    Thought the Scots might find this amusing
    Was doing the back to school shopping today and we were in M&S (or one of those orrible places!) My wife seen pajamas on special offer and bought a set for each of the boys….sometime later my eldest dragged me aside and asked me to convince Mum to leave the PJs back…….."Why?" I asked
    They’re a bit too Scottish" came his reply! 😀 😀

    Our school starts this Monday.
    All the stores (especially Walmart) are full of tartan dresses for girls.
    I think it’s a Miley Cyrus (barf) line of clothing.
    I guess it’s more of a checkered pattern really, yellow and black or red and black.
    I’m already sick of it myself!
    Love…..Jill

    Isnt that what the kilt was used for originally?
    maybe not PJ’s but an easy way to carry your bedspread when wondering around the highlands, and fighting the sasanachs..

    and there wasn’t any fighting… it was just a bunch of folk getting beat up for being daft enough to cross the border. 😉 :lol1: :lol1: :lol1:

    just joking now, so don’t go getting your knickers in a twist. :lol1:
