I find myself the owner of a "Kag in a Bag", retailed from Millets for what strikes me as a slightly extortionate £12.99, reduced from an alarmingly obscene £22.99. I bought it tonight under extreme pressure from my father, who is convinced that storms will brew at the weekend. It's pretty neat, but I do wonder if it would have made it to a fiver deprived of the designer label. At any rate, Millets had the monopoly, as I didn't know where else to search for the garment and only 15 minutes until the train. Hopefully it will protect my most vulnerable areas from the harshness of the precipition.

Seriously though, ?12.99! blink.gif

Heehee, I used to love those. When I was about 7, and my sister was 4 I used to tease her, and tell her that you got little prizes in those blue packets. And I'd say "Look! I've won! I can't believe it! I've won" and she'd say "What have you won? You lucky thing!" and I'd say "I'm not showing you, it says on the packet, you can't show anyone.

I have a party piece.

It's the In the Night Garden theme tune.

Has to be on flute. Not under any circumstances must it be played on a clarinet.

Because that wouldn't be acceptable, would it, sbhoa? laugh.gif

Yes! And I swear Makka Pakka has OCD and is encouraging it. Why does he wash his rocks so many times? He has to wash each one, then dry each one, then polish each one, or something like that wacko.gif

Once, I had to share a car with her, her mum and one of her school friends, from Cambridge to Newbury, in Berkshire.
