I was on Tescos the other day ordering some bargainous toys for the kids and anytime i see a competition for something DH would like I enter it. I never EVER thought I would win.. and I DID!!!

My husband and his brother used to wrestle professionally before he developed scoliosis and they now run an online XBOX360 wrestling fed. I told him to take his brother and bond and enjoy the experience. They are both over the moon.

My bunnies are house rabbits, I have them house trained and only wee and poo in there cage. they wee in one spot of there cage but they poo all over it. I have this stuff called vet bed in there cage which is so much easier then haveing saw dust everywhere it drians all there wee so it isnt wet for them but you do have to use a lot of paper underneath to soak it all up. It gets washed every night. I find if they arent cleaned every day my flat smells like a zoo, but it smells worse with the saw dust.

They are spoilet rotten my bunnys, they are my babys lol xxxx

Decided that every day I'm going to treat myself to 30mins Christmas time, even if its just making gifts/wrapping presents/writing cards. It will be 30mins of nice relaxing time for me to look forward to in amongst all of my college work that takes up most of my day night and weekends (along with MSE of course!)

I'm going to have a 'test' wrap of a present tonight. I dont usually make much effort wrapping presents, but this year as we have cut down on presents I have the time and want them to look beautiful!! Have some cute patterned paper which the background is like brown paper so hopefully it looks lovely !! will post a pic later hopefully.

Good luck Jamtart. I must say though that I absolutly love wrapping pressents and if I do say so myself think I am rather good at it.

If anybody is interested I am available for ironing, gift wrapping and cleaning the oven over the christmas period. I wont charge all I ask for is a brew and a biccie lol. I love doing all three of the above. god I am getting so very sad.

aw pinkladymel - that's such a cool prize! My DH is a massive wwe fan! I have a friend coming from the states to visit soon and I'm going to order some wwe stuff to have shipped to her from the US website and she's going to bring it over for me. Saves on shipping - plus the exchange rate means stuff will be cheaper! But oh my, wouldn't DH love to go to a WWE event!
