    furrypig - inoticed that earlier and thought it was odd/new and hadnt seen you with a link! click on usercp half way up the screen (where it says welcome furrypig) and then click edit your signature on the left. you should be able to edit it...unless a forum team has done it...but they usually put "FT3" at the end to tell that it was done by them. If you can't undo it just PM one of the board guides!


    :eek::eek::eek:Avon VALIDATED but not stamped - ye gods! it is interflora all over again!!! We are now missing interflora, avon, pc world, saville row...any more?!

    sometime in the future lol -

    decide on paint colour
    decide on wall tiles
    buy tiles from homebase
    get quotes for floor/wall tiling
    instruct builder for floor/wall tiling
    finish wrapping
    write and post cards

    basically, due to builders in, and family commitments I've got sat and tues in which to do all this. both days oh is out galavanting on various xmas do's so i'll also have to boys to look after by myself. really on the verge of tears now and he's sooo stressing me out more by trying to get me to argue tiny things with the kitchen fitters - things that dont even matter - but he wont do it because he's at work all day blah blah blah. i know! I'm the one sat in the dust and the drilling all day with a 4 year old, 7 months preganant and ill. i'm mad but he's asleep so i cant even shout at him :mad:

    Men, they come down with a cold and take to bed, hope your going on ok, sending a big hug.
    U take care xx

    Can anyone tell me if Topshop and dorothy perkins are the same group? if i got topshop vouchers could i spend them in dotty p's??

    Yep you should be able to use them as Im 99% sure there owned by the Arcadia Group, just check the back of the gift voucher.

    happy spending

  • YESSSS! ELC finally came through with the Santa present for DD2!! :T I am very happy now. Hadn't realised quite how bothered I was about it - just the thought of letting her down and Santa not bringing what she asked for was horrible.

    Carol Concert was lovely - the children all sang beautifully.

    DD1 has two parties today - she has a better social life than me!

    I don't know about anyone else but I am struggling to get up in the mornings now!! I can't wait for Saturday when the kids are finally off school and we can stay in our jammies!!

    Morning All

    Had a lovely time at DS Christmas Concert last night - although couldn't see him - we wee sat on wrong side of stage. Always makes me feel Christmassy when I can have a good carol sing!

    Back to today - hopefully, Dishwasher Engineer will be putting in an appearance - could do with it sorted pre Christmas! So as I have to stay in, am going to do lots of lovely Christmas cooking and pre prep (that's my pledge for today too!)

    Hope everyone is starting to feel better!

    Jx
