Went to the Christmas Market at Manchester yesterday with ickle man. Had Roast Chestnuts again yummy...wasn't a patch on Birmingham Christmas market that I went to last week though..so if you're going to one... go to the Birmingham one.

Well Friday night had a call from Nikki to meet in her pub for an early chit chat..We sat on a leather couch each and started catching up..a gin and tonic later...a lady in a floral jacket, black trousers and pink Croc shoes turned up..She asked Nikki if she could sit next to her 'cos she was on her own and meeting a man on a blind date..As soon as she sat down I recognised her as Mad Crazy Woman..I mouthed to Nikki that we needed to move somewhere else..Nikki didnt understand so I made an excuse and went to the ladies...I left Nikki fully engaged in conversation with MCW..When I returned MCW had her shoes off..not sure why and was sitting in bare feet..she started telling us how she was meeting this guy and he wanted to meet her in the car park or walking up the drive..she had turned up early so she could watch him arrive and decide if she wanted to make a hasty exit or not..I was meeting the girls at my house to go out so I had an excuse to get away..Nikki came with me and as we walked up her long pub drive I told her all about Texaco and MCW..as we walked a man arrived in a car he slowed down and stared at us as he passed...An awful feeling welled up inside it was Boilersuit man...Mad Crazy Woman was blind dating Boilersuit Man!! OMG

A few months ago I was in Texaco with ickle man buying some bread and looking at the wine..when this woman said to me..Oh for a minute I thought you were twiggy..Hmm well that got my back up a lil bit straight away cos Tiggy is 60..Anyway I carried on looking at the wine and she then said don't ever let anyone tell you that your hair is too long for your age..I started to think who is this woman..and your point is...She then went on to ask me how old I was..and then to my complete and utter horror and ickle man's amusement started showing me double chin exercises...she went through her whole chin exercise knowledge...with actions...I managed to get away...I can't remember wether I blogged about this at the time...but the reason for telling is cos I now have another part to the Mad Crazy woman story...

Ok so I am now finding £1 coins regularly...question are people throwing more money away or has my 5p phenomenon become a £1 coin one?? lol
In 2 wks found 1 in the carpark at work
1 in the supermarket carpark
1 at the pub
and 1 in the supermarket
That's £4 profit lol

Had a lovely time at the Birmingham German Christmas Market..get yourselves there!

Even if it's just for the huge Pretzel with Camenbert and Cranberries...oh and the hot roast chestnuts mmmmm yummy
