Thanks Spiro, yes I've got one of those - they are a tenner but I got it free on prescription a few years back :) They are brilliant and for ages I just used those but now I use Hedrin alongside it as it was taking too long to clear by the comb alone.

Thanks Lady D for the revision guides - I can see that he doesn't frequent the same clothing shops as Guy or Lucas then?!

Never actually read Wuthering Heights (yes I know Maud, I'm a heathen scientist!)

I read it donkey's years ago but couldn't remember it but then reread it once I'd watched Sparkhouse and loved it. I think it's one of those novels that actually holds more resonance once you're an adult and have a little more life experience.

And to be fair to the lovely Mr Standring, Prada or top to toe leather aren't the most practical attire for a man of the soil .

Hello people - long time no visit!!!

What's happening here?

Hi LadyV, good to hear from you! How are you? Whilst you're here, are you coming to our meet-up at the end of the month?

We have also been suffering from the dreaded nits....you get rid of them, then they're back a few weeks later in another outbreak - it's a never ending battle.

I also have recently got one of those Nitty Gritty combs (£7 off eBay) and have resolved to use it once a week after a hair washing from now on, to keep the little b*ggers at bay!!!

Hi LadyV! Tis RussianPony here - we remet on the anniversary party night!! Hope all is well with you?

I see what you're saying about Prada there LadyD, but surely leather is cleanable with a simple wipe-down?!

Hi Twiggggssssss!!!

Yes, I am coming to the meet up, at least I am planning to, unless you don't want me because I haven't been very studious at the moment.

I'm well - but ever so busy at the moment - it's never ending!!!! I am still avoiding doing the housework though....

'course we want you there :)

Hi TransylvanianVampiress aka RussianPony - are you STILL wearing your Halloween costume?

:)

Gah! The interweb ate my post.

LadyD's advice on how to be around the Colonel's mum is spot-on, I think. And I agree too that Wuthering Heights is probably best appreciated as an adult - I don't think it's a coincidence that teenagers generally see Heathcliff as swoony and romantic while adult women seem mostly to see him as a dangerous control freak.

And ugh and ::sigh:: to the hair pets. I've probably mentioned before that The Girl's first infestation happened in France, thereby adding considerably to my colloquial French vocabulary.

I think we had the I'm A Believer vid a long time ago. It pains me that it's a cover version and not the Monkees.

::very old emoticon::

Hope Twigboy is recovering.

Hello, LadyV, how great to see you!

I have to run again, though, now. BBL

Wot cheer, LadyVenetia!

Maud, Massive, hi!!!!!!!!!!!

Little present for you all....

Hullo, LadyV, nice to see you again .

I'm thinking Thorin needs a voucher for our current institution - his eyebrows need a good wax and his hair could do with a slight trim. His face could do with a soothing facial too, he looks a little windburned there.

Maud, given my penchant for a certain UWLCPDAwHT who could be said to demonstrate a certain level of control freakiness, I'm not quite sure I share your view on Heathcliff .

Hi, LadyD !!!! Lovely to see you too!!! Agree on the eyebrows and hair trim, but this is the colour corrected version of the face!!!

It pains me to say it, LadyV, but that gift is not a thing of beauty and a joy forever. At least, not when compared to some of the Academy's other cherished resources.

Yeesh . In that case, maybe a recommendation for a good moisturiser and a make up lesson on covering up redness would be in order!

Ah, LadyD, that's because you're still young enough to see something romantic in a controlling and jealous man who flies into uncontrollable rages, whereas my own predilections are entirely different. Ahem.

Ah yes Maud, I completely understand

Now I think I learnt from that latest blog that they are all being made up redder than normal, so that they look normal under the special 3D light conditions needed to film it I think

And yes, LadyV I've remained in my Halloween costume, as I prefer this new name and I remembered that I'm 25% Transylvanian vampire in RL anyway!!

Also what's the feeling about the strikes and the meet by the way?

He's not averse to a soupcon of jealousy, either is he, Maud?
