but she has taught my nephew to turn it on for her when she places herself in front of it like that! He's her third and last owner. She had been through a hard time with previous owners, but she's a very happy dog now.
I've been catching up on what you've written and I even made notes, but of course I didn't bring them with me. Let's see if I can remember anything.
Oh yes, I remember Robinia's lovely rose - is that your garden?
And I remember my reindeer Ipod of course, jno - now why don't they sell'em up here? Don't worry about the discount voucher, I'm still sipping on that Campari! By the way, what exhibition did you see in Paris, and have you been to Holbein yet (that was mentioned in an earlier thread)?
And I remember Vinny calling me kip. I really liked the ring of that, but thought I'd better look it up just to make sure... I found that it's a name alright, albeit male, but I also found this definition:
Kip: A gymnastic exercise performed starting from a position with the legs over the upper body and moving to an erect position by arching the back and swinging the legs out and down while forcing the chest upright.
Vinny, I'm doing it even as we speak. Can't think how you knew.
(Back a little later.)

evening ladies....was it busy in town Jude? I've not been for ages, it just looks like a nightmare with all the building going on....
hi Kit, lovely doggy but she looks a bit tough for Charlie, he's a wimp! I do hope you don't spend too long translating many of our strange words & terms...I'm probably the worst, I tend to write as I speak (I do it to confuse Vinny)
you should have a word with neti about making notes....she just might keep up with us that way.
I've done a handful of cards just to keep up with mrs scrubbit
where's windy of woolacombe again today?
aha, looks like he's the biddycombe xmas postie

Ha ha Neti yes that's what I thought! By the way, I'm confused, who's George? The cat? (Surely not your husband, then I've really put my foot in it - I always read in such a hurry. and then just when I'm about to start writing, I'm logged off, and then I forget the conclusions I made... Sorry.)
Jude, what's a quiz? I thought I knew what it was, but you're always going to them, so maybe I'm wrong. I'm thinking Jeopardy, if you folks have that tv show? But you wouldn't be doing that kind of quiz every week... (unless you're the hostess!)
Brian, who's Brian? I told you we are not alone:
http://i16.tinypic.com/4bdup8p.jpg[/IMG]
Seems like I'm your quiz hostess for tonight... (But I'll soon be logging off now.) Hope you are all as well as can be expected (don't you just love it when people say that!)

A comb-over...? Yes that's irresistable for man and beast alike, Robinina.

ha, Kit, never heard that meaning of Kip before and somehow I can't quite see Vinny having that on his mind. No, the more common use of the word is to mean sleep, or to have a nap, and that, I imagine, was what he was thinking...
Still haven't been to see Holbein, and now I've got to go Christmas shopping in every spare moment, but I hope to try tomorrow. In Paris this was the one I saw:
http://www.rmn.fr/disney/
Rather unusual and you're never going to see anything like it in Britain; but I liked it a lot and brought the catalogue back, despite my shaky comprehension of French... I can always look at the pictures.
As for quizzes, can't speak for Jude of course but they regularly hold them in pubs and clubs - sort of like Trivial Pursuit, and I'm guessing that is the sort Jude goes to
Incidentally, Jude, I do hope you don't do any more damage to your hand playing air guitar...
Right, tired of sitting at my desk at work all night, I'm going to stroll down to Sainsbury's, weather permitting, and look for a sandwich.

Hi all just got back from Tai Chi having learnt a few more moves. Kit the quiz I go to is a bit like blockbuster, There are balloons in rows across the sheet with numbers in and the quizmaster shouts a number and the anwer to the question if you know it goes in the balloon with that number on. When you have got a full line from side to side you could have possibly won if all your answers are right. The questions can be on any subject under the sun, but tend to be general knowledge. Not too difficult. It's a fun quiz and you could win a bag of brussels sprouts or Sunday Lunch for 2 which is what I won. Hope that's clear LOL.
