Yesterday I repeatedly walked within 5 metres of David Cameron :-\

ETA - This really isn't good news, I was just cack handed and posted in the wrong thread! Should have been here... Login

Chutney is so-christened because she is mango-coloured!  :thumbsup:


I lurve mango! :)

Perhaps not so much for the colour, but I'm feeling hungry now...

I had a pm from a forumite saying he's coming to Edinburgh.

Is this a sign that your psychic's prediction that you would have a fling with an unsuitable man?!

Mrs T did her first solo ride(for a long long time) yesterday, 3 miles each way to her mates and back.  The back bit was even in the dark!

I have a plan to get her riding more, including some family trips, she'll have the easy bit as I'll be the one lugging the extra weight of a 4 1/2 yr old!

She did say she enjoyed it, even though her best mate + hubby-to-be fell about the floor laughing when she turned up on the bike, wearing her bike helmet :)

The company that does the repairs & maintenance on my complex of flats is going to redo the insulation on my loft space  :thumbsup:

I've now got to clear 17 years worth of junk out of the loft in preparation  :(

No, just lots of dusty cardboard boxes, a couple of antique PC's and a load of spare bike bits!   I may need to have a "Free to good home" thread in the classifieds forum
