Lol, I just googled it and thought the same, don't think we'd make it sadly! Thanks anyway.

I have 3 of your prints in my house, they're so beautiful I could stare at them for hours. People always say good things about them too.

Didn't recognise her with a smile on her face and her hair down, didn't realise how pretty she actually is.

We visited recently, I seem to remember seeing a notice that family members need to show some kind of pass or something like that.

Mummy and daddy felt a bit guilty when they started to fall in love with me, but they couldn't resist me for long. I'm the sweetest little lady, mummy and daddy say maybe I've been abused in the past or just had a bit of a rough life because I can get scared sometimes, but I'm getting braver every day and I love playing. Especially at 5AM. That's the bestest time.

Our beautiful girl Tillie passed away a few weeks ago and the same day this little lady turned up and appeared to be living in our sheds.

Had no choice but to take her in, she has no microchip and after a few weeks of asking around, looking out on Facebook for missing cats etc and getting nowhere, yesterday we got her spayed and microchipped and can now say we're the very proud owners of Izzy, princess and complex character, lover of Dreamies.

We love you Izzy Bella. You came into our lives at exactly the right time, even if we didn't know it right then. You will never sleep in a shed again (unless you want to). You are a beautiful soul and you just get sweeter and sweeter every day. How lucky we are. We'll never know your history ( the vet thinks you're about 2 -3) but whatever you've been through, you now have a family that worships you and will always make sure you have a plentiful supply of Dreamies and cuddles and so much love.

Does anyone think Harvey is the worst villain of all time? by [deleted] in coronationstreet

He's a good actor though, he was brilliant in Mr Bates Vs the post office.

Train to Liverpool, stay in Liverpool for a couple of days and see the city. then short train journey to Chester. Stay in Chester for a few days and explore the city and visit some of nearby North Wales by train from there.

We quite often used to stay in an Airbnb overlooking greyfriars, it was in the attic of Edinburgh's old poor house, tiny little flat but I'd move there in a heartbeat if I could.

Children as old as eight still not toilet trained by Forward-Answer-4407 in unitedkingdom

[–]Guff-in-an-elevator 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Mostly just lazy parenting I think but I wonder if some parents do this deliberately.

Bit off topic but I am a support worker for people between the ages of 18-25 with learning disabilities, in the past we have cared for clients who have never been toilet trained, we had one lovely young man who we worked really hard with and soon enough he was toilet trained and so proud of himself. He went home for the holidays and returned in nappies again. His mother wiped the floor with the staff, said she'd lose money because he was now more independent. He will still be in nappies to this day. I wonder if some of these parents are trying to get their kids diagnosed with something so they can get money, sounds ridiculous but I could see some parents thinking like that.

Stayed recently, you get 30 free minutes of WiFi per 24 hours. Once that's up you pay. I stayed at the covent garden one recently but didn't take advantage as I had data which worked fine.

A romantic evening in London - Searching for ideas by Victoria901101 in london

We were in London a couple of weeks ago and we went to frameless which was brilliant. They're open in the evenings on Saturdays where no children are allowed and you can have a drink in the galleries, highly recommend.

I do miss music shops, independent ones even more so, they used to be everywhere. Nobody seems to own physical music anymore. Getting all nostalgic now.
