more junk...as Avril calls it
« on: September 29, 2012, 06:47:39 am »
I,m just back from our local charity shop...with more "antiques" :D...the Punch & Judy...figures are cast iron ..Door stops,..and the stonewhere baby demijohn..is an 8pt jobbie...the figures have a combined weight of 12lb...and they stand 12in tall,...i know they are not antiques...but again all three items were much cheapness...£12..for the lot...Avrils response...was "where are you going to put them"....typical woman...she,s probably thinking... ???...something else to gather dust....
I make no excuses,and no apologies....but i like a good Malt,

Good lord, I almost typed 'I like your ........' then realized how that would that could be taken.  Just tell Avril that you did good and all dusting will be undertaken by the purchaser.  ;)
