We have a huge one outside where I used to work. The butterflies do love it - perhaps your T-shirts look like flowers...
It's mainly DS's footie tops so they are quite colourful, I was wondering if it was a scent thing as I'm currently working my way through a lavender scented Comfort thing (was v cheap!). Not sure what the attraction of the trampoline cover is...

That is entirely in your hands. If DS can cook, clean, budget, and generally act as an adult he will be able to make his way in this world. That makes *wanting* to make his way in this world a lot easier."Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)

Blue. my car is black and when I washed it this morning it was sizzlingly hot! looks much better now and I'm not finding handwashing it too bad but will see if I keep this up when it gets colder...That is entirely in your hands.

at the mo the trees are dropping that sap stuff so unless he sticks some detergent in with it still needs washed. In winter driving up and down motorways in the rain doesn't get car clean. I'm not a mad car polisher BTW just have a thing about being able to see out and in winter the salt and muck mean cleaning the lights lots so might as well do the whole car - it's only ickle:D!Is he any good at football?
Apparently he's not bad - other folk have told me that I'm not being biased! I've told him that he needs to stick in at school though as even if he did get signed one injury can ruin a footballer's career so he sees the sense of that. He's only young yet so it might be rugby next year...:rolleyes:
So yet more fun at work for you for another couple of months? is it too late to become a footballer;)?Mortgage OP 2025 £6200/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Well you see...I've got a big 'un... :whistle:
And it is rather rainy here for some reason - whoever said "drier east" was making a huge generalisation.skint_spice wrote: »Apparently he's not bad - other folk have told me that I'm not being biased!

Yes, and the benefit of edukayshun is that you're not just "another dumb footballer" for whom "thick as pig shit" is an aspiration and not a warning...skint_spice wrote: »So yet more fun at work for you for another couple of months? is it too late to become a footballer;)?
When the applications open, then it will get interesting. We've got a huge amount of projects on the go at the moment, for one reason or another, and they will be dropped until it is over. Bit silly really.
I'm not all that good at football. Good at goalkeeping, but that's it alas...

It rains here more than anywhere else in Britain surely and it's really windy - still love it though.Yes, and the benefit of edukayshun is that you're not just "another dumb footballer" for whom "thick as pig shit" is an aspiration and not a warning...
we did have a bit of a discussion on where Wayne Rooney would be now if he couldn't play footie so well...:DWhen the applications open, then it will get interesting.

Nope! not really a team sports kinda gal, played a bit of footie but was more into athletics and swimming. oh and drinking, smoking and boyz:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.
Workwise - I think the sooner these things are over the better, mind you there will still be the discussions from the fall out for a while after. Maybe after xmas things will pick up:rolleyes:?Mortgage OP 2025 £6200/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

No, they say it to me..."Look at the size of that! Do you have trouble parking it?" etc...skint_spice wrote: »It rains here more than anywhere else in Britain surely and it's really windy - still love it though.
Well that's the strange thing - my parents who live about 15-20 mins due east from here, have about half the rain I do...skint_spice wrote: »we did have a bit of a discussion on where Wayne Rooney would be now if he couldn't play footie so well...:D
It all depends on whether his missus would still be interested in him.
If she wasn't, his address would probably be beginning HMP...skint_spice wrote: »Nope! not really a team sports kinda gal, played a bit of footie but was more into athletics and swimming. oh and drinking, smoking and boyz:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.
Aren't those the definition of a team sport?skint_spice wrote: »Workwise - I think the sooner these things are over the better, mind you there will still be the discussions from the fall out for a while after. Maybe after xmas things will pick up:rolleyes:?
