Ok just so everyone knows, my computer's been freezing lately and so it doesnt' acknoledge when I type sometimes and because I dont loko at the screen I pressed enter and the Thread was made with a random title :lol: It was meant to be Skins OT thread #1 b/c Spnvo's am in :lol: Sorry


How was school? Ah I bet it sucks, what do you even do there anymore? I dont remember school :lol:

Aww.. I knew Skinread was meant to be Skins Thread in some way :lol: :lol: Can't you edit the title? Edit>Go Advanced/Full Edit ??? It should show a proper edit section and you can change the title :lol:

LOL. School was rather crap today. I've got a different English teacher, and I thought she'd be pretty good, and I don't mind her, but over the summer, she must've inhaled a lot of helium b/c her effing voice has gotten VERY high pitched and the whole lesson it was getting on my nerves. I felt like throwing myself out the window >_>

She's gone a bit blonde as well (even though she's a brunette) 'cause she said to us "Have a good weekend guys!" which means we don't have English tomorrow; so when does she set us homework? For Friday 12th of September! At the end of the lesson, I was like -taps board- "You might wanna change that Miss, we don't have English tomorrow" and she's like "Oh. Oh yeah!" :lol: :lol: I wasn't gonna tell her any earlier though, I'm not extremely intelligent, but I'm no fool, if I told her she'd make the deadline earlier and everyone in the class would kill me >_>

But I'm extremely happy about some of my results - I got A in my Science exam, A* for my Chinese exam and C for my Drama. It kinda clashed against my A* on the results paper, but oh well =/ I said if I get C or above, I'd be happy, so I'm effing happy :lol:

Enough of my rambling, how about you, Pri? What d'you plan next? Uni? Work? Chill out? :lol:

Ok I'm gonna try after this :lol:

Your rant is the effin best, couldnt stop laughing :lol; Brilliant :D I loved it, awww well...erm, get a protest and get rid of her? I dunno lol

Well done, round of applause!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA :D :D :D :D Well done girly :D

Erm, well I'm getting a job now, that's the plan, but if i decide I made a mistake I'm gonna go to uni, but I see no point going this year if I'm not going for the right reasons. Sending off CV's atm though

Hehe, aww thanks Pri-Bear =]] Hehe, lysm :D

Oooh. What jobs you looking for?? Aw, I feel like a little kid now, you're off to get a job and I'm still stuck in the prison cell, pleasantly known as school >_>

:lol: we made our Bio teacher cry and run out of the lesson..another teacher turned out to be a perve webcamming us...another couldnt be bothered to teach us...school was fun :lol:

NP, you deserve it, mighty good grades :D

Well at the moment anything, experience is a problem for me and besides I have no referencesbecause no one will give me their adress :lol: But I'm going to call Beatties, HOuse of FRasier actually, and ask about a part time job at the jewellry department. The discount would be good and it's a good job, but it'd only part time so it's a bit of a problem. I'll def do it for a year if I get it though, sent off my Cv to receptionist jobs and will be going on jobcentre to look for more :lol:

Awww, trust me, you'll wish you were a kid when you were my age :D

ChrisCapulet
09-07-2008, 05:05 PM
LOL. In year 7, my English class made loads of teachers cry. The original teacher we had f*cked off back to Australia b/c she couldn't stand us, and every week we had a different supply teacher, and they kept changing b/c they simple couldn't stand us :lol: This guy who looked like an Undertaker came in tryna bang tables and we all just laughed. Aww.. blissful days of Year 7 :lol: :lol:

LOL. Discounts XD I don't actually know if we have a local job centre. If anything, I'm gonna be reading the local newspaper a lot when I hit the age of going to work..

:lol: I wish I was still 2 years old :tongue:

09-08-2008, 12:07 PM
:lol: Year 7 and causing trouble? Well we were in year 10 and 11, we had reason to make them cry, we were doing GCSE's they bored the hell out of us. Our Bio teacher was a cow anyways :lol: I didnt like her

Yeah I think it's better with newspapers, 'I look at the Express & Star because they advertise alot and they're local whereas JobSearch is so stupid :lol: I didn't get the job :/ I called, they put me through and said it had been filled alreayd so I slammed the phone on the sofa and cried inside :lol:

I wish I was 4, things were great at four. You start school, it's always the good classes and stuff, and you're so sweet and innocent, it's fun to be 4 :lol:

Guh my parent's laptop os really slow and doesn't have MSN or Itunes so I'm gonna go offline and go upstairs. It means no Sky but I can live with that :lol:

ChrisCapulet
09-08-2008, 12:36 PM
:lol: We've gotten worse over the years, but the teacher's have improved.. So meh :lol:

LOL. Really? Aww -huggles- I think newspapers are better than job centres, I'd feel awkward in the job centre and get all shakey.

