    Dammit, where are the Shark brothers when you need them?

    What???? "Rehearsing for their parts of the Ugly Sisters in Cinderella?"
    Igor, who said we're doing a panto??? And why is Hubert poncing around in a pink sparkly frock, four pink sparkly stilettos and a pair of wings??

    I sense a nightmare coming on.....

    One woman knocks out her own teeth another gets her OH to do it for her :eek: I know dentists can be expensive but come on that's too much.
    I watched one where a woman threw her teenage son a birthday party in an old folks home with a chinese Elvis impersonator. Hilarious. DH has come to the conclusion that these ones must be staged and that nobody could be that desperate to save a few dollars. Have to admit I agree with him :):)

    It's been a spendy sort of week with the new house and Christmas do at work so I only have one NSD to declare for last week (I think. I sort of lost track for awhile as my notebook has gone walkabout and my brain is a bit scrambled!) so I'm declaring NSD #8 and could I up my target to 12 please :)
