    I've never watched Skins to be honest, I've never really fancied it. Did you just say you like something more than Lost :eek: Naughty naughty :naughty: :rotfl: :rotfl: :p

    I think I may have an ebay listing day today...or I might get them all ready and photographed today at least. I've now got an old digital camera (that I THINK works, i'll have to dig out some batteries to test it) An old 1gb iPod, two Nokia mobile phones, a gold bridesmaid dress....and I am considering selling some of Me To You bears. i've got about 50 of them and because i've got nowhere proper to display them, they live on my bedroom floor but they just look messy, plus my naughty hamster likes to nibble on them :rolleyes: :rotfl: One of the limited edition ones I've got sold for £45 on ebay last week...and i've got four of them! Hmmm I'll have to see whether I can part with them or not.

    OMG, I had serious guilt last night...I let my hamster out of his cage at about 10.30, we've made the room "hamster proof" and the door was closed, I got in bed to watch an episode of Dawsons Creek, with the intention of popping into check on Wispa every 10 minutes or so...well I was so engrossed in Dawsons Creek...I left him alone for 40 minutes :eek: I went in anyway and I couldn't find him...I decided he must be behind the wardrobe so i'm trying to coax him out with chocolate drops...when I hear a noise coming from a box behind me....somehow the little monkey had climbed into this box and got himself stuck under some ink cartridges (still sealed in box) I felt soooooo bad because I didn't know how long he'd been stuck in it, he wasn't hurt and he seemed happy enough when I got him out but I felt awful :o My poor little baby!! :rotfl:
    :heart: Think happy & you'll be happy :heart:

    I watch Skins. The first series I was a huge fan. This series I like it, but I'm not so sure. I think it's gone a bit OTT. Don't watch Lost at all :o

    Morning ladies. Just a quicky as I have a confession to make :rotfl:


    I have sat here this morning trying to work some stuff out and thought I had better come clean ...

    I managed to work out that I am not actually 25 ... I am actually 26 yet thought I was still 25 :rotfl: oh dear ... still I have it out of my system now and my OH is adament about winding me up with it.

    Not sure why I thought I was still 25 but I had to write all the years out on paper just to make sure :(

    I feel old now :(

    You have coaxed me out of lurking this morning, after all the fuss the other day about ages and you were really a year older all the time - hilarious!

    Hi everyone and all the newbies :hello:

    Will do a catchup later properly but wanted to just say have voted for puplegirluk1 baby in the comp twice, you can actually vote again if you clear your browser cache, which is a bit naughty but might be what the people with thousands of votes are doing...

    Hope the girls have a great day today and I too can't wait for the pics...I have my twins at home again today as still not well enough for Nursery unfortunately, but at least they should be back next week and I am going for a trip to London on Thursday so soooo glad they have all been ill this week and not next (fingers crossed)...am going to be seeing Hairspray and really looking forward to it..

    catch you all later xx
