    I tried to cap mine (I'm with British Gas dual fuel) at the beginning of the week. I now know why they wouldn't :mad: :mad:
    Someone told me last night that "you'll not be able to cap now....."

    Did the needful BB then read the chat. Withdrawal seems to be a bit extreme:confused: but now you'll get a beautiful pic of Charlie:j . I've been meaning to ask what breed he is. Looks a lot like our old Munsterlander but I know there are a few that look similar.


    P.S. remember to post a pic of the pic when you get it;)

    P.P.S Someone told me yesterday that if you eat a punnet of strawberries an hour before breastfeeding the baby gets strawberry flavoured milk. Is that true?:confused: If so I better steer clear of broccoli, cabbage and curry otherwise poor Bean will be scarred for life!:p

  • Morning all, late rising for me as im going onto lates im having lay ins.

    Daphne and co know what you mean with motivation, i went shopping last few days in the sales. kept to my budget tho. still have plenty left over and its 2 and bit weeks til payday.

    Try to get the motivation going. I know its hard, tesco is having a stationary sale too! But i have loads i must tell myself i dont need any! So im spending today sorting out folders and things for new term. My dog poorly today too so looking after him here right now on the computer!
    Ive lots of shredding to do this afternoon also!

    Daphne what course are you doing with the OU? Ive just sent my tutor application off to get part time work on the criminology course! Fingers crossed everyone!

    How about we all see how we get today and each see if we can get one freebie today. Might be a laugh!
