    Well they say 40(ish) is the new 50!!

    Isn't that the other way round???:confused:
    Although I don't want to be younger than I am, I don't want to age prematurely (and I'm enjoying the time left before I will be 50..... not too long now):rolleyes:

    Oh, and I spent 10p yesterday on uneccesary cakes. They were reduced and HAD to be eaten yesterday. Ah well, that's pence lost and pounds gained :rotfl:

    Question..........

    Since you mentionned a replica black house and not just a house I presume there is something more special about it other than it just being a house whihc is black?????

    Excuse my stupidity

    lol! they're so cool! altho living there would be a nightmare as the fire was in the middle of the room and the smoke would fill the house due to only 2 tiny openings in the roof!