Being in Nursery was the best, you didn't have to do anything. Just sit there drawing or saying the alphabet and getting biscuits and juice. In Year 4 I had an amazing year, our teacher was ill for like the whole year, we saw him for about 5 lessons. We had loads of supply teachers which changes constantly, and in the end, we just got split up to other classes. The IT room or working in the nursery was the best everrrrrrr :love: :love: I remember playing tug of war with the teachers working there after thrashing the little kids :lol:

Pri, gimme a shout on MSN, it won't lemme send my messages to you b/c you're offline :( Or are you really just offline :( ?

:lol: Dp teacher's really improve? I foudn them getting worse as I continued my high school time :lol:

I hate calling people and I had to call Beatties up and got all nervous. I dont mind talking usually but i hate the phone :lol:

Hehe year 4 our class burnt down because chavs through a brick with fire through the window. That was eventful :lol: We were on 999 Livesavers i tghink, somehting like that. They shwoed our classroom and they shower otr little drawers and there was mine :lol:

I agree! I'm always afraid of saying the wrong thing! The only time I'd ever really feel comfortable on the phone is with my friends or family :lol:

LOL!? That's hilarius :lol: A brick on fire.. Jesus :lol: Dangerous kids back then I see :lol:

Yeah same, I hate being all posh :lol: It's so horrible

Well they were smoking if I remember correctly and then put some tissue in the holes of the bricks and threw it and then it caught fire and yeah, it was only our class though :lol: Our generation invented chavs :lol: Nah I think we made them more popular though

Good, me either, unless I'm busy and forget I'm online and stuff. But never intentionally

Hey Priya, do you watch Gossip Girl? I see you have a Leighton av..just curious!

09-18-2008, 02:36 PM
Yeah i do indeed, wanted to see Josh's new project and i liked it. I see similarities to the Oc which i like as well :lol: Leighton is the shizzle, love Blair and her :lol:I haven't had time to watch epi 2 of the new season yet though :lol:

Alexa
09-18-2008, 02:58 PM
Yay!

Gossip Girl is great. I love the show. Blair is my favorite as well. I read the books before the show was even thought of being made though and in the books Nate was by far my favorite. Nate's slowly growing on me in the show. I love Chace Crawford though. Chuck as well. I didn't like him at first.

The second episode had some great moments..so far I've enjoyed the 3rd one the most I think of this season. I hope it gets better though..I feel like this season is starting off slowly.

the oc rocks!
09-18-2008, 02:59 PM
Chuck in the book annoyed me to be honest. in the show i love Ed Westwick. I think Ed is amazing. i would say i love his accent but he's got a Brit accent and i'm used to it :lol;

i spoilt muyself and watched the C/B scene, my fave couple. i melted at her holding his hand, his voice was so husky and sexy. Even i'd fall for him all over again :lol:

Alexa
09-18-2008, 03:10 PM
Chuck in the books annoyed me too! He was so different too. At the beginning he was kind of the same but later on. Dan annoyed me in the books too..all about his poetry and he was quite boring. Like him better on the show.

I love Chuck and Blair..I think now they are my favorite couple on the show. Serena and Dan are just annoying the heck out of me for some reason. I loved them to pieces last season now I'm like..just get over with it and move on and whatever! I still love them and I'm sure they'll end up together in the end anyway..there will be tons of obstacles ahead of them before that..

