Hi Insaniacs, I am very happy now you have cleaned out my corner, I have my I.V. Tanker of Voddy and a crate of chocolate....not to mention Padders!
Very cross with WK for trying to lure him away....so I have locked HJ in the dungeon downstaies and they can talk through the bars....I have posted the key to Sweetsong so she can decide when to let him out

I am digusted that you lot don't remember decimalisation, my pocket money went from 8 old pence to 3 new pence, so I lost out it should have been 4 new pence! huh that's parents for you.

When and where is the party I still have my 70's gear so am ready and waiting!

Here gerby-gerby! Come and eat one of these tasty little treats I've brought for you. I call them "Gerbinides" - gerbil food with a hint of cyanide.

I only have eyes for my Steggy [saintly emoticon]

My Steggy is balding, grey haired and paunchy ...

RTKangaMummy · 09/01/2005 18:27

so not much diff to my DH or paddders

MrsSteg · 09/01/2005 18:28

He's still the light and love of my life though .

Because inside there's nothing grey about him at all.

RTKangaMummy · 09/01/2005 18:30

actually DH isnt greying he is grey and bald but soft fluffy on top too IYKWIM

Very distinguished

MrsSteg · 09/01/2005 18:33

Mine has very little on top, his receding hairline has just about met the bald spot at the back. He's still got quite a bit at the back and sides ... but he's as grey as a badger. He tried to grow his beard back over Christmas, but was most disgusted to find that that's now grey, too.

RTKangaMummy · 09/01/2005 18:39

SNAP DH used to hace a comb over but it was so funny when he saw it in photo and it was on windy day and it was standing upright

now has it short and fluffy what little there is

he has grey mautache

when he grew beard years ago it was white.

MrsSteg · 09/01/2005 18:42

A comb-over? Nooooooo!

We once saw a guy who had a comb-over (just a few strands), but he had then plastered his head with black boot polish - looked OK from a distance, but when we got closer we could see that it had dried and cracked in the heat!

I nearly fell on the floor in hysterics on the spot, dh had to hold me upright - it was all I could do not to weep with laughter.

RTKangaMummy · 09/01/2005 18:46

he did have quite alot though

I teased him and said it looked like cow pat

it was really thick and brown

now it is fluffy and short and is heaps better

RTKangaMummy · 09/01/2005 18:46

pmsl at boot polish

MrsSteg · 09/01/2005 18:49

I nearly did too!

MrsSteg · 09/01/2005 19:04

I'm trying to convince dh that he should have his cut even shorter - he still has quite a lot of length at the top and back, and with what dd calls the "hole in his hair", he might be better off having a number 2 all over. I'm working on it ...

Ah! How sweet "short and fluffy" sounds like my Voddy sniffing Gerbil

Now my Gerbil needs a name before it has an identity crisis...I am not sure if it is a boy or girl as I feel it would be a bit personal to look, IYKWIM

it used to have a 'comb over' before I took it to the gerbil coiffeur centre....do you think that means it is a him not a her???

OP posts:
MrsSteg · 09/01/2005 19:09

Got to be a him ...

One of the gerbs at dd's nursery school was called Herbal ... how about that?

Bunglie · 09/01/2005 19:11

Herbal...Hmmm, I asked him and he said that makes him sound like something you might smoke! Not sure what he means but he is a very intelligent gerbil and does not need batteries, I just put the key in and wind him up and off he goes....a lot easier and not so messy

Oh and KM he says can he please check your pouch for contraband

MrsSteg · 09/01/2005 19:50

I'm very, very worried that not only do you talk to your gerbil, you actually hear him talking back.

Just have one of your special tablets, dear, and I'll call a nurse for you.
