COLD DARK ROOM

[Lyn W]

Another time also in M&S with a sister, we separated so she rang me to find out which part of the store I was in to which I innocently replied "I'm just going through men's underwear" and a man nearby burst out laughing and said I was welcome to go through his too.

It's dinner time and I usually feed my house full of animals and then everyone else. I'm obviously sitting here being lazy and typing. Well, one of my cats just MEOWED loud to get my attention AND THEN FLICKED AN ORNAMENT OFF THE TREE! He stared at me completely dead-pan as he did it too! Ha ha! I'm telling you it was in protest for the late meal.

I better go feed some beasties!

"My dinner now! Or the tree gets it!"
See you soon!

I bet he kept an eye on you for a while after that!
Police protection.

I'm just glad they didn't ask me to tell them what was in the bag , and say to me '......anything you say will be taken down!!'

I worked in the women's clothes section of C & A one Christmas hols.
My job was to sit by the ladies changing rooms and count the number of items a lady took in, give them a matching number and collect the number and count the items on the way out. (people would try and nick stuff by wearing it under their clothes and jewellery stuffed 'accidentally' into pockets. )
Anyway it was quite entertaining at times, for though I wasn't allowed into the changing rooms on pain of death (or worse getting sacked and not paid), many women would come out to model their outfits for me and ask me what I thought. This was fine for dresses, coats, skirts and trousers, but variable for unmentionables, sometimes rather nice for me, sometimes a bit horrifying.
One day some girl ran out with a complaint and the police were called.
Another lady had gone in with a hand drill and had been silently drilling holes in the partition walls between the cubicles to watch the other women changing.
Takes all sorts.

My skin is as soft and smooth as silky the silkworms favourite silk pyjamas!
But, I must confess, it doesn't smell of peppermint.
