I got my entire vinyl record collection back from my Mum's yesterday. I had an amazing night going back through all my old records. I found all the hand drawn flyers I did for a local rock night, too.

 

That being said, anyone want to buy Skeletal Family's entire back catalogue? LMAO...I was such a dodgy goth. :roll:

:lol:

 

I went through the Goth stage, even though I didn't like the music :oops: I also went through the rocker stage, and worse lots of leathers drenched in petunia oil :lol! and silver studded leather strap bracelets, and even one for my neck :-o

 

But vinyls are beautiful huh? Two of my favourite vinyls that I owned were a Meatloaf picture vinyl, and a 45 vinyl by ELO, that was the most stunning shade of purple!

even a huge storage room that she can use for all his meds and to keep his special pushchair in!

 

If the room is just for his use, she may get a council tax discount. This is nothing to do with her income.

Oh bless you Nystagmite! You really are so helpful :oops:

 

Although I doubt the room will be just for his use - but I do have another friend who's 18mth old daughter has downs syndrome, but she also has other problems (not quite sure what though), and she has a room that is solely for her use, so I will certainly be passing this on, thank you! It's a very complicated condition is downs syndrome, because my other friend, her cousin had a boy with downs a few years ago, and he doesn't seem to have any real problems other than with his eyesight. He's quite the smart genius too!

Haven't been on holiday since I met my Mrs 17 years ago. Her and the kids have had a few, but nothing special. I decided this year to go with them and saved up what pennies I could. I was going to go in October/November when it is cold here, and you get the benefit of warmer climates. I have had a few bad months lately and seen a good offer for Lanzarote, and I thought 'Sod it', and booked. We are going all inclusive for 10 days on the 19th of this month.

 

Happy Days.:-D

 

 

Knowing my luck though. We will get back and we will get told it was roasting here and Lanzarote would have had a bad couple of weeks of rain.:|

 

 

If all else fails, kick them where it hurts and SOD'EM;)

Today is my parents 25th wedding anniversary. The scary thing is, mum was only 7 months older than me when she got married.

 

Awww! Send them my Congratulations!

Congrats to your parents Nys, and Sod'em - have a great time. Whatever the weather it'll be a good break, and quality time with Mrs S and all the little Sods. (I'm sure they're lovely really). :wink:

 

What made me smile was someone I hadn't seen for a while saying "Blimey Caro I didn't recognise you from behind. Haven't you lost some weight!!"

 

I took it as a compliment although I'm not quite sure what she was implying about my behind!! :p

Patchouli oil? I wore so much of it even the records stink of it, and I wish I was joking! When my daughter came downstairs she said "Ugh, what on earth is that smell? It's smells like something electrical is on fire". No wonder Goths have no mates, eh? :lol:

 

Oh, I love them. I found my limited edition "Machine Gun Etiquette" by the Damned on blue vinyl, no less. All I need to do now is buy a record player! LMAO

I'm glad you like it. It's the expression on the fox's face that cracks me up. And she keeps on looking for it.

 

One other thing, duckwaddler, which is making me smile a bit, is that they got the burglar - good - but not my jewellery - sad. But I'm not giving up hope on that yet. Can you believe it was a woman! She has pleaded guilty to my burglary and 13 others. She says she threw the jewellery away but I don't believe that. Why would she when she could get money for it? I hope they get your friend's burglar soon too.

Well they only have mates of their "own kind" :lol:

 

Seriously though, the friends I had then, some 32yrs ago were amazing! And a few of them, even if it's 10yrs, I can still call them and we pick up were we left off! One of them even has their own coven!

I don't believe it. Anyway the search goes on.

 

This morning when I came back from school I saw a man lurking outside a neighbour's house further up the road. I watched him for five minutes then got out of my car, opened the boot just to bring attention to myself and took a good look at him. He immediately walked off. I went to warn my neighbour and tell her what had happened to me because I hadn't been able to see her in the past 10 days and she actually spoke to the woman who burgled my house, probably on the day I was burgled or maybe earlier that week. She saw her outside the house and went out on some pretext and spoke to her and the woman went away. It was definitely the same woman. I am thinking it is her accomplice watching my friend's house and I am going out regularly to check on what is going on. My friend now has the house blazing with lights.

 

Please, everyone, if you have a door with any kind of glass panels try and get it replaced if and when you can afford it. Otherwise, make sure you double lock even when you are in the house. There are very nasty people out there. :mad2:

There's a new tv show started on the BBC of a morning, it's called "robbed, raided and reunited" - and that's how one of the victims were broken into, they just smashed the glass on her front door! :-x

 

Like I say, I have been robbed twice, but that was when I'd first left home - but I've seen first hand what this can do to people! My Nana was robbed twice, the first time she was in bed asleep during the night, and ended up in hospital with a heart attack a couple of days later, the second time she was out, but had some things that were of great sentimental value taken - she never got over it, and had a stroke a couple of months later and died :-(

 

These people out there who think they can just see something and help themselves to it make my blood boil! :mad2:

 

I remember one young so and so saying to me "if I see something, and I want it, I'll just take it"! Mind you, his own Mother said that thieving gave a "buzz" - so I suppose he didn't know any better really :roll:

 

Keep your eyes peeled DD! Karma will catch up with them, you'll see :hug:

Thanks, duckwaddler.

 

I will look out for the show. Sounds like my burglar could be one of the stars. :evil:

 

It's dreadful for anyone to be robbed but I am so sorry about your poor, poor Nana. As much as I am upset it's better that it was me rather than my 94-year-old neighbour. She wouldn't have opened the door and like your grandmother she'd probably have died of the shock. It makes my blood boil too. :mad2:

 

Years ago I was temping at a criminal solicitor's office and honestly you should have read the list of offences they all had - and that was about 25 years ago. Most of the ones done for stealing cars said it gave them a "buzz".

 

I'm sure you are right about Karma. Wouldn't it be nice if we could sometimes actually witness the Karma?

I have witnessed Karma on many many occasions - in fact someone who has had it coming for a long time is experiencing Karma like you couldn't imagine right now :-D

 

But you can be assured, whether we hear about it or not, they get it - I mean, it can't be nice being living in the head of someone like that? What misery they must have to endure day in and day out :!:

Seeing the photographs of my friends new mahoosive 5 bedroomed house! My Little Godson was in the garden in one of them - and he looked like he was standing in the middle of a park :lol:

 

She's got a water butt, and a compost compressor too! It has those vents that looks like shutters too, I'm not sure what they're for (I think it's something to do with better air quality) - but it is humungous!! And a real state of the art eco house!

 

It's really funny - every time I speak to her, we just sit on the phone grinning, getting all excited like two teenagers :lol:

 

I can't wait for the warm weather, we have a BBQ planned, and then when the kids are in bed we're going to sit and have a game of cards on her veranda, which is huge by the way!

 

It actually looks like a house you'd get abroad! I'm over the moon for her!

I find that the phone works better if you talk rather than grin:)
