I'm not into the celebrity thing I'm afraid, but I'll admit to preferring the rugby player, very masculine!

Rugby player is Lawrence Dallaglio. Patrick Stewart is another favourite of mine when I'm feeling more intellectual :rotfl:Can you see a pattern forming :rotfl:It's often remarked upon that Mr F looks like Mr Dallaglio

good morning dear friends in the box. Letter in the post from THEM signature updated accordingly. I am still in my pyjamas but I have
washed down some walls, done a load of darks, washed dishes (not too much activity there) scrubbed the sink with Cif (I love that stuff) Got a few pieces to post
Did I mention car is in shop as some B(*t%$d hit it again on Saturday night while it was parked. It is going to cost £500 to get all the dings out not at the dealership, and I told OH why bother someone is just going to hit it again. then a light bulb went off
and I said.. since it will be all ding free why don't we sell it.. (which I thought was good thinking on my part)
and she said..........

How's Mom?

Ok So Mom wanted to see a "traditional" British post office. Boy was she ever disappointed. This afternoon I am taking her to a geneology place in Kew. My oldest traceable relative back to the early 1800's was a lady called Fanny Packer (I am not joking) and being a lesbian every time I think of it my giggles start off. Mom is less amused.
By the time we get back from that she will need a nap. (maybe I will too!)Mortgage: £280,752/ £262,515.84

Oh NL - sorry to hear about the Golfgate raging on. Good skills with the timing of the comment about ding freeness and selling though! I have to say the price for dings is not that bad, I had to pay more when DH took the wing mirror off mine on the side of the house (don't ask)
Perhaps you could try to take Mom to a quaint village post office in said Golf to appease her sense of tradition?
Enjoy the geneology experience! Hope Mom is starting to feel a bit betterStart info Dec11 :eek:
