Would really like a celtic upper arem band. I do not like hubbys tatoo, much to big, covers the whole upper arm and all around it. Its a work of art, but its pinhead from hellraiser. :evil:

If it's not open to public view then why would you have it :wink:

Just because something isn't on show, doesn't mean it can't make you feel good to have it, or be appreciated by those who do see it. I'm sure many of us ladies go out in nice undies - not on show but still feels good to know you're wearing them....

Probably going to regret that comparison, but hey...:oops:

Hi cwagner,
Have a look at ski horizon's website and you may be able to get some accommodation in France for a reasonable price, though not sure what the availability will be like this late on. They tend to price things per apartment, rather than per person so with five of you this could work out to be very reasonable, even with flights and car hire. Sadly, they seem to be more limited for accommodation in other countries.
Have look and see what you think. :D

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed how much the TO brochure prices have shot up since this time last year? The hotel we normally go to in Sauze has nearly doubled in price and we are now looking at over £700 per person for a week in January if we want to go back (we only paid £800 PP for a fortnight this year!) :shock: I realise the exchange rate is bad, but this seems a little steep. :twisted:

Considering somewhere new for next year, possibly Austria or Switzerland, ‘though daren’t book anything yet as I finish Uni in October and as yet, don’t have a job lined up. Also hoping the prices may come down a bit if the TOs panic that nobody is booking, or failing that, may look at the DIY option.

My step sister is a tattoo artist (or so she calls herself.) Some of the designs are very clever and would look great on a wall, but seeing them etched into her leg and back just makes me cringe.

I'm sure she's going to run out of space to doodle on soon and will seriously regret it in later life!!!
It's such a shame as she used to be very pretty (think slim 6ft blonde) but has totally ruined her body with this and numerous piercings.

Still, each to his (or her) own I suppose. :roll:

I think I picked the wrong course :( - I seem to remember doing 7+ hours per day, let alone per week :shock: Are you doing an economics degree, or is this part of something else? )

I should be writing a presentation for tomorrow but as usual am getting happily sidetracked on J2Ski instead

I'd love a dog but I'm not allowed as OH isn't an animal person and we are both out all day. My dream is to have a basset hound (called Shirley, or maybe two called Liquorice and Allsorts - don't ask!!) though I don't think it's going to happen any time soon. Also keep threatening to catnap my mum's moggy though don't think I'll get away with that one either )
