    Can't beat a bit of Huey Lewis while Michael J Fox skateboards through Hill Valley (Incidentally, I was devastated when I actually saw at Universal Studios the smoking heap that used to be the Clock Tower) :cry:
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!

    :hello: Bonjour mes amis!
  • Warning : rant coming up.

    !!!!ing christmas is a pain in the bloody !!!!.

    mum is miserable

    I burnt my sodding hand on the oven just because mum insists on shoving everything to the back of the stupid oven so you have to fight to get it out. she actually has burns in EXACTLY the same place but will she listen to me and move it forward hell no lets all sit !!!!ing blisters on hands cos its so much fun.

    then I went up to the loft ignoring all the decorations we are yet again not putting up to find wrapping paper and cards. more depressing comments from happy downstairs.

    she kept asking me bloody questions and i have forgotten something in morrisions. I wish I could bloody enjoy this time of year again. it used to be so much fun.

    and then I looked for cards under my bed banged my head and my hand really hurts.

    still got to wrap up presents. !!!!!!!!.

    sorry for all the swearing.
    Nevertheless she persisted.

  • nooooooo, not butter!!! it's an old wives tale - if you think about it - the oil in the butter gets hot.

    run it under a cold tap for 10 minutes and pat it dry with a non-fluffy towel.

    I agree, not butter :eek:

    Cold water as BB said. Sudocreme (nappy cream) is fab for burns if you have any, or aloe vera ;)
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:
    Loves being a Wonderbra friend :kisses3:
