    Its just a tattoo of a scropion but its stuck in the middle of his arm and he thinks it looks stupid. I dont mind it, along with two others he also has a massive tattoo of my name on his back that he completly shocked me with a couple of years ago! I hope he never wants that removed! te he he!)

    Hi all,

    Dawn- Hopefully they will invite you foodtogo soon, the points really mount up from doing it!:D
    And i couldnt stop telling everyone at work about the video! :rotfl: :p

    Well, OH is having a poo time atm with the car still, he says his going to fix it, MOT it and get rid of it and never by a french car ever again. Lol, he blames me for buying a french car coz mines the same make. Im not sure if he actually means this or if his just anoyyed from calling Peuegot to have some rude sales person speak to him like poo aparrantly.:rolleyes:

    But good news is that his quidco account is paying him £70 end of this month! Mecca games paid him twice! that was very nice of them!:D
    All im gettng from my quidco is £2!:o

    Ive just come back from a little bit of shopping at boots where i spent £30 of my vouchers on face creams and eye lash dye for myself.

    Plus i spent £2 of my tesco vouchers on a magazine and cakes for work.:)

    Afternoon,

    Ive just done another survey for PC so should get another £4 Lucheon voucher from them, although im still waiting for the voucher from the survey i did the other day.

    Along with that im waiting for Mi-info voucher (who ive emailed today) x2 toluna vouchers (who ive emailed twice) and my qype ipod who im just about to email as they said i should have it by end of feb.

    OH and i have been looking at part time college courses, he is interested in electrican 3 year course and im interested in florist and flower arranging. I could make my own wedding bouquets! A girl from work does the course and has made some beautiful items there which got me interested! OH course would cost £2k and the course i looked at dosnt say the costs. But im also looking at the childcare NVQ's too. Im going to send off for more info on both courses.;)

    Afternoon to anyone in :)

    Well my OH called me up at lunchtime time his arm was hurting was as he decided the price was ok for the tattoo removal and he had the first treatment already! £120 per laser treatment!!!!! And wait for it....he needs 6 treatments! Plus its all the way in cambridge 35 miles from here.:confused: So total cost of £720 plus diesel driving there and back every month! I know he hates the tattoo but £720!

    Plus he needs £120 for car tax by saturday. And his ABS still isnt working, so needs about £30 for a new sensor which will hopefully fix it. And then it due for an MOT mid march! So im not expecting any money for the savings this month from him!:confused:

    On the baby front last night i watched a couple of youtube clips on women giving birth (as Lilmiss knows:) there were links on the baby forum i go on) and well!!!! They really should show teenagers at school what its like im sure it would help cut teens pregnancies by half! Yes, the clips i saw were that bad, one woman had a blood clot so you could imagine what happened i could only watch a few seconds before turning it off! I take my hat off to Mid-wives they should get paid much more than what they do there saints! But it wasnt enough to put me off.;)

    Is this the same forum I go on?? My username is jillypoop on there, not sure if I can post the link or not but I saw that video and made me feel sick. my sis was sitting near me having tomato soup and it was a bit ewwwwwwwwwww!!

    I agree with showing teenagers that!! It would've worked for me back when I was at school!!

  • Ok, I'll keep an eye out for you too. These two forums are the most addictive on the net!

    Your deposit (in sig) seems to be going really well, you should be really proud of yourself for doing that! Me and my OH are trying to save a deposit up for a house but it feels really far away at the moment :(
    How long have you been saving?
