    reminds me the old joke where the bloke tells his wife to put her coat on cos he's off out, she asks if he's taking her somewhere nice and he says he's not taking her just turning the heating off.

    Bookie, were they ok about manchester or did they phone the men with white coats?

    I do that when I go to work :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Bookie - tell her it's teenage rebellion - and that you are a late developer :rolleyes: ;):D

    Mother not amused!
    Ancient aunt said 'well done you and when are you going again'!
    Told Dad that one of the friends might be coming over this week and he said 'your Mum will make my life hell now'!
    I did laugh. (I'm 54 for goodness sake).

    So Bookie....are you having to move back in with mum and dad so they can keep an eye on you?

    Apparently, the shop where I work was shown on Secret Millionaire, I think they walked past it :eek:

    She's probably just worried about you Bookie, whatever age - mothers worry!

    oh dear Bookie, you've done it now that'll be you grounded for weeks! Seriously though maybe she'll be fine once she gets used to the idea. I have a friend who was always meeting folk she'd met on line originally and it freaked me out totally but she never came to any harm because of it.
