    Love it. I think you deserve chocolate too. :D

    *bows* well thank you. Obviously, I can't take all the credit....I'd like to thank my father for providing the deciding factor as to whether I'd be born a girl or a boy....and lillets who make a product which lulls you into a false sense of security by seemingly being small enough to fit in your hand safe and sound...:D

    Oooo, ouch *hands over last bar of choccie* think you need it more than me Sweetie!

    On the F word - just to make you feel better, I shall tell you that I once accidentally threw a tampon at a company Director...had it gripped in my hand on way to the loo, got caught enroute and asked a question - and I'm one of those people who 'talks' with their hands...gestured wildly, opened my hand.... and it bounced off his nose before hitting the floor. Was surrounded by aged men, in a very male-dominated environment. No idea who was more red in the face!! :o

    Anyway, I survived, and so shall you - tomorrow is another day.

    Another tampon related story (if we're going down that route)

    I get searched everyday on my way into work. (now I know what you're thinking...tampons......a search.....where's she going with this one :rotfl:) The newby working the xray machine put my bag through and then announced that there was something small white and compact showing up and could he search my bag???? I got a bit flustered at the thought of having some kind of illegal contraband in my bag and stopped thinking clearly (no surprises there). He rummaged and rummaged and then with a great flourish whipped out my super super lillet :o:o I'm not sure who went redder, him or me :rotfl: He hastily put it back and I was allowed to proceed. He's never made that mistake again!!!! My main thought though, was typical, why couldn't it have been a little mini one instead of one of those ones that are the same size and girth as a submarine torpedo!!!!!!!!

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Can just imagine the Navy trying to justify redesigning submarine torpedoes on the grounds that they get mixed up...
