    Hugs Triker, they drive you senseless don't they.

    Hotpot was lovely but DS2and3 don't like it. DS2 ate his DS3 got given a bowl of pasta.

    It is snowing here and settling - never known that in half term. We were going to chessington on Thursday curtesy of Mr T but I'm not going if it is that cold - has anybody ever returned vouchers and got them to re-issue?

    yep! I returned my Thorpe Park ones when I broke my arm and they re-issued them with a new expiry date - but they will only do this once (which is a pain as I still can't go and they run out next month!!!)

    Brrrrrr!!! Kids fed then walked the dogs, no hood on the coat I have with me (because it's just a fleece :( silly me for bringing that, must remember alternative on Thursday when I pop home) so stole kids wooly hat, noone seen me in the rather fetching spiderman number :) soooo cold, I didn't take the kids, but m,ust have looked a nugget walking up and down past the caravan with the dogs so I could keep an eye on them through the window. Because youngest dog spent most of his time sniffing to see where others had been he's now crying to go again, grrr... I'm going to knock the heating up a little now, this setting was ok last night so must be getting colder, kids are in their sleeping bags having some DS time (electronic babysiiters!)

    AnWsMum have a fab evening !!
    Triker ((big hugs)) hope you've kicked every single one of them for being ignorant and unhelpful x
    Dusty I have for other things, if you call them and OK it first they usually do it no problem, however I've sent some they have denied receiving (don't know who was at fault, them or Royal Mail)

    Decided one of the things I want to make time for when I get home is baking/cooking more, I have been relying more and more on convenience again, DSs are missing it aswell as me, must try to work out when I can fit it in, that said it used to be a Sunday thing so with coming here every week, that might change it again when we stop.

    Doing dinner later when DP gets back from his club, spag bol, have cooked the GB when doing the kids tea (as was using gas anyway) which will just need warming, first time I have used the gas in 7 weeks so didn't feel too miserly :rotfl: everything else has been cooked using their electric so hoping it has some impact on the next elec/gas bill.

    Argh, ping, electrics just gone off, brrr back out in the cold for me, where is the torch????
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
