    LOL Reminds me of when I won a Sqweel Go not so long ago. On the day it arrived, I left it on my dressing table (still boxed of course!) and my youngest daughter picked it up, opened it and began trying to curl her hair with it! :rotfl::rotfl: :rotfl: She came downstairs with the rotating 'tongues' tangled in her hair! I told her it was for making home made face masks - to whip up the ingredients!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Here it is in case you are wondering: http://www.femplay.com.au/woman/sqweel-go-usb-rechargeable-oral-sex-simulator-purple.html


    It would be handy that if your hand mixer broke down while making buns. Wash it first though :eek::eek:
    That Barbie hair thing is as evil looking as I remember it. Me Mam refused to buy me one. I ended up with a Rubiks Snake. :rotfl:
    BEST EVER WINS WON IN ORDER (so far) = Sony Camcorder, 32" lcd telly, micro ipod hifi, Ipod Nano, Playstation 3, Andrex Jackpup, Holiday to USA, nintendo wii, Liverpool vs Everton tickets, £250 Reward Your thirst, £500 Pepsi, p&o rotterdam trip, perfume hamper, Dr Who stamp set, steam cleaner.

    :rotfl: dontone - when I saw you write 'Me mam' I thought you were a fellow Geordie but you are from Barnsley! Us Geordies call our mams 'mam' too and say 'me' instead of 'my'! :o

    Does it say something about me that I knew what a Sqweel Go was without clicking the link, but needed to Google Rubik's Snake? :eek: :rotfl:

    I'm from Liverpool as is my husband. I say "me mum" but hubby always called his mum "Mam" and still talks about her now as "me mam". It's an old fashioned term here though, he's one of the youngest in a very large family so I wouldn't expect other people our age from round here to say that!!

    Just as long as you don't mix the two up - although, when I think about it...

    Blu X
    I am brave, I am bruised
    I am who I'm meant to be
    I'm not scared to be seen
    I make no apology
    THIS IS ME!


    When you talk down to others it says more about you than them.

    I would say 90% of Geordies call their mam 'mam' :o When I ring me mam, I always say 'are yee alreet mam?'


    And before I get told off for changing the topic.......another pet hate about comping is Rafflecopters with end dates that are months away! (there are a few running just now with a daily tweet option that end in September and by then Christmas will be in the shops!) christmas-tree-3.gif 214 days till Christmas btw - that is 189 days until the Advents Sssshhhhh! And the days also start to get shorter again from the 21st of June - just next month!

    What have I said about an advent countdown?:mad:

    Don't make me come over there.....
    Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.

    Virtuous action, now, at this very moment.
    (Wisdom, Courage, Self-control, Justice)

    Willing acceptance - now, at this very moment - of what you can’t change
