Did our Graham look about 20 years older with the beard or is it just me?

He straddled me, once. Very cute Popeye style anchor tattoo on his very well toned arm

Beards are weird. I like them but you can't look younger than 45, wearing a beard. Older if it's grey

He definitely looks younger without, better looking too.

I'd have volunteered! His arms were delicious.

I don't think he fancied me, unfortunately. Just felt comfortable.

Mine is CGT too. If you lived in the old house you should get a fair bit of PPR relief, aren't you still able to add on 3 years after the date you moved out?

It's only 18 months since last April.

Mind you we'd lived there for almost 40 years so that will count a bit I hope.

Despite not paying Income Tax I have an Accountant to do the forms for me as I'm too cognitively impaired to do it myself. Most years I'm too cognitively impaired to even find the paperwork he needs to do it. <roll eyes smiley>

My very nice Accountant who was so kind to my parents retired last year, but the chap taking over has been going through his stuff with him over the last year. And the office is really close to DD2's home so good excuse to visit. There's no way I'm capable of dealing with HMRC, and OH hasn't had to do so yet as he's still on PAY. So between us we'll deffo need help with CGT. It's all very scary to me.

Current celebrity crush, anyone?

Mine is Jeremy Piven, off of Mr Selfridge and Entourage. He wouldn't get out alive.

I'm going through a bit of a Hugh Jackman phase at the moment Doozer. It used to be George Clooney and Jose Mourinho, but they have looked a bit older of late, if I'm allowed to say that being in the same age group.

Good taste, viva!

Been trying yet again to research a piece of Moorcroft Pottery I had when my Grandmother died. I always loved it as a child, love the colours and the swirly flower pattern. Apparently it's called the Spanish pattern.

We did take it to Antiques Roadshow around 15? years ago, decent valuation, but wonder if gone up in value since then. I don't really want to sell, or not yet anyway. Other china and stuff from parents will go first.[/QUOTE]

I love Moorcroft, I have about 50 or so pieces. That is a lovely example. I love the curving lines of your piece, the tactile feel of the tubelining and the subtlety of the colours. A very beautiful piece and you should definitely keep it and look at a true piece of beauty.:)

Fir is ok, they were worries because his pulse is low and that worried him...I pointed out his gym routine.

Upshot is he needs cardiac tests but not urgently, much to lots of nurses' annoyance.
