Only the other day Mrs Zep had to usher my son out of the room as I writhed in agony, teeth clenched, holding back a raft of expletives, in the feotal position. He seemed shocked and worried. -All he had done was to perform a perfectly routine 'suprise' body-slam, leading with the elbow. Which happened to connect with my left gonad.

I put my contacts in earlier and went for a drive. Driving spec-less is weird and it feels wrong. Putting them in is going to take some more practice, blasted things just won't let go of my finger! NotDave said: speed limiter
Also the thing wouldn't keep constant motorway speed due to where the revs/boost/gear ratios sat at 62-72 mph Oh no. Poor Dave.  On the "revs/boost/ratio" front, I had the same issues in the 1.4TDCi MY05 Fiesta I learnt to drive in. 30mph in 4th didn't fit, shuddering and coughing, but 30 in 3rd sat right on the edge of 'boost'. That was a little annoying.

Aaah yes, the surprise body slam. Not quite as bad as the jumping in the lap movement that they do from about 8 months. That chafes...repeatedly. Still, at least if it's a penis injury I won't shoot blood clots...

Fraggles rock. "Dance your cares away, worries for another day" A mantra which people thought was harmless enough, but the come-down... Just taken the dog out for a walk, started singing the song to my daughter, i have just had to find fraggle rock on youtube to prove I hadnt made it up lol

My Favourite move that they do is the surprise headbutt where they throw everything they have into moving their head about 12inches when they are 3 inches from your nose, and you end up with your nose spread over approx 3 counties.

My trick when I was in nappies was to (whilst sitting on my Dad's lap) pull a 'Me Gusta' face as my nappy got bigger, and bigger and bigger.... Until it burst.

Putting them in is going to take some more practice, blasted things just won't let go of my finger! I'll be getting contacts soon hopefully; provided the opticians say my eyes are okay for them. Should be, hopefully. Haven't thought about it sticking to my fingers as I try to put them in, how are you finding the act of inserting something into your eyes? Always think that'll be the big thing to get over for me.

Always think that'll be the big thing to get over for me. My lenses are astigmatic.  I'm quite happy to touch my eyes. It's a bit tricky lining your finger up, when you can't really see it through one eye. have to really hold the lids open to keep the lashes out of the way, I keep catching the lenses on them, or blink at the wrong time. Really struggle to get the lens to leave my finger. Taking them out is really easy, though it'll freak you out. Look left or right and put your finger on the lens and wiggle it to see if you have in fact actually got it, then pinch it lightly between two fingers. Again, I'm fine with this and can do it in seconds...

Haven't had an eye test for years (about 3-4) so need to get that done before.
