dusty - [html]From thursday Lidl have energy monitors in store for £6.99 in case any of you want them.[/html]embb, natty and I won't be needing this - apparently no energy to monitor...:D

valli and polkadot - I will try and understand this after lunch! Thank you for all your help! Of course if I could bothered to learn about the programme properly (or if I had time to!) I wouldn't be having all these problems! (I haven't mastered Publisher either, and am driving DS1 mad by stupid questions. on the plus side, he usually takes over and does it for me...)

Okay, I sat at the tabelein the kitchen and did all the planning, than sat at the pc and typed it up and sent it off, and I have not gone anywhere near the cloakroom and the bathroom, both of which need to be done today, and I still have to go downtown and transfer all my worldly wealth to the children (first week of the month is pocket money and clothings allowance day!):eek::eek::eek: Lunch first I think!

ps no idea why it put quotes in like that???

Voted Lil_me! Excellent cause! When I broke my ankle last year I discovered exactly what it was like to be unable to move around the shops the way I wanted... and how frustrating it is not to be able to reach something from a wheelchair. :mad: It should be on the curriculum for all kids to have the experience..... spend a few days in a wheelchair. See how ignored/pushed into/vulnerable you feel! (I was terrified someone was going to bang my head) Horrible, unforgettable experience. Good luck to your friend. Can we vote every day or is it a one vote deal?

Hi all ... had some credit crunch beating tips from my cousin...


If a small child is choking on an ice cube, don't panic. Simply pour a jug of boiling water down its throat and hey presto! The blockage is almost instantly removed.

Before attempting to remove stubborn stains from a garment, always circle the stain in permanent pen, so that when you remove the garment from the washing machine you can easily locate the area of the stain and check that it has gone.

Don't waste money buying expensive binoculars. Simply stand next to the object you wish to view.

Clumsy? Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop away.

Always poo at work. Not only will you save money on toilet paper, but you'll also be getting paid for it.

Weight watchers. Avoid that devilish temptation to nibble at a chocolate bar in the cupboard or fridge by not buying the f**king thing in the first place.

Save on booze by drinking cold tea instead of whisky. The morning after, you can create the effects of a hangover by drinking a thimble full of washing up liquid and banging your head repeatedly on the wall.

Recreate the fun of a visit to a public swimming pool in your home by filling the bath with cold water, adding two bottles of bleach, then urinating into it, before jumping in.

Don't buy expensive 'ribbed' condoms, just buy an ordinary one and slip a handful of frozen peas inside it before you put it on.

Thicken up runny low-fat yoghurt by stirring in a spoonful of lard.

Anorexics. When your knees become fatter than your legs, start eating cakes again .

An empty aluminium cigar tube filled with angry wasps makes an inexpensive vibrator.

Olympic athletes. Disguise the fact that you've taken steroids by running a bit slower.

Smokers. Save on matches and lighters, by simply lighting your next fag from the butt of your last one.

Vegetarians coming to dinner? Simply serve them a nice bit of steak or veal.

Since they're always going on about how tofu, Quorn, meat substitute etc 'tastes exactly like the real thing', they won't know the difference.

Invited by vegetarians for dinner? Point out that since you'd no doubt be made aware of their special dietary requirements, tell them about yours,and ask for a nice steak.

High blood pressure sufferers. Simply cut yourself and bleed for a while,thus reducing the pressure in your veins.

Heavy smokers. Don't throw away those filters from the end of your cigarettes. Save them up and within a few years you'll have enough to insulate your roof.

Nissan Micra drivers. Attach a lighted sparkler to the roof of your car before starting a long journey. You drive the things like dodgems anyway,so it may as well look like one.

A mouse trap placed on top on of your alarm clock will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep.

Avoid bickering and petty arguments by immediately punching anyone with whom you disagree.

Fool next door into thinking you have more stairs than them by banging your feet twice on each stair.

At supermarket checkouts a Toblerone box makes a handy 'Next customer Please' sign for dyslexic shoppers.

Putting just the right amount of gin in your goldfish bowl makes the fishes' eyes bulge and cause them to swim in an amusing manner.

AVOID parking tickets by leaving your windscreen wipers turned to 'fast wipe' whenever you leave your car parked illegally.

HOUSEWIVES. I find the best way to get two bottles of washing-up liquid for the price of one is by putting one in your shopping trolley and the other in your coat pocket.

Grrrr.... I managed to delete my post with my 'joke' about being a mum. :mad:
