I think flatchestedness is a blessing, myself. I USED to be fairly flat chested, and NEVER had to do that scary thing us ladies have to do when we run. (Serrupticiously pretend that you have a REALLY sore shoulder which can only be held with your arm ACROSS the boob area) to avoid the illusion of an approaching jelly monster. Now I'm doing the arm thing. :cry: Otherwise it's
(edit - I did have a picture of a big jelly with a cherry on top here, but it looked obscene in the context, and now I'm an old lady I must be more decorous.) :lol:

I misread that as "I think flatulence is a blessing" :oops: :roll:

Because my Brownies made pink tie-dyed t-shirts last night, and they're now all drying on the line, and because my mum is doing some sort of display at christmas to do with 'The Flight to Egypt', and thinks she needs a donkey. Mary and Joseph are going to be made out of washing up bottles (Blue Peter style), so the donkey needs to be on the same scale. My grandad suggested she buy a toy aeroplane and paint Egypt Airlines down the side, and see who gets it!

:oops: so did I!!

(and I fully agree with the original sentiments. I used to disagree but now I've experienced the other side of things, even if still only marginally, I definitely think it's a blessing)

:lol: Well, flatulence CAN be a blessing. Especially if you are about to do an Aunt Marge!! :lol:

Oh and Laura, I like the sound of your project. Mary and Joseph made out of washing up bottles, and donkey construction. I'd be in my element with that!! (The more glue and mess the better!!) :D

Paper mache was mentioned 2 minutes ago - I'm going off the project. I have enough of that sort of thing at Brownies, without it at home too. Weaving raffia seemed a little more refined. :?

I LOVE making papier mache. You've just got to make sure you don't use wallpaper paste with fungicide in it - that makes you sick!!

All the best from me to for tomorrow Biscuit. :) Don't stay up too late tonight ;)

If you can make a stab at PuzzleBrains (and if I remember right you do a lot better than just 'a stab') then you can handle anything and exam board can send your way. :geek:
