Having had a silly conversation & being taken the mick out of for talking about the fact that I make keyrings & fridge magnets & the stuff that’s on them, i thought I’d share some of mine with you, & invite you to share your quotes etc. This excercise is really about silly sayings!
My favourite is of course “Coffee, chocolate & men….Some things are just better rich!” And of course “The only thing better than a good friend is one with chocolate”! Any guesses as to who the conversation was with??

These are some of the others!

And there’re the ones I cant find to scan! They say things like:
Be Reasonable, Do it my way!
&
I thought about procrastinating, but I’ll do it later!

Any more from you GoYs?

I’ve found another one!!
This IS me!!

Arlene, I do really have a fridge magnet with this on, lol!

I also have a mug and coaster with my fave quote this year:-

"When the going gets tough, the tough get growing!"

Reminds me of the well-documented therapeutic benefits of gardening as a hobby, for folks in a fragile state of mind. Makes me feel lucky to be "normal"! ?

My family tree is full of nuts...

I'd let myself go but I've already gone!

I made a wish and you came true,,,

I've shopped all my life and I've still got nothing to wear!!

And finally, one for the Grandparents....
