M&S Hurricane Lamp

[Robinia]

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!

Hello everybody been to works dinner at lunch time when everybody who is working can go and have a free dinner. 2 sittings. Management waiting on everybody. Then a bit of entertainment. They did Deal or No Deal today with prizes instead of cash and I won a bottle of a Baileys lookalike - Sainsburys Taste The difference. And last night I won the first round of the quiz the quiz master said I had won a packet of crackers which turned out to be cream crackers and a block of Cheddar cheese. LOL. and a friend gave me a voucher for Sunday lunch for 2 at the local pub. I have now got one more prezzie to buy then I'm done thank goodness. Goin to put my tree up tomorrow. That's about all for now going to watch a bit of telly now see you all tomorrow :o) x

got all my cards done and sent... that's two for family and three for friends... well of course I have lots more family and friends but we haven't been on speaking terms these last 30 years. Anyway, now I can go and buy a couple of presents. Well, not right now... too many rockers out on the streets...
that you, Jude?

[shaneystar2]

Ha Ha ...well done Jude ..I don't know about you Jno but I think the rellies in Oz will get their cards for Easter at the rate I am going !
It's the queues ....the Post Office is packed with people sending Ebay parcels. They don't seem to be interested in old girls who only want a penny black or halfpenny blue.

[Robinia]

morning all....wild weather again....but the good news is there are flowers on the winter honeysuckle (smell is amazing). Whenever it flowers before xmas it's not a severe/long winter...never let me down yet. I won't bother asking Vinny to make me a

chariot

well done Jude I wish all my presents were bought....I wish I knew what to buy, that would be a start....and I could do with muscles like Popeye instead of the Olive Oyl that I am....oh & a bottomless purse. Looks like the Poundshop again...lol

cards are done, but why when there are only two different designs in the box do I dither about which one to send?....sigh

Morning everyone Lol with Robinia and Vinny today. You make my days with your humour. I am relaxing today as I'm going out tonight for a meal with 3 of my friends who I have known since I was born it seems, we meet up most years for a chat. That's not quite me Jno I am more casual than that, wide leg trousers and a top usually from Next or Per Una and I have a selection of different coloured jackets to match in suede or leather. I only wear skirts in the Summer. And definitely not today as it is cold and blustery and Weeing down at the mo.

this could be me with grey hair
And I'm not as good looking lol

[Robinia]

btw, it's Charlie's birthday today....!

mmm, I see he's been to the Biddycombe dog training classes.....

[DaSwede]

Hi all, just popping by to send you this optical illusion that you may have already seen - it's been around for a couple of years. Anyways, just follow the instructions and you'll see - ...Vinny?!

Whoa, Netti, that cat of yours looks like a real mean machine!

Jude, have you considered making a living doing those competitions? There are people who do! (Or maybe that's just a myth.)

jno, your family situation sorta reminds me of my own as far as family goes - but do try to stay on speaking terms with your friends now! Reading your post reminded me of what happened a couple of days ago at an internetcafe. I was watching a video clip showing a French performer doing a 'living statue' kind of thing. I could feel somebody standing behind me looking over my shoulder, and suddenly this black man comes forward and says in broken English, about the performer on the screen:

You know him...? He's a friend of mine. He's a total ***hole.

Oh well... Shaney, did you see my nephew's dog that I posted here the other day for Shaney and Charlie? Charlie doesn't want her, so... (He's - and I qoute - a wimp.)

Off to run some errands now, I'll (probably) drop by a little later again.

[DaSwede]

Oh Charlie...! I'm devastated! Calling you a wimp on your boithday and everything! Robinia's post wasn't there when I started writing.

Cake is on its way:

[Robinia]

hahaha lol Kit!! in these winds it might not make the target .....hope shaney doesn't get to it first.

love the statue story.....erm, are you sure that's what you were watching??.....

!!!!!

[VINNY100_2]

~~~~~~~~Happy~~~~~ Birthday~~~~ Charlie~~~~~~~~~~

[netibiza]

Happy Birthday to Charlie, be careful that Vinny will be after yer beer!!!

Have decided to keep my charlie cat after all, he's so loving I couldn't get rid of him ahhhhhh

[netibiza]

here you are Charlie

[Robinia]

charlie says thanks....don't know what that singing dog was saying to him but he's just shredded me slippers....

[DaSwede]

Jaysus/Vinny, that's embarrassing...! I realized that somebody must have already posted it at some time - but not that it would be you...! It was actually in an ad in a newspaper over here about five years ago, and ever since then I've reactivated it in one form or another every Christmas. Hate your dog, by the way. No, I don't - but isn't he spooky, though - for once I'm able to listen, and what's on in Biddyland: An eerie pooch who seems to have swallowed a baby, by the sound of it.

Robinia, I swear, I was only
