Mumoftwo: Glad you got your car back! I'll bet that makes you happy!

And it wasn't me on the radio, that's for sure!



Bet it was fun to listen to though..

Can we stop talking about scary electric cuts and gas shortages and get back to grated carrots and potting sheds? :rotfl:

Or you could go in the other direction - and after all I gotta give BigMummaF summat to go round saying "that darn Ceri - what will she find next?" about.....and read the first of my two posts I put on "me blog" today:D

washing my babys clothes today, using half the recommended amount of fairy and some good ol' white vinegar. :j

Its much warmer today than yesterday, the wind has died down so glad!

How can i reduce postage on a parcel i have to send out. Its really light so do i fit it into the smallest packet i can find or will it not matter?

It wasnt me on radio Scotland either. But the Scotsman had some of the same. We are becoming fashionable, ladies !!

I'm not an intellectual - I like my stuff at "yer average intelligent 6th former in the street" level myself and this "filled the bill" re the Financial System - as in explaining in a humorous comprehensible way whats what re Money (summat we are all wondering about right now - as we are trying to figure out just how banks can be "crashing and burning" around us all of a sudden like they are at present):

"Money as Debt"

an amusing little video - 47 minutes worth (its in 5 parts - click through the sections at the side to watch the rest - they are a bit out of order - but all there).



(Jeez - don'cha just love living in "interesting times"......hmmmmm)

Well i was supposed to be making shepherds pie but we have no carrots, i fell asleep at 6 for an hour :rolleyes: and its 8pm already! Just bunged in some hollands pies and some croquettes shepherds pie tomorrow

Well ironed one basket full of baby clothes, last lot is in wash still umming and arr-ing about washing the brand new clothes - does it need doing? Or reckon it is ok to leave? Got some hand knitted stuff i will be washing by hand tomorrow too!

eee, going to check on tea x

Happytails, personally I would wash the new stuff. It will get rid of any dressing and stiffness still in the fibres, as well as any dust and loose threads.
I'm sure I recall once reading that clothes imported were 'fumigated' whilst in transit

happytails

Thanks Whatawit, i will wash these tomorrow! I had sensitive skin when i was a baby so trying to reduce the chance of my little one having a rash or whatever

If you can put the parcel in an envelope and get it as thin and narrow as you can as it has to fit through a measuring slot it should save you money in postage.

You're very organised Happytails! I'm not that far ahead on the baby clothes front :rolleyes: I just keep nagging DH ALL THE TIME to get the spare room sorted. for the baby.. I said I want it sorted before Christmas... we will see. It just needs old stinky carpet taking up, walls painted and new floor put down (he wants to replaster ceiling but that isnt essential).

The other reason I want it done is cos its quite scary when you think I finish work on 6th Feb (14 ish working weeks left - I am so sad I counted!!) Is I havent got that many 'proper' pay packets left!

We will wait and see. Had hair cut tonight at M-I-L's so she cooked us tea too. I used to pay £50 for highlights and nice cut every 6-8 weeks (More than a year ago now!) and now its £13 for me and DH to have hair cut every 6 weeks. Bargain! Sorry to have waffled everyone! x
