    What's that?
    Try me free - there is a whole TMF thread on here.

    DS1 just said to me 'How long do you think it will be before he brings that frog through the cat flap?'

    Last year my neighbours cat got toad poisoning from attempting to lick/eat a toad. There was nothing the vet could do, they just had to wait, he did pull through but was very poorly for a couple of days silly mog

    Im also considering (only considering, mind!) for my MACAW... *deep breath* c o n s i d e r i n g... giving up smoking :eek: For all you non-smokers, that wont seem like a big deal... the smokers out there will understand!!

    We'll see...

    Mrs B x

    I tried patches, gum, doctors you name it, did quit in both pregnancies (but with the sh:eek:te that comes along in life - I'd start again)

    I wanted to quit, so instead of making it my new years resolution in which I was bound to fail I decided to quit on Feb 1st last year, cold turkey style. So I read a book "The little book of quitting" by Allen Carr (ISBN 0-14-028900-3) link to amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/Little-Book-Quitting-Allen-Carr/dp/0140289003/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1246050132&sr=8-1 - I really cannot praise this book enough, I've never smoked since and even better nor have I wanted too - I've been plastered, argued with OH, argued with OH while plastered. If you intend to quit I would highly recommend to read this, but word of warning you need to be still smoking when you read it, as it tells you in the book to have your last cig (I didn't even finish it) it was that horrid and I smoked for 15 years.

    What's the difference between michael jackson and a space hopper? One is a lifeless piece of plastic which has been ridden by lots of small boys and the other is a space hopper.

    ETA

    Autopsy results have discovered bubbles in Michael Jacksons rectum. Police are saying it's difficult to rule out any monkey business...
