When staying home during my wife's Indianapolis holidays, I make sure I don't go to the store for my weekly groceries without a carefully compiled list of items I need. I was stood in Morrison's consulting said list this July, when this guy I know came up and chortled, "Ha, I've got a list, too. What are we men like, eh?"<BR/><BR/>I looked at him pityingly, "The difference is, John, I wasn't sent here like an errand-boy, I wrote this bloody list myself! He was quite miffed (I think). ;-0Stinking Billyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13577508577062044906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327382592404863779.post-21225115180689008332008-11-30T19:26:00.000+00:002008-11-30T19:26:00.000+00:00Not forgetting where you hid the presents is class...Not forgetting where you hid the presents is classic -- I just did a clean out and found a bag full of kids gifts from Woolworth's from 2006!A Modern Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15632406403657444930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327382592404863779.post-87782439952946500032008-11-30T04:46:00.000+00:002008-11-30T04:46:00.000+00:00here here!here here!Mom/Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00377035506718286960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327382592404863779.post-36131471099012794212008-11-30T00:00:00.000+00:002008-11-30T00:00:00.000+00:00OH my goodness I stockpile the Body Shop butter to...OH my goodness I stockpile the Body Shop butter too...great taste & minds think alike?
