    ooh thank you!!

    Why do they make life as difficult as possible for themselves?

    Because it's their job:D

    BUT.........paybacks are absolute heaven:D;)

    Dunno about yours but my DD1(nearly 18) almost dies on the spot when I mention the word charity shop. Even more so if she happens to be out with me and DD2(5), who adores the places. Especially when little one requests very loudly if we can go in for a rummage.:D

    Pass!

    If, however, you find out, please let me know. DD1 has just turned up with a saxophone.... something else for her not to practise properly! DD2 want to play the flute. :rolleyes: Right, well, when either of them show the same level of commitment to their instruments as they show willingly to the tv or the computer, maybe I'll allow it.

    **regretting the saxophone decision already** Has someone got a nice cute smily with it's fingers in it's ears?? :confused:

    Add in DD3 who HATES loud noise as much as she loves watching Horrid Henry. Nice repetitive "stop it stop it stop it stop it stop it stop it stop it stop it stop it stop it stop it stop it stop it" Just to add to my joy... is it any wonder I turn to drink???? :rotfl:

    Oh good Lord. You really must be a masochist .... either that or a serious sadist and love inflicting noise on the your neighbours! .... speaking of which, I will have to apologise to my neighbours later, and try to arrange an agreeable practice time. :rolleyes:

    BTW... I point blank refused the viledin (love that) Under no circumstances would one of those things make it through my door. I can scarcely cope with them when they're being played properly. :rotfl:
