  1. Talking of keeping secrets . When my mum died in 2008 we were clearing out her house and found her metal box that she always kept locked. Dad had died in 1981 so she had been widowed 26 years. When we managed to prise open the box , we found in there their marriage certificate which states that my dad had been married before . Mum and dad married 1 Feb 1947, and it said dads marriage was dissolved the week before! Neither me or my brother had ever known he was married before and we were shocked to say the least . I spoke to my dads only surviving sister who was in her 90s who told us that wh

  6. I had the misfortune to live in Ilkeston from late 2005 to 2011. Had only lived there 2 mth and someone let themselves in the front door took my car keys and drove off whilst I was sitting on the sofa. Saw my car drive in front of the window. Police never charged anyone and my 1 year old mini was found abandoned a week later in moor green reservoir . Couldn't wait to get out of Ilkeston . What a sh** hole Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. An old boyfriend of mine had a K reg (1972) mark 3 ford cortina 1600GT. He was only 17 at the time (1976)and had saved his pennies and bought it as his first car . It had 4x super cibie spotlights on the front which lit the town up when they were on. Great car but one day the electrics burnt out . My grandad was a retired auto electrician and showed him how to trace each wire and replace it with new wire and between them 're-wired' the whole car . Lasted until he sold it a couple of years later ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. We have a super King one too. It certainly took some energy getting it upstairs . We can never move house now as would never find a house with a big enough bedroom to take it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  13. We were in aldi last month and left the trolley to walk back down the aisle to get something I had forgotten. Came back, put it in my trolley and carried on shopping. It wasn't until we got to the checkout and I saw things in my trolley that I hadn't put in there that I realised I had wheeled someone else's shopping around the shop. I blamed hubby for putting biscuits in - it was when the nappies came out I started to worry. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
