1) How long before your saw your lady friend without make up on? Apparently some people NEVER let their partner see them without slap on.

2) Do you like plums? (the fruit)

3) Never see many moped riders without L-plates - why?

- Dunno.
  
  I've seen some without. I think you can drive a moped with L plates on for YEARS without actually passing a test.

- They are mainly ridden by youths with provisional licences and/or are too young to drive
  
  Once they are 17 they graduate to driving Vauxhall Corsas around housing estates at 80mph.
  
  Nobody who has a proper bike licence is going to fanny about on one of those hairdryers and if you have a full car licence, you're going to have a car.

I don't sleep with Make-up on, never have. So I guess if my relationship got to a sleep over. Then they would see me without make-up

I like plums.

1) first date, I think. She doesn't wear any.

2) no, but I'm geographically disposed to dislike fruit on principle

I don't like plums

She always takes it off at bed time. So probably bed time.

I survived the hell on earth that is Hamleys Glasgow earlier

and have emerged with a fucking brilliant toolkit for my godson. It looks like it makes an absolute racket and his mum is going to mollicate me when i see them later. heehee.

I need to wrap it, but I only have christmas paper or a pink bag. And I have no time or inclination to go out and get some. What do we think- Christmas paper or pink bag. I am well up for breaking with gender stereotypes whn it comes to my own kids, but I'm wary of imposing it on other people.

(Do i just hand it over unwrapped, in the hamleys bag, and say AUNTY LULU IS FUCKING BUSY, BE GRATEFUL YOU BRAT.)

He's one, btw. (and he's my favourite).

1) pretty much straight away- showering together? Waking up together?

I love plums. Plum pudding is amazing, also stewed plums and custard.

I left a work shirt at my girlfriend's house last week

Just text her to check it had been washed/ironed so I can wear it tomorrow (sleep-over tonight). Apparently it had to be washed twice because her mom said it was *too dry to be ironed* the first time.

It doesn't sound like a thing (maybe c_r can adjudicate), her parents are a bit odd at times.

urbanfox | 13 Mar '13, 14:57 | X | ^ This | Reply
- some people like to iron things slightly damp
  
  I think it stems from the times before we had steam irons. So it definitely is a thing, just an old fashioned one. oh yeah, and stop moaning about lovely people who have done your ironing for you, you ungrateful monkey!

Probably the first time I spent the night at hers.

Yes I like plums, though that was a fairly recent discovery (past couple of years).
