How to guide your children into adulthood: lesson 254

Years ago, I always kept £100 in a bulding society passbook close to where I lived, so I knew I'd never be out of money .....

Actually I've still got that £100 (+ interest) ....

On my birthday I bought an indian takeaway, £6.... ate half that evening, so £3.


Tea tonight is a cheap pack of noodles (15p) - and the half tin of peas I've had in my fridge for 3-4 days or so .... 5p.

I've been eating cheaply the last few months, with the exception of Kiev and tonight, it's mainly been leftover Khinkali from OH's place.

This is not on me, but we will be having a few drinks each, and therefore to avoid driving, chucking less than it would cost for a taxi for 5 of us in a pot, is probably the best way to do it.

I don't eat out as much as it may seem, viewing my posts on here, just I tend to mention when I do

I also wanted to highlight that I'm not using company resources for personal use, and am putting taxed income to pay for it.

F*%^ing cricket BTW.

Just sayin'.

Short of anymore domestic disasters, I'll be heading out for the Melbourne and Sydney Tests. I missed the famous last series down under (the one we won) but had been to the previous four series. My record is as follows. Seen seven matches, lost seven matches!

Now I'm not hoping for miracles, but is there any chance I can just see one sodding win :mad:

I'm surprised the ECB don't pay me to stay away!

Oh well, if the worst comes to the worst, at least I'll be in the sunshine on Christmas day. Sitting on the beach at St Kilda's eating fish and chips!

You up for a beer or two Gen?

Oh spirit. You are too sweet.

There are some names I simply cannot imagine feeling the urge to cry out with passion. 'Darling' and so forth were probably originated by the lovers of......well, I'm not going to name names!

I do not think actual names matter. In my limted experience it is God that is called to when having a 'good time'.

All the coast along East Anglia's got random pockets of cliffside homes and huts - all of which have been on borrowed time for the last 60+ years. I remember as a small child seeing houses (actual houses) perched on the edge, some half missing.

600+ years at least, I reckon? Wasn't it during hte 14th century that Dunwich mostly vanished into the North Sea?

At least you're getting paid for it. Presumably you're working with one of the fine associates of the Young Offenders Institution there...? It used to seem to me that many teenaged residents live round there so that their parents could visit them easily when the inevitable happened.

No, one spouse visa appeal, one 14-year-unlawful-residence appeal.

The second one didn't even get going - adjourned for lack of court time until late Feb.

My hairdresser sat down next to me today and held my hands and said, 'I have some thing to tell you'

I gulped and nodded.

'Your hair' his lip wobbled a little. 'I, I have to tell you. Its.....de pigmentising'

'Yer what?'

Apparently its the beginning of starting to go grey. I'm not going to get grey hairs probably. I'm going to get GREY HAIR. Like those people who think its happened over night.

I had thought my roots looked darker and colder making my colour look - little brash.

Sigh. Its happening. I'm going to have to start a gradual fade to that safe middle aged blonde that starts usually in the late thirties and ends somewhere around Helen miren.

I'm going to have to think about it because not sure how that's going to work with my hair....i don't want pale candy floss hair. I asked hairdresser if it meant, pale, I could have more fun with temporary colours at least....wash out stuff. And he laughed and said....with my hair there is no such thing as wash out.


I like this. http://www.hawaiikawaii.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Curly-rainbow-hair.jpg. But not as a medium term option,but if I had light hair already all over I'd do it for a couple of weeks with pleasure. ( though probably not orange red and yellow. Maybe cerise and peach or coral instead.)

I don't quite get the difference between grey hairs and grey hair?
