    :wave: Hiya Lovely!

    I hope you have a great break! Quidco is the greatest isn't it?
    The orthodontist was pretty brutal. :eek: DD was in the chair for almost two hours having it all fitted and is a bit traumatised about all the hardware in her mouth and how she's going to eat and sleep - but she's nothing if not determined, so she'll get through it.

    I've promised her a new haircut, an eye brow shape and a super duper Max Factor mascara to distract attention away from her "metal mouth" before she goes back to school as she's quite self conscious about it all, bless her. :(

    I worked the BH weekend for all the lovely double time to pay for all that I had promised but I've been in and out of MSE for most of the week otherwise. I guess we've just not been on at the same time.

    Speak to you soon cherub,

    Love Jacks xxx :D

    just a little booster, did you know that all taxpayers on the normal band
    will get a £60 plus tax rebate at the end of the month and a few quid rebate for the next 5 or six months after that. i think its to do with the !0%/20% uproar earlier on in the year. something to look forward to eh.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.
