    Morning all. keren I thought your hair looked fab. There was an article in the Daily Mail (!) last Thursday about how men and women's vision is different, you know how men look in drawers and cupboards etc & can't find things.? Apparently because the women stayed at home to look after the cave and children, it was more important for them to be aware of immediate surroundings. So their vision is 'wired' for this. Whilst men's vision needed to be able to spot the prey in the distance when they went out hunting and gathering so their vision is better for this.

    Keren, men are useless. I remember when I got my lip pierced when I was still living at home... it was 2 DAYS before my dad realised I had a piece of shiny silver metal in my lip!!!

    DS1 had his eyebrow pin in for about 3 weeks before I noticed...


    Speaking of the cold & ice - guess which blonde went to Mr T's last night, thought "ooh I'll wash the windscreen coz it's filthy" and proceeded to watch as the windscreen froze in front of my eyes?! In my defence, I hadn't realised it was THAT cold...:o
