Four weird habits ::

Let's not bring them up again ... they're here! *blushes*

* Do you think I can conjugate mémé like that and get away with it?

**Conversation about the foot of snow
Me ~ wow, really?
Mum ~ Yeh, it's up to the top of the bird table, from the tray.
Me ~ Gosh, take pictures Mum!
Mum ~ We don't have a film for the camera!
Me ~ Isn't it time you got a digital camera?
Mum ~ oh no, that's very modern and you never get any photos!
Me ~ *~#&£$# !!

I'm first, I'm first!

I LOVE Shawshank, one of my all time favs. I also try to NEVER miss Extreme Makeover Home Edition, love that show, cry like a baby lol.

Hey, thanks for the mention. I'm still taking pics of Barnaby, some you won't want to see cos they're a little naughty-ish (and no, there's no naked flesh shots or anything that rudie!)

Had to laugh at your Mum with the digital camera thing. I felt like that a long time, but I have to admit, digital is a lot easier to store, than all the real live snapshots!

Have a great day Jo :)

Oh Jo you are soooooo a teacher rofl
Re: the camera, my mum now has a digital camera and a laptop and has no idea how to use either.She takes photos until the memory card is full then brings it to me and I have to put them on a cd, then she takes them to asda for printing.

Lisa, you're right 1st and 2nd! I really don't know what to do about Mum and the camera ... I feel a present coming on!

Steve ~ I just can't help myself ... you should see me around mis-spelt graffiti!

Fizzy ~ onion gravy, yum! No snow here to speak of but very, very cold! The gritters were out at school chucking out time!

Thanks all ~ Jo x

I miss Never Mind the Buzzcocks! Has Mark Lamarr still got that quiff?

Your Mum's right about digital cameras never having photos. My photo albums stop at 2002 which just happens to be the same year we got a digital camera.

Love Shawshank Redemption - one of my bestest movies ever too.
