That'll teach your Mum! I'm guessing she won't be quick about nagging you to trim the hairs that start to grow out of your ear when you get older. I don't think she's going to want to see that in a 35mm film container.

Do you read on your 505 in the bath? If so, how do you protect it?

I've considered using a plastic ziploc bag, but I'm not sure I trust them.

I am with you on hating that sensation! Am so terrible at touching my own feet, it really ooks me out for some reason! I absolutely HATE cutting my toenails. My feet are constantly on display here, and it is NOT pretty!

Just for the record, you aren't supposed to PULL on the eyelashes! You just squeeze the pliers thingy, and it puts a bend in all the lashes, so they go the same way. For a while.

I had one when I was a teen, but quickly got tired of bothering.

I have to confess I normal use quaint old paper books in the bath,. although I did take the 505 in there -unprotected - a few nights ago. I wasn't really happy about it and quickly reverted back to a paper book again........

Must find a solution to that. Maybe see if we can invent dry water...........
