    hey, just noticed that crap went thru swear filter!
    I thought we couldnt say that!

    It changes from time to time. Usually under the pressure of ridicule.

    There was a time when you could say ar·se , but not as·s .

    Why as·s is banned - I'll never know...

    What the hell posesses them to buy that stuff, its
    not cheap either! The guy I saw yesterday, the one who told me I was a "skinny witch" had a chain around his neck that must have cost a bomb. Makes you wonder where the money comes from though as I dont think they are all high executive earners somehow:rolleyes:

    Well he may just have the gold-coated silver ones. They look the same apart from when they wear and they need re-coating.

    Apparently packets of Rolos sell well to such charvas...

    I'd take the attitude that it's best under supervision - but if any one of them plays up, then it all goes dry instantly - dryer than a Mormon convention in the Gobi desert.

    Very apt as we have a large Mormon temple nearby....:rotfl: :rotfl:
    I once did this with dd1, she had mates over and i bought 1 bottle of wkd! It was quite a large one and went in about 5 mins, i told them there was no more....totally uncool mum i was-but i wasnt bothered.:cool:

    Oh and KEREN- that pearl drops whitening paint is rubbish, just looks like you have been eating a glitter glue pen. And it puts a weird coating on your teeth that you can feel with your toungue.

    :confused: have I missed something???????

    When I was 14 or 15 Johnson and Johnson brought out one of the first fake tans that was available - it cost a bloody fortune (around £15 if remember and that was 1984) and it was only available in House of Fraser (ooh, get me, so posh then!).

    I put it on my legs. God, I was so, so, lucky I didn't put it anywhere near my face. It went bright orange after an hour or so and very, very streaky. I sat in the bath scrubbing my legs for ages, but it didn't make a difference. Awful stuff. Bloody awful stuff.

    Luckily 'ecru' tights were all the rage so I wore tights. I could still see it through it though. :rolleyes:

    Look like this:

    And he'll come over all hot and heavy.

    He might even want to share a tab...

    :rotfl: :rotfl: Z, you nutter, God, sharing tabs I have actually done that. My best friend and I used to get one tab and a match for 5p at local shop and share it when we were about 15:rotfl: Thankfully I didnt get addicted, how much is it for a pack of 20 now anyway?
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    I just had this image in my head-other ,the chavvy ones of a hen, with gold jewellery, and one of those hats on:rotfl: :rotfl: ,
    I also have to laugh as the moomins are going around door to door again.:cool:

    You're not there to be a cool mum, you're there to be a responsible one. If they've got complaints - tell them to go to the pub...
