I'm with you on the Kardashians and the child abuse cases...I'm haunted by one particular case that was in the media recently. I'm seriously considering giving up newspapers and news bulletins to save my blood pressure - don't suppose I'd miss anything but can I do it?

Iam64 totally with you there, but also to put things back to a light hearted thingy, stripping wallpaper is v. satisfying, a bit like peeling sunburn?

OK, I'll save you the bother! Yuk emoticon!

(Bet you don't like squeezing spots and blackheads either!)

Tee hee !

Don't want to derail a light hearted thread, but I have to add, I hope I don't see in 2014 several case reviews, all saying exactly the same thing that 'went wrong' and a child was killed by his/her parents.

All of the above, plus the Kardashian family ( serves me right for reading the DM online).
And how can you not love stripping wallpaper and paint. I love it.

Snow!!! I couldn't leave my house for 8 days when we had the last lot.

Agree, Mollie. She's a bit of a twit, methinks.

Smug politicians caught out in expenses scandals. Couldn't they have learnt by now?

Famous people taking selfies.

Peeling wallpaper and paint. I'm emailing the decorator today

I did the opposite. Signed on at a job centre, got a job there and was then made redundant so had to sign on again sad.

No!

mollie Fri 27-Dec-13 20:20:47

And did she? Lol!

...unless you get a job there!!!.....

My DD went to a careers advisor who did lots of personality tests etc and said she should be...........a careers advisor!!

Darn! I spelt Miley wrong!

And Pheonix I hope so too...

Anne58 Fri 27-Dec-13 19:38:35

Agree Mollie.

But may I add that I hope I don't see the inside of the JobCentre too often in 2014!

any more photos of Mylie Cyrus sticking her tongue out or showing more body than is necessary! Not a good role model IMHO!
