Pierced nipples!
A lovely girl came to enquire about my spare room, it is turning into quite a saga isn't it, she looked as if butter wouldn't melt in her mouth, we sat in the living room sizing each other up and making conversation.....I was agreeing with her view on the fact that if someone says they are going to do something they should do it and she gave me an example of how hot headed she was sometimes....

I'm forever blowing bubbles
Well, I would be if my blinkin machine hadn't given up the ghost. I bought it secondhand years and years ago, my beautiful yellow bubble machine. It was my pride and joy. No-one elses bubbles could touch the beautiful big round bubbles it used to project into the air with gay abandonment.
