  • Yeah I meant to say, love the avatar Maz! I wish I had a nice picture of me and DS to use.

    Getting into bed is a great idea. He is pretty pliable when asleep, I often have to retrieve him from the top of the cot and pull him down, etc, he rarely even notices. That can be OH's job :cool:

  • so did anyone actually manage to get anything in woolies sale yesterday then? Our local police were called to handle the crowds LOL then there was mayhem as goods hadnt been reduced to 1/2 price as stated.

    There was nothing in our Woolies reduced more than 20%. Loads of people wandering aimlessly. No signs saying that it was a closing down sale. I had a list of things I needed to buy (I DO go regularly), but they had NOTHING! And some of the prices have GONE UP, in the "sale", since two weeks ago.
    EG boxex of chocs 2 for £6, now £4.29 each - 20% = Still more expensive (my maths is pants!)!

    There was a queue outside at 8.30 again this morning (they open at 9). Prices have not changed apparently. Just the media creating a panic.:confused:
  • You should have seen the crowds at Big W in Bradford... they were like vultures scavenging the bones of the carcass.
    I didn't go in, they were queuing out of the car park!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    :grouphug: thanks IA. Just one of those 'people who use nurseries are pure evil!' types :rolleyes:

    How are you doing anyway?
  • I went to Woolies yesterday and it was pants. Had MFI flashback though as the POS used is all the same from when we closed down the store...*sigh*

    DD, those crayons look brill-I bought these dead chunky crayons ages ago and they were worth it! My DD loves to do artwork and is very good actually. (ok, ever so slightly biased??)

    Oh, did I tell you all, we got a phone call from DD school yesterday am and they had a spot going on the bus to the Panto-did she want to go???? !!!!!!. She went and loved it.
