    What is it with all the crud they keep advertising for Mothers day FFS.........Military wives, Westlife etc........I would imagine you would hate your mother to give her something like that! :eek::eek:

    Mothers day like Valentines is just another day with a name for the shops to sell off loads of tat or try to with their desperate ads :rolleyes:

    Military wives indeed! I would never speak to mine again if they bought me that.
    I'm not impressed by the whole concept of it anyway, its just a way of re-marketing reject out of fashion productions in my opinion. As for the poor me badly done to boo hoo element they can shove it. Being a soldiers wife is not something to be pitied, and being a soldier isn't either.

    Yes. You should get one just in case. And one of those things that tosses bulls away from the car :D

    What do the snow tyres look like?
    The Cow Catchers are still available but expensive.

    This is a Winter Tyre, the tread has to be able to let the water pass through pretty fast, unlike most ordinary tyres, and the deep wide gaps grip snow or mud, and of course anything else, that why they are so much better at breaking all year round.

    Sighs..................how different we are............I saw the romance, the charm, the allure of the younger woman, the seduction by an older man, the sheer joy of the forbidden..................perhaps I read too widely. :o:o

    Or maybe you mix in unsuitable company?

    as ever, barked a lot, ran around in circles even more, knocked the laptop over several times in an attempt to get into it:rolleyes::D:D she's very hairy at the moment so all we can really make out is a big, black ball of fluff, mostly in blurred motion:D...dafty:D..having to negotiate visiting rights for the summer..

    So sweet - I can imagine our dogs trying to get inside the laptop, it must be mystifying for them.

    I'm not.....nor do I have any intention of doing so. :D

    Thankfully my children would know that none of oft advertised dross would thrill me! I'd rather have some daffs or tulips than most of the 'specially for Mother' marketed stuff.

    Or just generally 'Underwear for Tarts'.

    You would never get dog dirt out of that. It looks very good actually, providing it is equally suitable in the summer. What is the price difference?

    The exact opposite. Could be taken as a bad thing because it means a complete lack of drive or ambition and if everyone was like that bug ’rall would get done.

    ooh had to fast forward my krul to comment on this.

    It also works the other way. Every one has the drive and ambition they'll be no do'ers left..

    Seemingly in the job market there is no room for the guy who just wants to knuckle down and earn his crust. Everyone has got to be or is expected to be, on the career ladder:mad:

    I think they are cheaper usually, might leave mine on for the summer, they are a bit noisier than normal tyres, but i don't ravel fast, they are made for bad weather so best change at end of march if you travel fast in the summer.
    I was going to change my normal tyres as i don't like worn ones for the winter anyway.

    Although my car has anti-lock brakes and traction control and 4 wheel drive, it's all only any good with the right tyres on, so if you have worn tyres it's all wasted because there won't be any grip.

    You defo should have put in for BB, you could wave to us and we'd keep you in, and vote for you to do the tasks, and you could be on the TV asking for a chance in life as an underwear model.:D

    None of the Balders clan ever send or expect any thing other than a card and a basic pressie for special occasions.

    Unlike some. I read somewhere that people were spending upwards of £10K for Chrimbo. We are talking "normal" people here not celebs or Royals.


    Easter must be comimg. Ma Balders give me a bag of hot cross buns:D

    Easter AKA the great chockie rip off. We 'll be getting the usual mega bars of Asda choc again none of these £10 eggs with about a little bars worth of chockie in them.


    whoo I love the smell of rantage in the afternoon:mad::mad:

    Why is the Alan Titchmarsh (AT he calls himself, TIT i call him) show so DULL? He asked Mary Berry "What started you off cooking?" " Are people nervous to ask you for dinner" and "how come you're not fat? " (re-worded):yawn: Oh and she would have poached eggs as her last meal, apparently ZZZZZ

    It's not spending the money on these things thats the trouble. It's buying them around the time of special occasions when the price is tripled or more

    They would be ideal for you then, if you only go up to 50, i love going at 50 but often it's difficult on the motorway, you would notice the difference on a long journey though.

    I'm sure you would have had a fine time, and just think what you would be doing now?, just think, i wonder.

    I preferred him before he took his gardening gloves off, i suppose he moved up the ladder, too cold outside.
