    beki - thanks that does make me feel better :)

    roxieW - expired on 30th nov sorry dude :( however, if you use the voucher finder on hotukdeals (find it easier than MSE) search for snapfish, trueprint, tesco photo, jessops, photobox, you are bound to come across one or another


    I miss our leader today (PLM)! I hope her kids are OK :)

    Gah. I have to go onto effing bedrest. I'm supposed to fly to England tomorrow, and instead I will be in my bed in Germany hoping that being horizontal will keep the beastie in place long enough to bake.

    Oh, right, I'm pregnant :)

    But don't get too excited. I'm only six weeks in and it's already getting complicated.

    Congratulations!!

    Please do look after youself xxx

    At least you're here to cheer us on Jamtart!! She's prob busy with the little ones, hopefully they are all snuggled up together on the sofa watching the nightmare before Christmas whilst drinking snowman soup!!

    I'm back from work and about to go and get DD from school and see how much money she made from the sale at school (lots I hope!!)

    My to do list is ............

    make a proper to do list!!

    I need to see everything that needs to be done and get a move on!!

    Disney Swim N Splash Baby Pooh

    Figured theres a few people on here with little people and its Fisher Price suitable from 18months so may be a steal for next Years Birthdays or Christmas :)

    (has ordered a few lol)
    Love is the answer. At least for most of the questions in my heart,
    Like why are we here? And where do we go?And how come it's so hard?
    It's not always easy,And sometimes life can be deceiving,
    I'll tell you one thing, its always better when we're together

  • hi everyone - sorry - I need more help in addition to the dairy free snowman soup, I am making 2 x pre-christmas little hampers for adults, I am thinking mince pies, christmas pudding but that's about it. Any more ideas? Please.
    Big thanks.

    How about a mini bottle of wine, christmas shaped haribo, christmas shaped marshmallows, a cracker?, make some gingerbread men?

    Last day for the £20 Quidco today. I think they'll change the rules again next week as they still have £63k to give away so not too bothered but we seem to be doing quite well on the bottom row of the bingo card. I might be doing empire direct. I think Saville co. will be the problem! if the cashback ups next week we might do OK :D there is no way I'll be buying anything to complete the line just for the sake of £5. it is only a bargain if you need it and would hate anyone to spend more than they were going to so no pressure from our team :D (some of the other teams have been slating each other in the Quidclans :rotfl:for not spending enough!! :eek:)
