    I think that would have sent the Poshometer into meltdown! :rotfl:




    I'd like to read the article on " Dealing with Gold-Diggers"! :rotfl:

    That's volume 1. Was there a volume 2?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    It's 12C in here, so I just decided to turn the heating on as that is a bit nippy. Frosty outside!

    Frosty here too. I had to clear frost from my windscreen before driving to work - not unusual - but I had to clear more frost my windscreen in the work car park at 5pm before driving home. I don't remember having to do that before, although I'm sure there have been plenty of occasions when it's been below freezing all day while I've been at work. I wonder what caused it?

    I banged my elbow in the bath, on the side handle. It bl00dy hurts.... feels like the sort of thing that'll give me a twinge for 2-3 days.

    How annoying.

    Ouch! Hope it feels better soon. I agree with Pyxis it would be best to get it checked out if it's not better in a few days.

    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.     :)

    The thing that puzzles me is the face of the woman. She looks much too old to be a debutante - I thought they were meant to be young???

    High humidity means plenty of water to condense then freeze.

    Not those who've been on the shelf for more than a few seasons ;)

    One's only got to pass the champers the wrong way and one's doomed - apparently.

    I had to go out this morning.
    Last night I put the screen protectors on the front and rear screens to,save having scrape the frost off.

    That worked well.

    However, the condensation I keep getting on the inside had frozen too. :(

    But anyone who's been on the shelf for several seasons isn't a debutante, surely? Even if you "do the season" more than once, you're only a debutante the first time? Or is my terminology a hundred years or so out of date? It certainly used to be the way I've just put - you know, like in cricket, however many times you play for England, it's only your first match that's your debut.
