    I don't think they look any different to the ones from a couple of weeks back to be honest :o but I will do as it's you ;) I did one also in cropped trousers and a bra (going to do some of those to show the loss with less clothing on) but nobody gets to see those :eek: (well, unless I'm asked nicely ;):D:rotfl:)

    No - just me being sensitive.
    They have SIL's Mum staying for the weekend and we get on well. I did mention earlier in the week that it would be nice to get together Saturday evening. Today when DD came down and said MIL was booking corned beef hash I said 'mmm. Enough for me?' and she laughed. Short of just turning up .....:rotfl::rotfl:

    Wouldn't mind but they were happy enough to drink my wine and nick my pasta yesterday and I'm cooking for them all tomorrow! There'll be a reason - DD2 is usually very welcoming.

    Obviously you are also very welcoming Bookie, and can cook :D

    Isn't the problem that they turn up....that someone hasn't managed to run them over on the way to your house or they haven't been attacked by a vampire

    p.s. Any JW's reading -it's just a joke, in very poor taste:)

    I quite like my car at the moment - it's being quite kind to me. Due to my complete mistreatment of it, it ran out of petrol yesterday. I spotted the signs whilst in town and got it to the entrance of the nearest petrol station before it died. Some poor guy behind me (on busy road) had to help me push it to the pump. Oh dear :o

    Elfen, great minds think alike! I've just been reading about the Ilkley Literature Festival short story competition and wondering which one I could enter.

    Actually, I might go have a google for other competitions, it'll help me to keep my writing on course.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Ames, have you got a link for that one? Have entered the DarkTales one as I like to write dark stories, and done an entry for emeraldwritingworkshop.co.uk (it should work, if not...put the addy into google and it'll come up that way) I've bookmarked the page for entry requirements....so hopefully that'll help.
