    Fourp & his brother were joking about their Mum, who they both suspect her of the 'crime' of going through their belongings secretively

    Fourp's brother has put a lot of his stuff this weekend in her loft as he is in between homes, he sent the following text -

    'I could hear the creak of loft ladder being pulled out as soon as I shut the front door'

    to his Mum by accident :o:o:o:o

    Oh my! :o
    Sorry but it did make me giggle just a little bit honest

    :rotfl: Is 30 young?! I feel like I'm borderline. I'm enjoying this job, just not the 4-5 hours sleep maximum every day. On that note I better go to bed. Laters! :)

    30 is definitely young.

    This weekend at my second cousin's christening my cousin's mother in law asked if I was going back to university.

    She'd mistaken me for my 20 year old cousin :D

    Oooh I've never been to Barcelona VT. Will make sure PD and I have a confab this weekend after she's gotten some shut eye. Cheers!

    I think some places use starches to prevent creasing?
    Then there's who's touched them and did they wash their hands when they last went to the loo. Or in a shop.....who's tried them on??
    You know what I mean? :o there's no type of clean like your own clean

    When I was a teenager there was a clothes shop where everyone who tried clothes on caught scabies. The local gps were trying to figure out why so many teenage girls were coming in with the symptoms and only after a few mentioned trying on clothes in this store did they work it out. It was the only common thing between them all. Environmental health closed them down until everything had been treated, including the member of staff they thought might have started it.
    I was one of the victims :o
    Ever since I've been very wary of trying clothes on in stores and tend to stick to the ones that I know treat their clothes after people try them on, even if it's only steaming it. I'm known in one store and the lady in the changing room steams them before I try them on :rotfl:

    10 hours is nothing Em, it'll go by really quickly

    Try 27 hours door to door SWales to SEPoland, I actually thought I would die...we arrived at OHs cousins house in the wee small hours, muttered incoherently then fell on the bed fully clothed and passed out for about 12 hours :o

    Guh. That's terrible. Longest I've ever travelled was Fiji-LA-London. Think it took me almost 24 hours. That was bad enough.

    I can wallpaper if someone puts the top bit up for me ;), my dad taught me how to paste and brush the air bubbles out. I have his wallpaper scissors and line (a little brass weight on a string). :A

    It was his trade painter and decorator. White overalls with a pocket watch in the pocket so it didn't get covered in paint. I have that too. :D
