    This is the pic took years ago of the same thing

    It is actually a rotten strainer post and I believe the bits that go towards the outside are the inner workings of the outside branches.

    Can you guess how these were created?

    CD, fairy liquid, water, torch.

    CD, torch

    This was many years ago when I was getting to grips with the camera.

    The new photo (of the old strainer)..... well I immediately thought it was a picture of a specific orifice that should not be spoke about!

    Is the 2nd one tomato soup?

    The third, a delayed caption photo of motor way lights!

    :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    Good job I know I am totally wrong!!!

    Edit... I was really really wrong!!

    Debt-free and Proud!
    I liked your lecture SSM. As someone who used to live with an alcoholic, I'm a big fan of tough love. In the end we had to ask him to move out as he was thieving to fund his drinking and starting to make us feel uncomfortable and scared in our own home. When he left there were many bills unpaid and we had bailiffs knocking on the door. Money we had given him to pay bills was spent on booze. And even though it was 'only' 8-10 cans a day it was almost every day for two years.

    Cookie I hope you get the help you need. As SSM has said, 60 bottles of wine in two weeks is not normal by any stretch of the imagination. All best.

    Hello everyone :wave:

    I've been lurking for a while now and decided to put my head around the door and say hello.

    Welcome.I hope you will stay. Someone usually offers tea to a new op, so have a cuppa with me.

    Thanks for sharing EmmaP, it is true that everyones life seem to be terribly impacted on whilst someone with an alcohol problem is often the last to know as they justify their actions normally as it is the easiest way to cope. Cookie has his goal, and if he does not reach it, this should be a realisation for him and we will support him. If he reaches his goal, we all will be very proud of him x

    Afternoon :)

    Snap, I hope your friend recovers soon :(

    I have spent all morning getting the school stuff ready. School bags, packed, PE kits sorted, homework up to date, uniforms ironed.....DS2 is starting rugby in PE tomorrow. I just can't imagine him playing rugby :o

    No shopping for me today. I haven't put any make up on, or brushed my hair.....I feel like I should have a lazy day before getting back to the grind tomorrow. In fact Im feeling so rebellious I haven't even got a bra on :eek: :rotfl:

    Fab pics Westie but I couldn't see the K :(

    Thanks for the heads up about the Glamour make up Caz, my DD loved this last year.

    Well my day has been quite productive so far- I've sorted 4 of my trees out, am about to pot up two more and some long cane raspberries. I've repotted my blueberry plants amd rosemary. I've taken some onion sets to my parents for them to keep in their greenhouse til I'm ready to plant them out and been to buy more compost

    I like days like today :D
