Playing With The Nutcrackers!

I like to do all the talking myself. It saves time and prevents arguments - Oscar Wilde

We nipped into the Co-op to get the newspaper.
We went back up the High Street to go to a Craft Fair that was being held at the local Care Home.
I asked the staff if they would be interested to having my Rainbow cake I made.
"Yes," came the answer.

The car parking machine was playing up, so we walked over to the other one.
We did our shopping at Lidl.

Hubby picked up his snooker glasses.
Then it was time to pick up some magic bags.
I bumped into one of the Stepford mums from my sons's First school.
Both her kids are at Uni.
"Isn't it expensive going to Uni?" She said.
"I wouldn't know,"I replied.
*This is some of things she said to me when I was going through the breakup of my first marriage back in 2011.*
*"You moved your boyfriend in a bit quickly, after your husband left!"
My reply was: "Hotel rooms are very expensive!"
She blocked my car in the school car park, so I couldn't get out. When she FINALLY came back to the car, I told her either move it, or I will take it out...
*The fun I had with those Stepford Wives!*