But that C/B scene was great! It was probably the best part of that ep :lol:

I kind of like Nate and Serena too.

the oc rocks!
09-18-2008, 03:16 PM
Pretty much the same :lol: I've never been a fan of Vanessa, in the show she's ok but still nto a fan. i love the actress though, she was great in What About Brian

I love S/D :lol: I think it's because they remind me of R/M and Blake and Penn remind me of Ben and Mischa so it's weird :lol: I guess it's ebcause i couldnt have one couple I'd made them into another couple :lol; But i prefer C/B for sure. i think Chuck is too irresistable :lol: They remind me fo S/S :lol: though I only liked S/S, i LVOE C/B :lol:

I like Chase, thik he's a hottie and terrific actor...I don't actually care for Nate which is weird because i loved him in the books. I like him in the hsow, just...I dunno. I think it's because they make him so...meh He doesn't do alot I think. I loved him when he asked Chuck if he slept with Blair. i thoguth that was an amazing scene from both actors. I dunno

I'm weird i know :lol:

Alexa
09-18-2008, 05:45 PM
Not weird. I feel the same way. I love Chace and all but as 'Nate' he's kind of boring. In the books he was more fun. The way he was written I loved it. He was always high eh. :lol:

And Vanessa is boring too..haha so Nate and Vanessa aren't exactly fun...but I don't MIND them

Now that you mention it I totally agree! S/D are kind of like Marissa and Ryan with less drama (as of now :lol:) I loved S/S more than C/B though I think

Oh I've never understood your brit's weird school system...over here we finish school and then go straight to university or whatever :lol: good luck with the job hunting though!!! what kinda job are you going for?

I actually read it as 'skinhead' instead of 'skinread' so yeah I think my head was going into some kind of dirty thoughts or something :lol: but I saw who started the thread and was like..well they wouldn't do that!

Edit: I just realized that you called me Alexa which I didn't even notice haha I'm so used to that now what with being on FB for almost 6 years. You can call me Lisa! :D

Haha that's funny, where did the name Alexa come from then?
You'll be Lisa from now on :)

I can't get over how different Vanessa in the show is from Vanessa in the books! The show version is far more boring than the book version, but then I guess Dan in the books always seemed more scungy than he is in the show too :lol: I love Dan and Serena together...I've actually only seen a few eps here and there cos the show is only on pay tv over here, so i only got to watch it when i was at the gym :lol: So i don't know the whole C/B thing very well, but I must say I love Ed Westwick as Chuck, I hated Chuck in the books but Ed manages to make him...charming

Alexa
09-18-2008, 08:59 PM
Alexa? Wow that goes way back :lol: I started using that nicname online in 2000...I don't remember why

Actually I always thought it was the movie "Wish Upon a Star" the main character played by Katherine Heigl's name was Alexia on there. I took the i out and liked the sound of Alexa better. After that I went by Alexa...when I joined FB I let everyone call me Alexa and didn't correct it, it was only last year or the year before where I finally told everyone my name was Lisa and everyone was like 'I didn't know that!? really?' haha

People got so used to it that they still sometimes call me Alexa even when they know my name. My online BFF I've been talking to for 6 years I only told her like during the 3rd year of our friendship. She had a hard time using the name Lisa, but she's right used to it now :lol:

I think that's what i loved, I was all for S/N in the books, but in the show I'm for D/S :lol; It's so random how my perceptions have changed. I love the show though

Guh her and Nate never stood a chance really bless them :lol: I do think Nate is getting a littlre more interesting now though :lol:

Hehe yeah, it's probably because i'm obssessed with the OC still :lol: I loved S/S but I personally grew a little tired of them and although I still loved them it was never near as much as I loved Ryan and Marissa. They're my first ever ship :D I love C/B more than S/S because they have more drama happening and they're not together all the tiem so we get more chasing. i think because S/S were settled tere was no drama and excitement. i still love them though :lol:

09-19-2008, 11:31 AM
Sorry fro the DP

Yeah school system is different, it's annoying :lol:

Basically we have to stay in education (the law was set just after i left school) until you're 18 and I went to college for my A levels anyways so everyone has to do a form of education til they're 18 and then they're free to do what they want. So basically while you go to college or UNi, we're going to Uni if we choose to :lol:

Alexa
09-19-2008, 04:19 PM
The OC is still in my heart. I recently re-watched 3 of the seasons not long ago...gosh Marissa went through everything..it's no wonder they ended up killing her. She really didn't have much left to do with her..but I was totally bummed that in the end R/M didn't end up together, like ugh. You know, they were the true OTP on that show. IMO at least. S/S were awesome, I totally loved them to pieces lol

C/B are more interesting than S/D it's very true, especially this season. I hate to admit it but lately seeing the scenes with S/D I'm all 'omg end already..' I don't know what it is I LOVE them and I love Blake and Penn they are a cute couple and all but it's like suddenly they aren't as fun as they were before...

