Is there any reason why some people are winning lots of blippys and others nothing at all?

Is it just down to uninstalling etc or the types of device we are using?

With me it's because I have lots of devices that I can use

Good Morning all

To be fair, I tried the pig, and it wasnt that nice.

Oh dear, I've wrapped two up as part of my SIL's pressie :eek:

Also hoped she wouldn't take offence at being given something called Blind Pig :rotfl:

Sounds like you've been to mine. DD2 does the starters.

So tragic. DD2 was there around this time 2 years ago. Could easily have been her walking around the market

Ditto. DD2 was there a couple of weeks ago.

Yes, that will be nice. :T

I really feel the change when it happens, like going to the edge of something and then turning away just in time.

Morning Everyone

Have been searching for a book for a friend who because of his illness can't concentrate for long so needs lots of pictures and not too much writing, something about nature or countryside.
Went to Smiths and discovered a damaged book section at reduced prices. Found a lovely big book about African wildlife with a ripped cover, but underneath the cover was exactly the same.
It was priced at £25 but with no reduced sticker so took it downstairs and asked how much it was. Three assistants said they didn't even know they had a reduced section! Anyway she said she'd scan it and it came up as........£1 :j:j My bargain of this Christmas I think

Avoid this post if you are not in a good place this morning and then come back to it later.


En route to the Boots £1 lunch yesterday Robbie Williams was on the radio so I went in search of his lyrics.
The chorus bit is very apt - even if we have to howl it into the compost bin while attacking it with a hand trowel (my preferred point of call when my carefully tended rhino hide starts to crack)

Love My Life
Robbie Williams

Tether your soul to me
I will never let go completely
One day your hands will be
Strong enough to hold me

I might not be there for all your battles
But you'll win them eventually
I'll pray that I'm giving you all that matters
So one day you'll say to me

I love my life
I am powerful
I am beautiful
I am free
I love my life
I am wonderful
I am magical
I am me
I love my life

I am not my mistakes
And God knows I've made a few
I started to question the angels
And the answer they gave was you

I cannot promise there won't be sadness
I wish I could take it from you
But you'll find the courage to face the madness
And sing it because it's true

I popped it on my FB page in the hope that certain people will see it and FB just previews the first few lines which say very aptly

"Tether your soul to me
I will never let go completely ...."
