    I am dreaming of things i want when we have a bigger house :)

    Must be because i am in the spring cleaning mood he he.

    My house is small and i have a boyfriend who is a hoarder....not a good combo.

    He also has a bad memory though so every so often i have a clear out and he doesn't even notice things have gone ;):p

  • Well done on getting to £50, Jen.

    I'm trying to do some STP but everytime I try it doesn't seem to be working!

    Also had the phone delivered that my mam won... I'm a bit disappointed as it had been opened and all the box is bashed. Hmmm :S Am I being ungrateful?

    I'm a pretty bad hoarder too. As long as the phone is alright and hasn't been used I wouldn't really care about the box unless I was selling it, it was free after all.

    I'm really impressed with the body shop, I ordered some stuff using free standard delivery 2 days ago and a UPS van has just delivered it tracked. I love the smell of the raspberry body butter.
