    Rio- animated film about a macaw who goes to Rio! Think the bright colours will cheer up this dreary day! :D

    Tete, often bandeau style maxi dresses can be terribly unflattering, they squish your 'ladies' so you look flat chested and hang all unsexily around any lumpy bits. Something with this shape will be better, and this will be even better. :) Ooooh I love this, shame it's out of stock! :(

    It is so wierd what sells on the 'bay isn't it? What's so special about the wallet?!

    I remember Brad, he's like the original Joel! ;)

    Haha, thank you Gok :D I don't like them as much though... :o There is another branch of Warehouse to try near my knitting group tonight, maybe the print will make it less fat looking?!

    Pff, Joel was a pale imitation.

    Yes I remember Rio now! My DVDs are on their way from LoveFilm, will be here for the weekend :)

    No idea what's special about the wallet!! Even stated on the listing it's a bit battered...?

    No, they're not as nice as the paisley one, but I was just trying to find the right shapes to illustrate! Just be glad I didn't come round and grab your jubblies like Gok would! ;)

    You know how old women's shoes sell quite well to folk with fetishes? Maybe there's a new trend for travel wallet fetishes! :rotfl:

    They're not big enough for him I don't think, even though he's meant to be gay!

    Yes I know what you mean about the old worn shoes! Did you see this thread recently? Blegh! (you prob can't see ebay from work, sorry)

    It isn't nice - I hate grubby mattresses they make me queasy. Glad to see no-one would buy it even after it was relisted at £15...

    Tete I remember Brad (and the Brad n Beth love saga), if it makes you feel any better I used to have a crush on Henry (Craig McLachlan) back in the Scott and Charlene days! Although I was quite wee then in my defence, late 80's (?) so could only have been 8 or 9 which seems young to be lusting after Aussies now I come to think of it! I had 52 posters of him on my wall and used to kiss each one goodnight before bed, and sadly I'm not making that up!

    I don't remember Joel though...although the name rings a small distant bell....?

    Birdie, my OH is a seriously grumpy Gus and is always doing that monosyllabic thing, it drives me bonkers. When he started his current job and had to start leaving the house at 7.30am I swear he didn't actually speak to me before he left for an entire year! Just the odd grunt and occasionally a one word answer, even though I got up with him to make him tea and toast (and a packed lunch) while he got ready. You're right to just let it pass, even though you feel like jabbing them in the eye with a tea spoon!

    I hardly follow anyone 'real' on Twitter as I don't really know anyone who tweets, if anyone wants to boost their followers let me know!

    That's so funny about the posters Shrimpy! The things you do when you're young! I never had any posters until I got into my mid teens (my only celebrity crush up to about age 11 was Jonathon Taylor Thomas aka The Voice of Simba and Randy from Home Improvement! :rotfl:) I remember going round to my friend's when I was about 6 and her walls were plastered with posters of Jason Donovan, she even said I could kiss one if I wanted! I didn't want! :p

    Glad to hear I'm not the only one with a grumpy OH. I think mine is Manstruating at the moment, although it's lasted 2 weeks! I'm actually dreading the weekend because we haven't got any plans yet and everything I suggest will be 'rubbish'! :o

    I'm @BirdieOnTheUre if you want to follow me Shrimpy (and I'll follow back you of course! :))

    I used to kiss the TV when Jason Donovan came on :) Must have been a nightmare for my Mam trying to keep it clean!

    As for stabbing your OH in the eye with a teaspoon, that doesn't sound like something you've considered before at all....
