Ok Rule it is! Can't stop now but will be back later.

Have a good day everyone!

That's very odd what your h'dresser said about the purple - the one I used to have always faded to pink and it was very easy to get rid of if you didn't want it anymore. I had mine done over and over again for about 2 years. It was just a streak down my fringe though and it wasn't a very bright purple. That is a good idea about the clip-ins though. It was expensive to upkeep the purple.

I hope your night out happens and that there re no problems with DD!

Ii was looking at a more bluey purple so I guess there is a danger of it ending up looking a bit grey & murky perhaps.

I have now reached the stage of being so tragic I can even tell the difference between John Bateman and Lucas North just from a photo

Spiro, and don't you feel proud that the Man can do such a thing, become a whole different person without benefit of wig or special makeup? and look so darn pretty doing it

All the boys are so different, of course, but the Lucas/John differentiation is pure genius.

Twigs, ouch! That must be so painful. Naturally you need to call in the doctor to make you feel better:
Twigboy, you really ought to take better care of your mummy.

SupermassiveLBD · 01/05/2011 13:57

btw, Twigs, I don't see why you say you couldn't write a fanfic, your posts here are always great. Just imagine that's what you're doing, and fire away, as if you were recounting your latest exploit to us!

DumSpiroSpero · 01/05/2011 14:44

ts here are always great. Just imagine that's what you're doing, and fire away, as if you were recounting your latest exploit to us!

That's a method I'd probably best not apply to any future works if mine! Wink

Grin Same principle though, Spiro. You are recounting some incident and trying to convey the realiity of it to your reader

PassTheTwiglets · 01/05/2011 18:14

Massive, I could write a fanfic (I did enjoy doing the little tiny bit I wrote earlier on our threads) but I didn't think I could write a vampire one. I think I could only do 'real', iyswim?

Oooh, Dr TRack, here is where it hurts! And here.... and here.... and OOOH HERE!!! :O

TheSmallPrint · 01/05/2011 18:32

Evening all, well I have had a lovely day just mooching and bbqing, very civilised Grin.

How is your cheek now Twigs? As a fellow sufferer of over enthusiastic hard headed kidlets, you have my every sympathy!

Watched the last episode of Spooks 8 this morning and now wondering whether it's too soon to watch 9? What do you think? like I don't know

SupermassiveLBD · 01/05/2011 18:48

I apologise for the misunderstand about the fanfic, Twigs. I don't think I could write a vampire one either, not being sufficiently up on vampire lore.

I should imagine in order to watch Spooks 9 you would need to be extremely brave, Small

TheSmallPrint · 01/05/2011 19:28

I've seen it already Massive, just wondered if it was too soon to watch it again. Or did you mean brave to watch the end and confirm that he is definately gone

SupermassiveLBD · 01/05/2011 19:39

What you said last, Small

It was very cruel of them to do it all that way..

PassTheTwiglets · 01/05/2011 20:29

Nothing to apologise for, Massive!

Small, go for it with Spooks 9 - it's only sad towards the end and he's soooooo pretty in it. Cheek is looking quite cool now - nicely purple! Though it does look like I've just put blusher on one side :)

SupermassiveLBD · 01/05/2011 20:47

Does your cheek match your hair now, Twiggy?

Shall I kiss it better, Twigs

So you have almost sold me on Spooks. 9 You just have to tell me what point I should stop watching, which episode would that be?

PassTheTwiglets · 01/05/2011 20:56

at that pic!!! (no pun intended) :o

My fringe isn't purple these days, Massive - too expensive to upkeep :(

SupermassiveLBD · 01/05/2011 21:06

He does indeed look delicious in that, which is from Spooks 9 so I am seriously tempted now.

What about those hair mascara things that were all the rage at one time? Are they as rubbish as I imagined them to be?

LadyVenetia · 01/05/2011 21:10

Hello!!!

SupermassiveLBD · 01/05/2011 21:14

Hi Lady V, what have you been up to?

LadyVenetia · 01/05/2011 21:43

I've been out for a lovely day at a National Trust property - and a visit to friends beforehand. I've also been to the gym, so am feeling worthy about that - 5th time in 6 days. Trying to get back in the groove before I go back to work on Tuesday when it will be much tougher to go.

LadyVenetia · 01/05/2011 21:44

How about you massive?

SupermassiveLBD · 01/05/2011 21:52

I am fine, just a quiet family day here, went for a walk in the spring sunshine, etc Followed in the evening by the dreaded footie on the TV for the menfolk and MNing and general surfing for me.

I just found the website of one of the set designers for the RH series, lots of sketches, stills and even some film clips. Here Have you seen it? Great for fanfic writers to block out the action.

LadyVenetia · 01/05/2011 22:16

What a fantastic find, massive - I have never come across that site before - I wonder how long it has been there - do you mind if I post this elsewhere, if it hasn't been posted before?

SupermassiveLBD · 01/05/2011 22:21

No of course not, Lady V, post away! I was thrilled myself, just found it tonight by accident, when I was trying to find some pics of medieval manors.

SupermassiveLBD · 01/05/2011 23:26

So has anybody seen this one before?

And here's one for next time Maud pops in!

SupermassiveLBD · 01/05/2011 23:33

Yes, I know this is gratuitious, but what the heck

Goodnight, all
