Goes without saying, a girl of my stature needs heels 

I finally grouted the plate tonight, here's a few shots of it.  I just hate that some of the tiles look black when they are not, it's just the way the light is hitting them.

Brilliant!

Pirate you post some great stuff

Really lovely Cinds 

I would buy that if I saw it for sale somewhere  

Really? 

Mr C has said the same thing, I thought he was just being nice.

No, its gorgeous - its like something from 1920's Paris. I love that style.

F**king cyclists

We're in London, what a journey! Young lady (using the term loosely) sitting opposite us was unbelievable. She popped in some chewing gum and proceeded to chew it like a cow on E chewing the cud, horrible.  I was cringing when they served us food, imagining being covered in her chewing spray.  Then she must have took at least 150 selfies during the course of the journey. She obviously thought she looked great, in reality she just looked like a self absorbed idiot.

…and you did not take a photo of her so we could see the horror story for ourselves?

The following clip just appeared on tonight's edition of "The Last Leg".

Keep an eye on the tail...

So so sweet 

I love meerkats 

Me too ......my little Jack has got the new Meerkat baby - his Dad got insurance with Compare the Market.

I can't wait for my insurance renewal to come up     

My Dad loves meerkats too... he's 87 and he has loads of meerkat ornaments... six of the garden ones dotted about his living room, god love him 

Brilliant....    I've felt like that in work some days...

I love the 'alert' expression when it falls over and wakes itself up.  

Unlucky No.7 pictured while training on the evening of her accident. It seems she overcooked a flip – so instead of descending the wall of the half-pipe on her skies she plunged face first straight into the basin.

Less than 2 weeks after my crash & my face is nearly fully healed! Head and back still not 100% but I'm getting there

That tweet fails to mention the nose fracture and on-going treatment for concussion.

Rowan and her mother appeared on BBC Radio Stoke on Friday morning to discuss Rowans Olympic experience. Hopefully she won’t get carried away by this media frenzy…

Oh my biggest hate is hearing someone eat/chew.... Even if they're not that loud, i swear it stems from my younger brother doing it deliberately

I can't even eat a meal with my family at the dining table without some sort of back ground noise

I've got a garden one in my front room too. Mr Woo got it as a birthday gift - I can't bear to put him out in the cold so he's on top of the piano (with a hedgehog that I can't bear to put out either)

I think i need to make my daughter clean her room more often.... look what she just brought down....

How pretty is this?

 ROFL Thats brilliant Ells 

I'm just back from a couple of days in hospital. Was just supposed to be a night to check my breathing machine, but I took a wobbly, my blood pressure dropped down to 90 over 60, drip and all that. Short and long of it, I was taken to the creme de la creme wards in Derriford (heart specialist). It's like a first class hotel. Views over the moor, 4 to a ward, on suite, nurses on tap. What a difference a floor makes. Anyway, back home, my favourite cat beside me.

28 dead and 113 injured after gang of knife-wielding men attack a train station in China

 Hope you are feeling better after your wobbly.

Awwwwwww .........hope you're feeling much better now,

Sometimes nice to have a change of secenery though ...............what was the food like?

Carp. Some things just don't change.  I have a secrete weapon called daughter, she supplies me with food whenever I have to go in, either homemade or junk from McDonalds.

Sorry you were in hospital Cologne. Hope you'll be ok  

Thank you Roger

Col good to see your doing ok now.

Col, I must be such a terrible cook....my eldest used to LOVE staying in hospital because he thought the food was lovely.

He's the same with airplane food.

Glad you are home now and on the mend 

Just thinking i should mention that that new paper was from under the floor boards and hasn't been hanging around my daughters room since 1988!! Well it kind of has but you know what i mean

When we first moved in here we stripped the paper in the bathroom to find that it had previously been papered in newspapers.  Some were pretty ancient (to us) but they were readable and I spent ages looking at all the news stories and ads before having to get rid of the lot.

Just back from my nephews 7th birthday party! shattered.

Oh my childrens birthday parties are very tiring, I'm glad the Boy is too old for them now.

We've finally made it home after an epic journey of engine fires, rescue locomotives and many train changes.  But what was great was, we ended up sitting opposite the same two ladies all of the way home, and it ended up being rather pleasant.
