    CBM - yes, I have a Springer. He lives with his 'Dad' since we split, but we have an amicable arrangement that works where I go and take him out in the day and still have a key to my old house to collect him. It's worked really well in the 5 years since we split.

    Maz - I think I'll let the painting out 'on loan' ;) to my ex as long as it comes tomorrow. He knows it's due to arrive as he has been following progress online. It hasn't arrived yet, so I'm guessing it will be tomorrow now - good job we don't fly off too early.

    Lou.......a box?? I've got a whole drawer..............;)......not that any of it gets much of an 'airing'........:(

    I had to move mine from the bedside drawer as one day recently Erin and i had a conversation.

    "y'know mum, it's not nice to have secrets is it?"....
    so i said to her "i don't have any secrets from you" ....
    she said "yes you do, you won't let me look in the drawer beside your bed - that's having a secret"

    I asked her if she'd ever looked, she said she hadn't but she must have.....

    So i have promptly moved the stuff to another place... which is not as handy as would have to get outta bed to get it, which can kinda spoil the moment! lol!!!!

    she won't remember this but once when she was wee, my dad (god rest) was watching her, and she was pottering about upstairs, came down and promptly presented him with 10inches of flesh coloured latex........ i had to put that one in the bin, it kinda lost it's appeal after that! (i did worry what the bucket man might say if the bag ripped... or it ended up rolling down the street on bucket day! :rotfl:)


    - Edit-
    Hope that's not offensive to anyone! it is a very funny story and one that always gets rolled out to humiliate me at Ann Summers parties!
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

    Had a huge argument last night the upshot of which is exOH says I need psychological help and he doesnt feel safe leaving the kids with me.

    So during a break up, the partner is accused of having mental problems.

    How excitingly original. Like that one hasn't been done before... :rolleyes:

    Was it the stick-on eyes that they put on that made it less appealing..?

    I was once on playground duty when a little girl came up and showed me a 'toy' and asked me what it was :eek:

    She said she'd found it in her mum's drawer, and liked it because it was sparkly :rotfl:

    Me and the teacher on duty couldnt speak for laughing :p
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Knock knock, anyone in?

    BB it was wrong to have left a banana fritter uneaten in the first place!!! What were you doing girl....concentrate !:D

    On that note, would it be wrong to have profiteroles as a starter?

    Hope y'all having a better day than yesterday:kisses3:
