Don't they? Glesga accent is good. Heard it on my soft southern TV. Can't be doing with Bearsden (sp) though, or an Edinburgh accent.

Shall I go and hide now?

Your dh has just joined the legions of Scottish husbands who no longer see their wives on a regular basis. I think MN is why the Scottish birthrate is dropping

Edinburgh, with a hint of Jimmy Nail.

RTL, not as often as I'd like to be! I have to go out to work 3 days a week (drat) but am here most evenings. And during the day I usually have a window open and pop in now and then. Sad but true. I was up for hours last night thinking about that nutty thread before I finally fell asleep!

Apologies to any Borders folk. But in my defence, my dad was from there, and I have even inherited the blue-white complexion.

I'm not allowed to use the internet at work. Just as well really considering my addiction! 3 weeks? And you are still working? Wow!

Mind you s'pose, it's cheaper than being addicted to eBay. My dp banned me after I bought a Porsche on eBay. Honest to god, a combination of wine and complete craziness and before I know it, I?d bid on and won a f*** red porche!!!

Have to admit though it was only a kit car so didn?t have to sell the house or anything!!!

But what if you're addicted to MN and eBay?

myturn · 18/09/2005 22:53

Thought I was being extravagant buying a digital camera the other day for £41!!!

Myturn, with a 20 month I think it is easier to be ?at work? surfing than at home mumming

Ah yes, definately. Had 15mths between my first 2 and my second 2 - not the easiest thing in the world!!

sparklymieow · 18/09/2005 22:59

Porsche parked outside, not used. Pretty hard with the biggest bump in the world, I would need a bloody crane to get me out. Well I suppose it is a soft top, so should be able to winch me out!

Paolosgirl ? what do suggest for a double addiction?
