    I need a new cat because the one I have now is afraid of our new back door (no really!!!) She hasn't been inside the house for 2 weeks and I can't cope with not vacuuming up the fur she pulls out.

    Can't resist this as this used to part of my party piece with a few friends :rotfl:

    We were lucky to live in a house! We used to live in one room, all twenty-six of us, no furniture, 'alf the floor was missing, and we were all 'uddled together in one corner for fear of falling.

    We lived for three months in a paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six in the morning, clean the paper bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down t' mill, fourteen hours a day, week-in week-out, for sixpence a week, and when we got home our Dad would thrash us to sleep wi' his belt.

    we had it tough. We used to 'ave to get up out of shoebox at twelve o'clock at night and lick road clean wit' tongue. We had two bits of cold gravel, worked twenty-four hours a day at mill for sixpence every four years, and when we got home our Dad would slice us in two wit' bread knife.

    Thanks to those that post the comps!!

    We have a Border Collie that is frightened of sheep, so I can believe a cat that is frightened of a door :rotfl:

    We have ants coming out of a corner downstairs and my son is too scared to use the downstairs toilet in case he sees an ant.

    I deserve an ITV win for that!!

    You have a flat Sax? Lucky you - me and my seventeen kids, twenty cats, and the OH all squeeze into a shipping container. On the plus side, it's ground floor and no windows ;)

    Oh, back to your orginal question mansey :T - I deserve to win because I never, ever moan about my lot at any time whatsoever, really truly...and haven't even used my hardships to try and win a FB comp!!

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Well we had it tough. We used to have to get up out of the shoebox at twelve o'clock at night, and LICK the road clean with our tongues. We had half a handful of freezing cold gravel, worked twenty-four hours a day at the mill for fourpence every six years, and when we got home, our Dad would slice us in two with a bread knife
