    Haribo - I really feel JoeyEmma thought you were the bloke. :D But obviously too kind to say so. :rotfl:

    I've always been pretty much OS. An example from my mother, due to necessity more than anything. I suppose I've led by example to my own daughter.

    Of course you can mention bread CM. It's much more pleasant than pooey eggs from Mouse. :rolleyes:
    Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia. ;)


  • Getting there with OH slowly!!! Had a "yess!" moment the other day - I have been saying for at least two years in winter "if you're cold put a jumper on" when he was sitting there in a t-shirt. He went round his son's house and I called him on his mobile while he was there, just in time to hear him telling his son off for having the heating on high and wandering round in a t-shirt. I knew I'd get there eventually!!!!!

    i have a friend who i have given instructions on how to make roast potatos (instead of aunt bessies) and gravy (instead of buying in pots from the chiller cabinet), does this count.
    Dogs return to eat their vomit, just as fools repeat their foolishness. There is no more hope for a fool than for someone who says, "i am really clever!"

  • Sorry...I don't recall Queenie entitling this thread "Extract the urine from Haribo" :p

    Sorry for the off topic post Queenie but I'm happy to take the rap for joeyemma thinking one of us was a fella. :DPink has always been a bit paranoid about her butch posting style. ;)




    >>>>Runs and hides from Pink and Queenie, though not necessarily in that order.<<<<<:D

    That's the second post today where someone has mentioned avatars. Why can't I see them on my pc? Someone said you can get them from MSE home page but I couldn't find them there either. Maybe I should get my OS magnifying glass.
