wowzz Posted December 14, 2022 #40752 Share Posted December 14, 2022 (edited) Are my ears burning ? Just come back from holiday in both senses of the word ! Nice of everyone ( well some, anyway !) to worry about me, but obviously I could not respond. And thanks Avril, my Mum is fine, although not keen on the current weather, as it curtails her socialising ! In the real world, we have just returned from three warm sunny weeks (well, a couple of showers) in lovely Playa Blanca, Lanzarote. Enjoyed lots of the three "esses" - sun, sea and that thing that us old un's are never meant to admit to enjoying, but when you have had a glass or two of wine for lunch, and your inhibitions have gone, why not indulge in that secret pleasure - siesta ! Speak more in due course. Edited December 14, 2022 by wowzz 22 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplesea Posted December 14, 2022 #40753 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Have just been over to visit Mum, it's her 90th birthday today. From there I went up to Tesco as they have beef and lamb at half price and wine is also on offer ( 6 bottles or more with 25% off). It was chaos. I had to go as my discount has been increased by Tesco to 20% for a few days as it's Christmas, so it would be silly not to stock up - wouldn't it?!!😆 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s really annoying when the supermarkets are advertising these discounts but we don’t get them. If I lived nearer the border I might be tempered to do a raid but alas too far so the petrol would probably be as much as the discount Enjoy your wine, and your lamb. Nice to get a bargain. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I’m now even more worried about the pampas grass we had at the last house! I’ll be looking that one up shortly. We set fire to it in the traditional way and nearly took the house with it. Maybe that sent out yet another signal. I’m now looking carefully at our outside Christmas lights in case they’re flashing morse code! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josy1953 Posted December 14, 2022 #40769 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Having read through the earlier post on here I have just googled "Wowzz" and being vertically challenged I am almost tempted to place an order for some of those shoes. I remember the 70s when I wore platform shoes and I also remember my dad's comments to my sisters and about "Those ridiculous things on your feet" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're a real funny fella kalos, but this post cracked me up. I can't get the image out of my mind, of you in those boots, skating down the pavement with sparks flying. I laughed so much I couldn't stop and tears were streaming down my face. I'm at it again now just typing this.🤣 Avril 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
