Isn't humour just so important. My hubby had his name tatooed across his wrist a few years back and we wondered if it was incase he got lost...then he could just show his wrist and people would know who he was! "better tattoo in my telephone number too...so they know where to bring you (him) ha ha". He just grinns whatever reason we find to tease him about sth. Love a man with humour.

When i was newly married we lived in a block of units with an elderly Greek lady opposite. When I came home from work one day all my socks had been re-pegged from the toe. She told me (with lots of pantomime as her English was not very good) that they would go frilly if i pegged them the other way, so i've done them her way ever since!And I've been married nearly 40 years!<br />And as for not matching socks, my daughter NEVER wears matching socks. It's kind of her thing, and always has been since she started selecting her own stuff. Not sure why, it just is :)<br />Judy Yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08143303275859311603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-86888381267256977202013-05-24T09:14:17.297+01:002013-05-24T09:14:17.297+01:00I would probably do ok without hanging them in pai...I would probably do ok without hanging them in pairs, but it would drive me crazy if I went through a day knowing I had on the *wrong* pair of socks.FeatherDusterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13948943117689877545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-3156397721787257822013-05-24T09:05:49.752+01:002013-05-24T09:05:49.752+01:00Totally agree with you about frugal socks - all bl...Totally agree with you about frugal socks - all black for us as far as possible! The YFG needs white socks for PE so she has a load of plain white ones, but they are all the same and odd ones find a partner eventually!
