Pick and missed

Our Valerie is going mad . That settee she ordered is now supposedly suddenly on its way. She has paid up front for it then one of my sons has gone on the computer and reckons the firm is about to go bust .! Well if Woolworths can go then nothing is safe .

I can remember the one we had on Castle Street Edgeley Stockport .
It had a wooden floor .
Not these plastic wooden floors they have now - (the formica decking whatever its called ) proper wood.
As a kid around Christmas Woolies was the place to go on a Saturday to wet your appetite for dolls and drums (and if you got to worked up about it all and got beside yourself) " a kick up the bum "
Last week I was in a Woolies and heard a young mother dealing with her back arching three year old about what he could and couldn`t have . Nothing changes really.
Or does it ? ........
No more Woolworths ?............
Where will we go for pick n mix now ?


(Keep you posted on the settee. Its a shame because Val had been saving up for this . What can she do if it doesnt come and she has paid for it ?)

Well what do you think ? Its does seem to be biting .

My sister Valerie has ordered a new settee ( they did need one theyve had the old one since Sean Connery was Bond ) and they said they couldn`t do it for Christmas . Now they can as long as she pays up front first . Doesn`t sound too good to me. sounds like the setee firm are up the Swanie . I wonder where that expression up the Swannie came from ? ( and whether it is spelt with one N or two ? )
I think we should get a supply of candles in .


All the best Barbara xxxx
