    No, actually I just bought a small bottle - 375ml - to give it a try :T

    Linda are you going to do a DFW pamper thread? Tuesday would be good :j ;) I think everyone could do with a bit of relaxing and destressing before Christmas...

    BB that is !!!! of Argos, they let Snaggles down as well - not good for their reputation is it!

    Well we had a lovely morning at the play centre, and turkey and cranberry baguettes for lunch - it's great coming home to a clean tidy house and not having to think about what to eat. OH is trying to get DS back to sleep so we can do the tree... but to be honest I'm quite comfy here on the sofa :confused:

    sigh....I need to start work on AQA..... :(

    The second job I applied for at the council which was a mix of my backgrounds is, I'm assuming a 'no'. It's 2.5 weeks since it closed. Hey ho, it was a huge long shot as it was only my background that fitted rather than other bits.

    My finances are spinning a bit out of control and as soon as Christmas is out of the way, I need to get my life sorted.

    I did have a voicemail from the tax office though over the £800 bill I'd had to say they had altered my return so I can pay it monthly alongside my PAYE as I'd originally wanted. She said though it would be on my 2010 code? I thought it would be on my 2009 code? Ah well, whenever it is, i'll live with it. Better than paying it all in one go. I know I should set aside money, but I don't earn enough as it is to cover everything!
    :D"Stay Wonky":D

    We can certainly start one on Tues but I won't be in until later because I'm working all day!
    How about a Christmas Eve pamper thread?

    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.

    Do the HMRC not mean that they will take it from you 2009/2010 tax code (which starts in April 09) as we are already in 08/09.

    My finances need a bit of a bomb up their bum too BB:rolleyes:
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.
