just for Al
If there's anyone standing behind you at work you may not want to open it. I don't think it's NSFW it would just be tough explaining why you're looking at it

for everyone else, do you think pillow cases with the opening along the long edge would be better or worse than the current design?
(, Thu 2 Jun 2011, 14:17, 180 replies, latest was 15 years ago)
worse, the pillow would be more likely to fall out

you'd probably need buttons or poppers and no one wants that on their pillow

probably ninety pounds
since I just got a library invoice telling me I owe shit-loads of money because they think I've lost a book :( I really need to stop borrowing books that cost £200 to replace.

Edit: I know my parents would lend it, but I don't really want to ask because they've just had to lend my brother two thousand to cover his accommodation
(, Thu 2 Jun 2011, 14:29, Reply)
But £90 is nothing compared to £2000 so they should be able to manage it.
You've got to come, I've been telling my friends about your magnificent breasts and they've been saving up cans of beer to give you so you will flash them.
(, Thu 2 Jun 2011, 14:35, Reply)
It's the asking more than the money
I know having to pay for my brothers uni fees and expenses have left them fairly short at the moment, and my sister really wants to go on this fairly expensive summer school thing.

I haven't flashed anyone in ages, because that generally involves showing podgy stomach as well

Hmmmm, tricky
Is there any chance you can get yourself a 0% interest credit card with a view to buying the ticket on it and paying it off over 1 year. You would have to be really good and not put anything else on it.
(, Thu 2 Jun 2011, 14:42, Reply)
I don't trust myself with it
I got a credit card last term (£500) and I ended up spending about £300 on it because my debit card broke. Paid it off this term so no interest, but would rather not use it again
