amanda n wrote:going up the gondola in niederau there wass a woman talking, she does 4 lists every holiday, one list per bag, colour coded with entire contents in each bag listed, list are taken on holiday and said 4 bags returning with coloureds in one, whites in another, unused items in another, cross referenced to original list so she knows not to take them next time, and spares in last bag, and she has to re do her lists before departure so she knows what items she has packed in return cases?

anyone else this organised?


I like to think of myself as organised ut that is ridiculous. According to my list she is either:

1. COD sufferer
2. Mad
3. Not getting any

:wink:

As per Tino's list plus far, far too much time on her hands.

happy days :D

Yes I,ve had a lovely day too, although my Son does'nt live that far away dont get to see him that often, he's always working and I'm always working and we never seem to have the same time off. But it was great and I solved his problem on a birthday present for his girlfriend.

When my Son visited yesterday for Mums Day he said he wanted a special birthday present for the girlfriend. He wanted to take her for a spa weekend, so I helped him find a good one and he booked it.
He said he had something special to ask her so it had to be nice.
All day I have been imagining weddings and hats and outfits etc. So I phoned him this afternoon and asked if he really was going to pop the question. His reply.............................good god, no mother I was just going to tell her that I am going to Magaluf with the lads next month. I'll put the wedding catalogues away now. :oops:

Lynn_D wrote:Just wondered if anyone could help with a question along similar lines – whenever I’m out in the cold (skiing, riding etc.) the tops of my thighs/backside are absolutely frozen (to the point of looking blue!), but the rest of my body is fine. I normally wear thermals and salos (which are a decent thickness) but even then, it doesn’t do any good. I’ve even tried the more expensive thermals with marino wool, but to no avail.

Does anyone else have this problem and any ideas how to solve it? I thought about cycle shorts or maybe there are some even more ‘extreme’ thermals on the market that I could try? :D

Thanks

This was my problem explained earlier in the thread. Backside/thighs did'nt feel cold while I was outside, but it was when I got back and took outside gear off, those parts felt freezing to the touch, and stayed like it for a good 45mins after. Thank heavens for a roaring log fire. But I have decided to buy blokes boxers to wear under my thermals for next year. I even asked if I could pinch some of hubbies, his reply yes okay but I draw the line at wearing yours. :lol:
