    Karlie88, we have a neighbour with a car in that colour. Have to say I do not like it, but it would stand out in a crowd!


    Which one :huh:

    I was comparing the green car pictures, thinking the first one does look darker than the next, but is it enough to worry about!

    Personally I think green cars date quickly. If I remember the mazda2 came out in that green car.

    Enterprise - Have an amazing time watching Rock of Ages, I am p'ing my pants with excitement, hoping to take Mum next week :D:D:D I am such a HUGE music fan and might need to superglue my bum to my seat to avoid jumping up for a boogie!! :o:o:o:o:D

    freddies flyers two - :(:(:(:( Awww I'm so sorry, that's so unfair. When I had my doggies (6 years ago now :eek::eek:) Mum had a phonecall while I was at school to say the one I had chosen had a grade 5 heart murmur and would now live beyond 6 months so we could no longer have her :( Me and Mum were devastated. I begged Mum to ask if we could just have her anyway as I wanted to give her the best life she could but the ownder said no :( We ended up with her sister as her would be owners split up and no longer wanted her. I really hope everything turns out well for you and you have a welcome addition to your household very soon :A

    streetlights - You're welcome :)

    silvercar - :(:( Sorry that your DS had such a hard time with his exam. When you're convinced you've done a terrible job, the waiting becomes unbearable, I really sympathise and hope that at the end of the wait he gets a very pleasant surprise :)

    cosmic - :j:j Welcome back!!! :j:j

    AAAAAAAARGH!!

    A huge big spider just went scuttling across my floor :eek::eek:
    I don't like them at all *shudders* Was very close to screaming then I realised DD was watching me, don't want to pass on my fear to her, so quickly ran to put my shoes on so I could stand on it, but the little booger went under the telly stand.
    DD asked 'what that mummy'
    Me in a singsong voice 'just a little spider, it's away under the telly hiding one me'
    DD then proceeds to try and get under said telly stand while shouting 'where are you spider' looking all :D while I'm sat like :eek:

    Think I need a lie down now! :rotfl:


    For those that Don't Like Spiders look away now (no pics but a true story)




    A couple of years ago I was putting the rubbish out, came back inside and felt a sharp scratch on my finger, looked and there was this spider hanging from a thread from my finger tip so threw the little blighter back outside.

    Anyway 5 minutes or so later I got pins and needles in my finger, looked again and I had Two small red dots on my finger, It had bitten me :eek: didn't believe it myself at first but another 5 mins later my finger had gone numb and the pins and needles feeling was now half way up my arm..

    Started to worry now so rang NHS Direct, told me not to panic but if the numbness went past my shoulder to go straight to A&E.

    An hour after I got munched on :D my whole arm, upto my shoulder had gone really heavy, same type of feeling you get in a morning if you've laid on your arm whilst asleep. It was like that for 2 and half days.

    Did a bit of research and ended up finding out it was a False Widow Spider and they are becoming really common down in the south and are slowly moving there way north. They will only live outdoors so don't panic the next time you get a Spider in the house


    Oh.. and dont have nightmares :D

    Ouch! good luck with that :rotfl::rotfl:

    Tried that once, never again!

    I got 2 epilators on the electrical glitch last year £2 something each:T:Tnever again did one leg and ended up shaving the other one because it hurt so much:o:o:oAnd the spare epilator I swapped with a member of the Elitefor some pukka pads;););)
    BTW, has anyone actually tried the [strike]blue maggots[/strike] wash mitts yet?

    I just washed the car. Put one on each hand and washed the whole car in 5 minutes flat! Well impressed! :)

    They are brilliant and great for cleaning the bath & shower;)
    Beware!!!! Glitching is addictive:rotfl:
