Kat Von D. Not meant to be a blonde!
Minx Sauce, 10 August, 2009 at 11:35

https://www.sky.com/ Kat Von D. She looked quite hot during Miami Ink days. Go to pic 52 on link above. I would never have recognised her. Some people are just not meant to be blondes.

Flump, 7 August, 2009 at 19:14

But £10 a mug. Hmmmmm can I justify them? Do we like Cornishware? I think I like it, even though I live in a 1960s box and not a fabulous countryside cottage with a range cooker ?

How do you 'wash' laminate floor?
Sparkley, 7 August, 2009 at 14:01

I have really crappy laminate in my hallway and bedrooms. I really hate it, but wouldn't have carpet and can't afford proper nice wooden flooring. Anyway, I find it a nightmare to clean. I must admit...