That sucks about your school system. So you're in College now? How old are you? 18?

I didn't even go to College or University yet...Oh and I'm not done with highschool yet either :lol: Of course I had medical reasons for that but still..times passing by and I'm getting old-er! I have to start getting on with my life

09-20-2008, 12:05 PM
The Oc will always be my favourate show! It's the reason i joined so many forums to be honest so without it I wouldn't be here :lol:

See, I think they did prettyy much everything drama related but I couldnt' understand why they couldn't just send her off and let her be happy. It was bad enough R/M didn't end up together but to have her end in tragedy was a kick in the head really. I dunno what OTP means :lol; but I hop eit's positive?

Hehe i loved S/S too, i just grew tired of their lack of storylines. They had potential for some great storylines but nothing.Still i love them, I'm glad they ended tgether :)

:O :lol: Jk, I think it's because they, like S/S IMO, are having such an easy time together, there's not much going on and although you want them together, you want juicy stuff. C/B are full of that! I love them for that :lol:

Blake/Penn I love :D I think they're adorable together, it's so cute!

I'm 18, yeah, I just finished college this year :lol: I'm looking for a job now :/

Awwwwwww well there's no time limit. Going to college or uni will happen for you eventually. For now as long as your happy, it's all good ;)

Well if I were happy it would be all good for sure. I'm pretty damn depressed though. I have NOTHING right now. No friends (all gone to Uni) no Job, no education..I'm just STUCK and I hate it here in this town I just want to leave so badly...and be away from EVERYONE..I'm so annoyed. :lol:

But I'm working on getting myself a life haha.
I'm going to my Community College right now and finishing my High School there..and currently looking for a job..but around here it will be pointless, you need to know French and you need to have a high school diploma. I have neither, so no luck for me..but I'm trying.

Yup it will be 6 years on October 16th this year. There's not many original FB members here from back then anymore. Chloe of course is from back then she was one of the first ones on FB that I became friends with...but most of them aren't around anymore, sadly. I still can't believe it's been that long though.

Oh that sucks :lol: I guess it's a good excuse to move? I mean seriously, any country where you need 2 languages to get a job, that's just overzealous and silly :lol: (no offense to Canada)

Poor Chrissy, it would be hard to escape hearing about those 2. I'm prolly going to regret asking this, but why don't you like them? :lol:

I joined...like 4 years ago?? Mainly to talk on the Everwood forums...and I was on here heaps like 2 years ago while I was on exchange because I had oodles of spare time, but since coming back and starting uni, I haven't been on here much at all. I generally try to avoid the bigger forums for like SN and GG and stuff because I hate spoilers :lol: and Australia is so far away from the rest of the world, we're like always behind :(

Yeah it's really not cool. It makes it quite difficult to get a job when you NEED to know french. I wish the only language here was English. I'd get a job a lot easier.

Back when I first joined it was so active..I could hardly ever keep up with posts back then but now it's not like that at all.

Wow. I knew Chloe. Well, I didn't KNOW Chloe but I saw her around and all that. I don't think we ever bordered as friends, but I think we were in the same thread.. like once. Lol. I know a lot of people have left, especially over a certain scenario; has Chloe gone too??

Thanks! *hugs*

Haha I'm done with talking about them so you can come back Chrissy! :)

Aww, Lisa! I just scrolled back up and realised I missed the bit about y'life. I know how it's like to be in a really crap situation, and it must be really difficult with jobs nowadays. I had a terrible day today as well but I'm just so pleased to get online and talk to you lovely people. *Hugs* The hug is for luck that everything gets better for you soon :) <3

Hehe, thanks for not talking about.. *them* You can save it in *their* thread, hehe.

Hehe I had a certain shipper siggy and Chrissy couldn't stand it. It can be amazingly done but she detests them! I love her for that though :lol:

[QUOTE=the oc rocks!;3164479]Awww I feel like such a newb sometimes. Like I technically have been on sicne 2005 but got scared off at the beginning and then only recently came on 2006 :lol:

Lol, really? I joined .. wait lemme check.. 2007! Ah yes, joined at beginning of that year, then left for a few months b/c of the sig size restriction (trust me, 5 avatars, I'm still bloody raving over it :lol: !) and then came back 'cause I couldn't withstand being dedicated to my fav couples (: How come ya got scared off ??

