    I've just been to have the kids photos done and DS was a little terror-only the promise of sweets AND McDonalds got him into the shots and then he sat there with a scowl...little sod.

    DH is coming back in a sec to pick us up and we are off to the garden centre for a wee mooch around-DH needs a BIG shed for the garden so we can start the extension on the house...they have a great aquatics centre there so the kids can stare at Nemo and Dorey, lol

    I really must get on with the ironing...

    Speaking of virtual shopping, I have a confession to make :shhh: .

    I sometimes do a "if I had all the money in the world" online shop with Sainsburys. Then I cancel the order.................:o

    for you yes but this dieting thing is doing something weird to me because I don't fancy sweet stuff anymore!

    Bunny, I take DS to the garden centre to look at the fish too but last time there was a axilottle (sp) or something that freaked me out, v wierd and ugly and don't know why anyone would want it as a pet!:confused:

    Morning, just :D

    Another custard cream fan here, although I don't think there is any biscuit I wouldn't eat :think: nope...like them all.

    Miss Twit is still in bed...grrr teenagers....I am trying to bully her into moving then she can get her homework done and her room tidied a bit before she goes to work at 5.30.
    Think she is working until 8.30 or 9, I'm sure it costs me more in petrol than what she earns :rolleyes:

    Like Anniestar from yesterday, I'm another refugee that has found her way home to DFW.
