    I have NEVER won with mine though - and DD (who MAY have £100 x 3 too - I would have to check) has only won £50 once. Stunningly last time they won together...I was all excited because the letters come addressed to ME!

    As I say it is out of sight lol, I did not get chance to sort through my junk as there is loads and its going to take a long time. So I have bagged it neatly and stored in on my shelf's, that way its off the floor and it dnt look as bad.

    When I had my double bed which is now my 5 year olds bed lol I used to kick loads under there.

    Just done a HHI, trying to get it all up to date before i go back to uni on monday. Looking forward to it, think my brain slowly turns to mush when its not being used properly.

    Gryfon Isn't it ridiculously expensive to escape this rock and don't get me started on kennel charges. Mind you the lady who minds my dog walks them about 4 times a day so I shouldn't complain. it's like a doggy spa lol

    Wow lucky dog! Not sure sure where to send my dog now, it all gets expensive. Trouble is now HD Ferries aren't running it does seem a lot more expensive! Last year we went over 2 or 3 times as at about £125 return trip it wasn't too bad.

    Suppose I should feed both of us!

    Haven't managed to get into the Bedsty yet as OH has still not surfaced so I tidied the fruit and veg corner of the ktichen, threw out anything mouldy and discovered I have about a month's worth of onions. It now looks lovely and tidy, also cleaned the metal bit on the floor in the doorway - getting desperate lol
    Luckily my Amazon delivery came :D so reading my new
    The Big Book Of Recipes For Babies, Toddlers and Children, which looks like it'll be good (was on sale) and also my new (2nd hand) copy of
    Ask SuperNanny (I just love her, my SIL is like a blonde version of Jo Frost and has all the same ideas which I usually agree with so I think I'm going to enjoy smugly reading this book in the knowledge that I'm doing most of it already, though I'm hoping for a few tips for dealing with them as they get older as I only have toddlers at the moment.) :o
    Do you think my friend will be offended if I give her a copy? She's got 3 DSs under the age of 5 and could probably learn a lot from it. But I don't want to seem patronising. (Like I'd ever patronise anyone :rolleyes: )

    I would give you my friends number but since the infamous 'dead dog' incident they've been fully booked for months if not years to come. I'm lucky as she'll take mine with short notice if the unlikely chance of a holiday comes up. She just goes in with their own dogs and revels in the attention.

    Do you now have a friend who could house / dog sit for you?

    I've not taken the car to France or England as too scaredy cat to drive on those big roads. It seems weekends away are more expensive than one long holiday................... now I'm dreaming:rotfl:

    I've been trying to think of a friend but I can't think of any. Well I can think of one who did offer ages ago but I don't see her much and think it would be a bit rude to phone and ask :rotfl: BTW my parents left their two dogs at the kennels where the dead dog was, got them back in one piece a week and a half later :rotfl: There was a very long form to fill in though with lots of questions about your dog.

    I think I've stalled cleaning wise. Have a photography AGM tonight and I'd like to be on the committee but it's scary putting yourself forward, so worried about that. Also now stressing about this holiday, fed up of borrowing money from family to do things.