Oh that sucks :lol: I guess it's a good excuse to move? I mean seriously, any country where you need 2 languages to get a job, that's just overzealous and silly :lol: (no offense to Canada)

I sort of agree 'cause it is quite hard - especially if that language isn't like .. fluent for you. I mean I'm fine if a job needed me to know Chinese and English 'cause I can do both fluent, but if I had to learn, say, Spanish for a job, I'd get annoyed :lol:

Poor Chrissy, it would be hard to escape hearing about those 2. I'm prolly going to regret asking this, but why don't you like them? :lol:

Yeah, I figured it'd be hard to not hear of 'em - even if I'm not in the O.C boards! Lol. Are you sure ya wanna hear this? I mean if you're a.. *cough* fan, then you might not wanna hear it :lol: And I'm not sure if I should answer it here, since there's 2 - or maybe including you, 3 - *cough* fans here and I don't wanna get ganged up :lol:

I joined...like 4 years ago?? Mainly to talk on the Everwood forums...and I was on here heaps like 2 years ago while I was on exchange because I had oodles of spare time, but since coming back and starting uni, I haven't been on here much at all. I generally try to avoid the bigger forums for like SN and GG and stuff because I hate spoilers :lol: and Australia is so far away from the rest of the world, we're like always behind :(

Aww, I've never joined the big ones 'cause I don't watch stuff like SN and GG :lol: I mean O.C boards was one of the biggest I joined back in 2007, but now it's literally died so much! It's really heartbreaking.

Yeah it's really not cool. It makes it quite difficult to get a job when you NEED to know french. I wish the only language here was English. I'd get a job a lot easier.

That's a really harsh requirement. Is there any reason why French is compulsory??

Back when I first joined it was so active..I could hardly ever keep up with posts back then but now it's not like that at all.

That's pretty much what's happening in most boards. O.C boards is the perfect example. I mean threads literally moved along in A DAY. And now it takes MONTHS. Even common threads like "What are you listening to?" moves along a lot slower

Sorry for the continuous reference to the O.C boards, but it's really, the only one I know besides this one :lol:

Wow. I knew Chloe. Well, I didn't KNOW Chloe but I saw her around and all that. I don't think we ever bordered as friends, but I think we were in the same thread.. like once. Lol. I know a lot of people have left, especially over a certain scenario; has Chloe gone too??

Aww, Lisa! I just scrolled back up and realised I missed the bit about y'life. I know how it's like to be in a really crap situation, and it must be really difficult with jobs nowadays. I had a terrible day today as well but I'm just so pleased to get online and talk to you lovely people. *Hugs* The hug is for luck that everything gets better for you soon :) <3

Chloe I believe IS still around, I see her posts most in the Twilight board.
My best friend on FB though (or she used to be here, but she's still my best online friend) is Shirphie (previously known as DevotedEmilyFan) which I started talking to the same time I joined. She's from NY) I've never became such good friends with an online friend until her. We even met in person last summer in Massachusetts, it was one of the best days ever, we went to see a play which had one of our favorite actors in it. :D

I've talk to so many amazing people here at FB, it's why I'm still around.

Yeah, my life sucks...and right now I am suffering the worse migraine possible.! It's been 4 days with this migraine (almost 5) and I've tried almost everything..I even got acupuncture done for it today...I just don't know what to do anymore..

And so you know, headaches is NOTHING new to me. I get them usually 3 times a week but migraines not as often..sometimes I wont get headaches for weeks and then it'll come back...it's no way to live though

The OC boards were one of the biggest. I was there before as well..SPN I posted at quite a bit and OTH from time to time, not so much anymore..The Nightclubs are all dead now too..They used to be so active as well (especially the OC one)

We live in a french/English community. Right by Quebec so everyone HERE has to be bilingual not in Quebec though. Since we share the town with people from Quebec and other towns nearby that are french we need this part to be french as well..it's just the way it is..That's why you NEED French to graduate. Although what they teach in school is pretty lame and doesn't even really TEACH you anything about speaking the language.

the oc rocks!

