    Good morning Elite. Bit cloudy here this morning.

    One or two interesting conversations going on here last night, but a little on the quiet side.



    We have mice that live in our compost bin, except we haven't seen them for a while - suspect either a cat or red kite have had them. Actually quite like having them around, see their family grow, they have such lovely big eyes too, but then they don't cause us any problems cos they con't come in the house. They did eat the floor of the last shed, but it was rotten anyway :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    we used to use our compost bin until one day my dw went to put waste into it and there was a rat sat ontop of the contents cleaning itself. it never took any notice of dw and carried on. it looked so so sweet, like a pet. anyway she ran indoors and forbid me to put any more food waste into bin.
    ps. did not help matters when i tied a woolly sock that was in a ball, to a piece of string. and pulled it when she went near it :rotfl:

    I went for my complimentary Clinique makeover last week. I got an over zealous (but lovely) consultant and had to dash straight into a loo to remove 95% off the slap she put on me:o:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I like my make up. I DON'T like looking like Hilary Devey:eek::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I remember going for a photoshoot with my children, was one of these types that are now in mothercare, was years ago. I had a free glamour shoot and my god they plastered my face with makeup and then told me to smile and pose for the pictures, I couldn't move my mouth or open my eyes, with the amount of gunk they put on. I was going out with a friend after, but had to go home and remove it all first as I looked like a transvestite :eek::eek::eek:

    I grew up with two brothers. If I see a rat I chase it :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    When I was younger I used to work at a place in the middle of Ashdown Forest. The porter asked me what I was laughing about, there was an Adder about to climb up his trouser leg. You've never seen a 60 year old obese bloke move so fast :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Me, I went an grabbed it and popped it through the perimeter fence! :D
