    I was going to do it, but am sure you can make a better job than me... :D

    Tried it... it's far too complicated for me! I'd have to work out how to share it, link it to the yahoo group, and how to let other people put their pins on it, and generally wake my brain up!

    If you do feel like doing it, we definitely need to tell people not to put more than the first half of their postcode on though.

    I've done loads of washing up, put some laundry on, and am about to hoover upstairs (including my mattress, ready to make my bed).

    Polka - storage tins for cakes... I use the following - sweet & biscuit tins left in the office after Christmas (a pain to store, but incredibly useful); giant plastic storage boxes (I use them upside down, and put the cakeboard on the lid); folding cardboard cakeboxes like those from the bakery, which you can cleanup and reuse (they fall apart eventually, but they're great for gifts with some pretty ribbon). Nothing in that line spare at the moment I'm afraid, but I'll keep you in mind when I'm doing the Christmas tin-collection!

    Blimey Dusty - that's good going! What were they if I may ask?
    It was DS1's winter coat from last year £1 more than paid for
    DS3's snowsuit which has been though all 3 kids mum got on discount in C&A - that is how long ago it was £3 appox more
    An elc toy £2 more

    Plus post and packaging - I keep mine really close to the actual cost just adding a tiny bit for fees. Packing I save all the packing from mail order companies. Two are paying be cheque to no paypal fees on those either.

    Apple pie in AGA and one for freezer as friend brough a bag of windfalls round.

    Kids tea time and then I'm going to clean the bathroom whilst DS3 is in the bath.

    Got in from a loooooooooooooooooong days work,has put a roast in the oven (the infamous 2 for £10 m and s chicken) which we will eventually eat, but I'm so hungry, might eat a doughnut...brb...

    *cleans sugar off mouth, and keyboard*

    Yummy!

    I appear to be soooo the opposite of paranoid on that database, though there are about 100 apartments this side of fuel, possibly more, so even if someone found my street, they'd be unlikely to find me ( no-one prove me wrong by finding me, pwease)

    Well my plan is a quiet night infront of my lappy and watching oh beat up lego villians.Hope the meet when ok

    Bin of clean dry clothes all folded and put away, have now run out of space for washing so will try and pick out stuff that can be tumble dried.

    Half of the uniform found, washed and dried but don't have a clue where the rest is so will have to go looking.

    Right cuppa first and then i'll get on with something else.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Congratulations polkadot! You're doing really well with the giving up smoking.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
