Hi sam parky,

Where was I this morning, well what would you say if I said I did not get up until 1330, I got up at 10 to feed the cat and open the back door then I got back in bed and thought five more mins, next think I knew the cat was jumping all over my head and OH still snoring his head off.

Sorry I missed you in the lounge I think I had just signed off as I see it there to day. I'm going to Portugal for the weekend at the end of May to see my friend, she has a holiday home there and we always try to see her when she is over. Thanks for the info about Evans I do know it's there, I can sniff a big girls shop out any where. We live just over an hours drive from Seville so we do pop in every couple of months. Hope you have not had to much vino, I don't intend to stay long on here as I had to much yesterday best I snuggle up with OH for the evening. Roast dinner cooking in oven at the moment so I had keep an eye on that.

xxx

I know that I will feel like getting up at 13.30 tomorrow, but its Monday!!! The alarm will go off at 7am and by 9am we are into battle at work!! We should really go and eat out on a Saturday as Sunday is our day off:curse:

Where abouts in Portugal are you visiting? I am sure you will know we live in Ayamonte as you will probably pass our turn off on the A49. I know its only a quick weekend visit for you but if you are passing and get the time, perhaps we could meet up for a quick drink or two?

Hey good to hear from tezra, thought you may have given up on us. I have just been to Carrefour (big shop like Tesco) and they had light weight trousers that go up to XXL. OH and I were not to sure if they were ladies or mens but came to the conclusion did it really matter as they were elastic waist and draw string around the botton of leg. Only cost 14.90 euros so we got a pair for OH look really good so I may go back and see just how big XXL really is.

Samy Parky are you there! Friends live in Portimao, they have this lovely 8 bdr. 7 bthr house, their self-contained 2bdr basement apartment is bigger then the whole of our house, when I first see it my chin was dragging on the ground in disbelief, but soon came to my sense when I realised just how much cleaning was involve with 7 bathrooms

Have spoke with OH and yes we would love to stop in and have a coffee with with so I will PM in the next couple of days and tell you what we had in mind, if that's OK with you.

Problem is the XXL doesn't really mena anything, our local market advertisies XXXXXXXL, and they don't fit either, and they're not too small. Depends on who made them, suspect XXL in China would be a lot different to XXL in the UK. Carrefour at least do have a Tallas Grandes section.

Oh my God that house sounds gorgeous. The thing is when I go to houses like that I always come home and bloomin hate mine :curse: :curse:

Ive not been on this afternoon. We`ve been for a mega shop to Leroy Merlin and Carrefour and spent a small fortune lol.

Look forward to meeting up for coffee. See you soon.

Sam