I think i got scared off because i was so new and it was crazy then and I'd post and I guess they got skimmed alot and i thought it was because peopel hated me so I tried Fox Forums and they kinda spoke to me but i kinda just used it to read fanfics until like 2006, late and i made some amazing friends on Fox Forums and i missed them, some are ont his fanmade forum I still go on to talk to them randomly, I used to rave abotu Skins and they never heard of it, now they all watch. One of my closest friends on ther,e Ana, is just about to watch it and she's so sweet, she's amazing. They all are :heart: But anywho i came back on here afetr a few years, 2007 maybe, 2006, and I stayed on really :)

Lisa have you been to the doctors? It may be serious is it's recurring. Awwwww, I feel for you, i really do. it's liek there's no real solutions because it's liek a catch 22 situation, but as i said, I do have faith that everythingw ill be alrigth for you iont he end :)

Aww I rememebr the times when threrads would be done within a day or less and peopel sped through them because so many peopel were on and loving these shippers like Marissa and Seth and *him* and Trey and stuff. Now so many people have gone. i used to love the way that everyt hread seemed to have at least one response between the moments you came on. Now you coudl bee off so many days and still catch up easily. It's quite sad

Awww Lisa, well I know about having to learn otherlanguage as a necessity. I HAVE to know Punjabi and I suck at learning it because I'm good at learning standard French and German btu this is so much mroe annoying because the same words mean different things yet they have different words and you have to know when to use them. It's gettiong annoying now. I'm not kean on it. What i can say is is there a class in college for you to learn this? Is there any class Or do they cost? I wouldn't know what else you could do other than buy a bok and leanr yourself but that's really hard

I've been having migraines and headaches since I was like 14 or 15..I've been to so many doctors (it's why I missed so much school and am trying to finish my HS now) so I'm frustrated with doctors now.

I'll probably have to learn it by myself or something. My dad is french and everyone else except my brother and I talk french in my family so it kinda sucks

Are you feeling any better Lisa? I hope so...I remember seeing Chloe around the place, I never got the chance to become super good friends with her, but I remember Shirphie as well!! Gosh this whole thing takes me back to the old days, I was never on here enough to really strike up any good friendships apart from Chris, we sent each other Christmas cards while I was away :lol: But then I stopped coming on here for like 2 years and lost contact with everyone :( I'm glad you guys are all still here though since you're all some amazingly lovely :D
Why do you think the boards aren't as popular as they used to be??
It sucks that you guys HAVE to learn these languages; that's the great thing about Australia, we're such a mixture of so many cultures, there's no way they could make everyone learn a certain language, other than english that is :lol:

If you guys need something to brighten your day, take a look at this guys blog, particularly the interview, and listen to his music: http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.ListAll&friendID=201526773 He's really lovely and his music is pretty as well :)

Actually I am. I went and got Acupuncture done for my migraines on Wednesday and since then I haven't had one..*crosses fingers hoping it stays this way*

Chloe is great. She was the first one I ever talked to on here. She also helped me so much with my websites. I had a blog and she offered to host me on her domain and showed me how to do everything. How to use FTP and showed me some HTML I didn't know. Without her I probably wouldn't be this far with my web sites (since I now have my own domain and no longer need to be hosted)

Shirphie was the same. She's my inspiration when it comes to my websites and she has taught me SO much in these last 6 years.

And Emma as well (the owner of FanBolt) has helped me so much! She was the one who helped me get all my domain names directed to my domain (which was difficult!) but she figured it out..plus she is just awesome for making this place (without it I wouldn't have gotten to know you lovely people!)

I owe them all so much.

Just so you guys know Web sites, designing layouts and graphic design is my favorite pasttime (along with writing) so I've gotten a long way since I joined FB

guh that's not good. I hope you can cope with them eventually. I know how annoying recurring headaches are. They are really off putting too *huggles*

Awww I know how you feel. Me and my brother are the British kids in my family. Everyone else can speak much more fluent than us and we haven't really learnt much anyways :/ Hope everything will work out for you though.

I think that it's because of many reaons. I know it's because with cancelled and past shows there's nothing new to talk about so some people have gone for that and because some people didn't like the atmosphere and stuff. It sucks but you never know. What with Heroes and that being fastly popular shows it may pick up and become mega active :/

I'll have to check out the link later, I'm so knackered, dismantled half of my auntie's playhouse in our garden so it's kinda taken the life out of me. However I do have someting frustrating for you. I'm addicted, if you get far tell me :lol: It's taken me days to get to 100 :lol:
