As we were trudging back through the woods the other day, me carrying four fallen branches intended for our fire, my DOH turns round and says "you look just like Barbara!" (the good life Barbara, that is) I was so proud! he he :iconbiggrin:

Hehe, I bet we all get that - people at work think it is hilarious, although wearing my stripy woolen tanktop and beige cords was asking for it a little.

Not all the time though - yesterday my neighbour came up to the fence while I was digging away and said 'Hello Barbara, where's Tom today?' to which I replied 'inside on his Xbox' :roll:

Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

Lucky Husband I've always thought she was rather attractive, my wife always reminds me a bit of Pam ferris from rosemary and Thyme, just a younger version. :lol:
