    Compared to me you still look like a super hero

    (actually, compared to me MOST people look like super heros).

    I like your car but remember - drive carefully, it's not only cars that can be recalled by their Maker.

    It was the thought of you lovingly wrapping the bananas up for the winter that did it..thats why i thought you would be sensitive ..my husband would just leave them to freeze to death... :D

    ... and there was me thinking what a super hero you are looking after the mini Banana Men, when all along you send poor Mrs BM out to work whilst you stay at home playing with your toys....!!!!! (only joking!!! ;) ) Must admit, mt car is definitely the "family" car!!! The last time it shone like that was when I drove it away from the showroom!! Never mind, in a couple of weeks its going into the bodyshop for repairs, and they clean it inside and out!!! YAY!!!! (just in time for the summer holidays and picnics, forest rambles, etc.... ) :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    What do I do?? Well, after my 3 jobs, running mini HB's to swimming clubs, cubs and things, walking Bramble and shovelling food for their HUGE appetites, I don't get much time... I like to collapse in a heap with a decent glass of wine. I'm not complaining though, as the boys give me so much pleasure, and they are growing so fast, I just relish every minute we have... there is nothing better than piling into the car with a flask of tea, packet of sarnies and gong out for the day, like the new forest, beach, wherever we end up!! :cool:

    Nobody ever looks the way you expect them to, didn't you know that, BM? I'm pretty certain lots of people had a picture of me as a male when I first started, until I chucked in a few comments about husbands!
    A few of us have now met a few others - I wonder what we all thought? How close were they to our imagined pictures? A whole new thread could start on that one! :D
    In my spare time, apart from gardening, I walk a lot (with or without the dog), play the double bass and guitar, go to Bluerass music festivals, read, knit, crochet, the occasional macrame pot-holder :rolleyes: , oh, and I like to look at GC!

    You look a bit old for a schoolboy Eric... I'm beginning to wonder if you are in fact the REAL bananaman!!
    But, you're the only one we have so I suppose you'll do ;) :D

    To go along with what Shiney said about driving carefully - people I used to know had a motto inside their car that said "drive no faster than your guardian angel can fly!" Deep, eh?? :rolleyes:

    This is a very interesting thread - BM you look just as I imagined but more handsome :D
    I am very involved in netball, playing (very badly now cos Im old :( ), umpiring and coaching, looking after my menagerie of dogs and rabbits, being 'around' for my 2 lovely daughters if they need me and looking after the garden and a very hard working Mr Marge (usually in that order too!!)He has a very dirty Toyota Celica which I love and pinch quite often [​IMG] Oh and I work part time too [​IMG]
