    I'm wearing my white & blue one with my orange and blue fathers day band today. Goes quite well with my watch.

    Have learnt that you dont wear them in the shower as they have a tendency to break shortly afterwards.

    all over the house on this side of the world as well - they're called rainbow looms aren't they?

    I thought loom bands were an early type of rock band from the industrial revolution.

    I was at home the other night enjoying a "comfort break" when someone knocked on the door and kept on knocking until I answered the door. It turned out to be 3 kids around 10 years selling loom band bracelets.

    I was far from impressed when I told them I had no money on me as they rode their bikes off across my front lawn - had I not been crowning I would probably have chased them

    Yep. Have thousands of the f***ing things everywhere.

    Although the pink and black bracelet my 7 year old made for me is rather dashing!!

    My nine year old is bloody obssessed with them. Everytime I pick something up, open a cupboard or drawer there is another one staring at me.

    They're in Thailand as well. My 9 year-old is obsessed, as are all her schoolmates. Does keep her quiet though.

    My two are into making loom bands as well. I keep finding them all over the house and in the garden after they have passed through the dog.

    Yes. Remnants in every room... I love hoovering them up! Apparently they are topping Amazon's toy list worldwide. Someone is making a fortune.
