Hun have you tried washable/reusable nappies ?? i know they dont suit everyone but always worth a go if baby isnt comfy in disposables.

Hi Cat and Geordie_Lass

No, not tried reusable/washable. Maybe that's the way to go, will get one and try, see how DS gets on. If that doesn't work, it will have to be potty training, methinks.

Thank you for the advice.

Mrsbluebear - your eyes look fantastic! Great job! Hope the eye pallette is the one you want. Will post tmw.

Geordie_Lass, not checked under all furniture, but I know there is a problem under the bed, where some of our stuff is going mouldy, so definitely a damp patch there, but now concerned as feeling it in more places in the bedrooom. But because DS crawls around there, not sure if him or damp.

Problem with rented accommodation, can complain but what do we do meantime?

Do Boots help with accommodation? Do they give points to move into a better place? Would love it if they did.

Pash - I love you. xxx;)

My local has LOADS of R & M accessories, they must have everything, it's not even a big shop!
There is a 4 way nail buffer/file thing for £5 which looks quite nice. I didn't really look for long though as I assumed you couldn't use the pinkie with them!

Yes you can use with the pinkie - I did on Saturday no problems! :j

Today I had my best bootsing day ever! I used all my skincare vouchers I had stored up plus a few of the No7/R&M ones but still came back with 5 or so No7 ones at the end of the day!

I started out at Liverpool Street Station boots. I love this branch because they have SS tills, ACM, Ruby & Millie plus lots of posh make-up brands but it is not as busy as Oxford St at the weekend. The last few times I have been there they have had lots of under £5 TD stuff too.

In the Liverpool St branch I used loads of vouchers and got one each of TD toner, exfoliator and face wash plus used 200 points from the mag on each. They still had a few Jul/Aug mags by the SS tills! Then I got a few more TD things just with the vouchers and no 200 points. I also got 2 lots of Sanctuary wipes. There were loads of Sanctuary wipes, TD exfoliator and TD toners in that store. I also got one JK nail file and 1 JK packet of wipes and got the 500 points. I bought the last nail file in that store. I also remembered the 150 aussie hair care voucher from Glamour mag and used that on a sachet for 99p.

The Liverpool St store is great for "wombling" vouchers as they fall behind the bags at the SS tills and people are in a hurry to catch trains so leave them behind. Also during the week all the rich folk who work in the city don't seem to be bothered about free TD!!!

No TS long hair serums in Liverpool St though.

Next I went to the store on Oxford Street between Tottenham Ct Rd and Oxford Circus (the one opposite the Plaza centre). I really got lucky here. They had a whole rack of JK nail files!!! When I took a couple to the ss tills, they only went and scanned at £1 each instead of £2!!! I bought 24 of them and got 6000 points, then went to the back of the store and got a camera! I also got the new Chanel gold nail polish with the rest of the points on my card.

I didn't take all the nail files, I told the guy that served me about the glitch and he was going to go and get them in his break. He looked really pleased. I image he would have bought the rest of them but if you are passing tomorrow it's worth having a look to see if there are any more. They only seemed to scan for £1 in this store.

With the vouchers I also picked up 2 x TD wipes here (they had a few left and I didn't buy them all), 1 x R&M sponges, 1 x No7 Ultimate File and Buffer (the £4 one, didn't know if it would scan but it did!), 1 x R&M nail refine & 1 x R&M i-brush.

No TS serums in that Oxford St store though.

Then I went to Sedley Place and only got 1 x No7 Cleansing Sponge (the £3.50 one). They had a few TD exfoliators but no wipes and no Sanctuary wipes either. Bit of a disappointment this store! No TS serums again!!!

Finally I went to the little boots near Marble Arch tube station and picked up the last packet of TD wipes and some face cleanser.

Phew, it's a good job there is a spare shelf in the bathroom!

I think they are really sold for caravans? I popped one under bed, one in fitted wardrobe and one at other side of the room. I was emptying the thing of water twice a day! Absolutely brill things!

MrsBB - another triumph I reckon!

Here is my effort of the blue/silver to go with my dress - not as good as yours but it was a first attempt! The pale blue I used almost looks silvery - hard to take a picture of it! I know its not great but thought I'd share it - at least I know I need some more practice before my friends wedding!

EDIT: Awww, my pic didn't upload again.....
