Forgot to say, they all have little monkeys (well, apes if you're going to be pedantic), and they each have a name, all named after someone that works for Kipling, so you do get some odd names - actually based in Belgium (handbags and chocolates, must visit sometime), but a worldwide company. Julie monkeys so far in a teal green colour (more green than blue) and pink. Hey ho. They do have my name on though, so no bellyaching about whose bag it is.
Used to be a pockets person then dropped two sprogs (separately, not twins!). Can't get all of that gubbins in your pockets, however hard you try!
Well, I've had a good laugh reading this lot. Just dropped in from my caravan hol. I'll admit I thought that MOB rants would be a victim of the multiplication of chat threads on this forum, but it seems there is life in it yet!
MMP, I have rather a lot of handbags (!) but I haven't had a Kipling bag and you make them sound rather attractive! Thank I'll have to give them a go! I do think you are quite heroic tackling those brambles. You never cease to amaze me!
As for the rest of this rather wicked conversation, I'm deeply shocked! Obviously, I haven't lived!
Cilmeri-if you go to bottom right hand corner of message it'll come up 'quote' in a little blue window. Click and then when you're about to start your message, click on the quote marks at right end of your message toolbar and it'll transfer them to the start of your own message. Hope that makes sense!
MMP-I used to carry spare pants around in my pocket-(for the kids potty training not for me...honest!) and one day I needed a hanky when I was in a cafe with youngest daughter and thought I'd found one in my pocket but it was a pair of pants...at least they were clean!
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
"Deeply shocked"? "Haven't lived"? where is it you live?? "ah yes, Bridgend" where a young innocent Northern Lad was inducted into Welsh ways by dark haired fiery eyed Bridgend girls. Oh how I suffered and escaped by the skin of my teeth, only to discover the Hampshire girls were not much safer. Sometimes you are better off in a foxhole.
Boots, made around a 100 mile round trip to buy some. I am just so fed up with the rubbish that is available today, I don't think until yesterday in recent years I have bought any footwear which has lasted over 3 months with regular use. Everything seems to be cheap glued together rubbish.
I was lucky enough yesterday to track down a pair of para boots unfortunately in need of resoleing but worth doing, it will probably cost more than the boots did to get the job done right. But I probably will still have them in years to come. Happy with them strong and comfortable, but why is it so hard to buy quality these days.
and why couldnt i get this in the right thread the first time
thanks to everybody who has signed monsanto worries me.
I think it might be that, to get the quality of that kind of boot, one would have to pay a heck of a lot today. I live near one of those retail outlets where posh things are cheaper, and I paid $48 there for a decent pair of everyday walking shoes. And I don't mean hiking boots. I'm a cheapskate. I was just desperate for something solid enough.

Small rant,
