General Chat

Years ago I had a Friend In the Clothing (Wholesale) Trade. its amazing how much rubbish is made specifically for the" So Called Sales"Its just a con to get more profit and get people to think they,re getting a bargain. :-S

Some years ago, I worked for D****hams, as the Catering Secretary.
Come sales time, you should have seen the rails and rails of absolute carp that came into the store. It was just an excuse to empty their warehouse.

I hate shopping at the best of times, so usually steer clear of the sales! It used to be a 'big thing' and not start until January, but now it's just the same old same old. I do need some new bedding, so might venture into town next week!!

Island Thanks for bringing this mattter to my attention I hadn't thought of all our unsung hero's who work over the Christmas period Also our troops that haven't even seen their famlies May god keep them all safe and return them to us safe and well

if you're gonna do a boogie make sure they're black ;-) :-D :-D

Larfing my socks off guys - thanks! Just as well, as we're entertaining this evening and I now need to go and squeeze into my fat-hugging tights! :-S

Your wish has been granted Wend :-D

An oldie but always worth another look.......and again :-0 :-D

Don't get sick of Sales because i don't go to them, anytime of the year.

I've never seen complaints about the poor emergency services staff not being able to spend christmas with their families :-S

or those who work in the entertainment industry - somebody has to get the tv programmes to us, rubbish or no rubbish :-0
Then there's the trip to the panto on boxing day.

Loads of people work over bank holidays so what's so different about shop staff?

Sent Wend, look in your in box....lol

I don't know about the sales - never go. What I am getting cheesed off with is all the e-mails I'm getting from the same companies that were pressurising me to buy stuff before Christmas, now trying to get rid of it all at half price or whatever.

Could someone send me a funny e-mail. My in-box is very boring!! :-( ;-) :-D

When I read you had bought a bikini I thought what you have just said about the milder weather we've had this year, but it still made me shivvvver

We did, my mum loves having loads round her and funny enough my daughter loves a housefull, I do actually ...later on we all got ready and went out had a great night .

I am back at work tomorrow and weather permitting may have a wonder t' bottom of t'hill lololol

Thats another thing the weather has been milder this year so it seems so busy,

Good for you and I bet you all had a lovely get together which is what it's all about

I must say the stuff I got was bargins, 2 long evening dresses shoes for work shoes for him ,a binkini which was just over a fiver.
