I am so glad the whole MOM thing has been explained!! I always thought, ooh there's a few americans on this thread! But I know another woman from Birmingham who says mom. Well you learn something new everyday!

Had a lovely day today, we didn't go and get my bag, we didn't get up in time :rotfl:

We went round to my cousins, saw her gorgeous little baby, aww she really is so gorgeous, I asked if I could take her home, funnily enough they said no :rotfl: Got a nice pic of my OH holding her, made me even more broody! My cousins little boy played me and my OH at pool, he's only 5 bless him and he kicked our bums He was so pleased though, she messaged me on Facebook before saying he keeps saying he's the champion :rotfl:

3 of my things on ebay have got bids and some more have watchers. Really hope I sell them all. I've have to buy some jiffy bags to post the stuff in. Got loads more to list tomorrow, oh it's so boring! :rotfl:

Shelley - really sorry about your dog, I think i'd be like you, wanting it over a done with, I think it's best for everybody, especially the dog but at the same time I can understand your dad might be finding it hard to let go. Big hugs to you all

Scatty - your layout is gorgeous

PLM - We've been trying for a baby since November but we're not like "actively" trying in that i'm not taking any ovulation tests or anything like that, if it happens - it happens, if not - we don't mind waiting Saying that after seeing that baby today, we might be trying a bit harder next month :rotfl:

Jammy - I agree with mum2one, a voucher for a facial or something is a lovely pressie. I got a voucher for a full body massage and I was really pleased with it, I love being pampered but can never justify paying for it myself. I do think flowers are lovely as well, flowers always cheer people up

Oh i'm sleepy but my OH wants to play on his PS3 for a bit and thinks if I can to bed by myself, it means i'm in a mood :rolleyes: :rotfl: So I am staying up watching gavin and stacey

Morning everyone! :hello:
Gosh you do post quickly, I can't keep up!!!

Meant to ask you girls, Xyron Vs. Sizzix (or any other die-cut machine). Which is better? Can you tell me pros/cons? I've only used the Big Shot and absolutely love it but noticed a Xyron at nearly half the price

Let the war begin

And just realised that question should go in the Scrapbooking thread

Just a quick good morning to you all I'm going to drop DS to nursery then off to aerobics, I'm feeling guilty for having an indian last night!!

Rainmac Awh he is so cute! What's this squeezy thing all about then? saying that I'm not sure I want to know if I'll end up wanting one!

Shelley The weight loss is driving me insane now, the last 8lb seem to be the hardest to shift, I'm so determine to get there but it's so difficult. How are you finding Slimming World?

Ah so we haven't got Americans on here after all! I did often wonder when I saw people using Mom!

my MIL lives in Sutton Coldfield but is originally from the Black country (I think!) and she always writes mom. I never realised it was because she was from the midlands! but my OH who was born and brought up there says mum! maybe that's because Sutton Coldfield is posh:rotfl:

I know it's not reindeer day yet but wanted to let you know that I've won this little Quickutz chap on ebay today...


2nd hand, including p&p he is a fiver. Hope to use him for Xmas cards and tags and maybe to deocrate items if I do a couple of Xmas craft fairs. I think he's adorable

:eek: Rainmac that is sooooo not MSE of you!!!!! I mean how very rude of you to keep outbidding me :rotfl: I only put in 2 bids then decided that I really can't afford to buy it as nice as it is :rotfl: I wonder how many other dies you have been having a bidding war against me with :rotfl: Sorry for making it cost you more!!

Morning ladies, sending hugs to anyone who needs them xxx

Had a fantastic time bowling yesterday. we had 2 games although the second wasn't a full game as we were limited to 1 hour. it only cost £10 which is a fantastic price considering it could have been so much more if we went at a different time etc! both kids loved it and it cheered up OH so much

On fri my cheques came from love2recycle so we have £97 back from them for recycling 3 of our old phones. I had my qype voucher but I am tempted to sell it on ebay so we have a bit more money as I don't know if I will use it for anything. I need to have a proper look. Also I managed to cash in enough points on just the answer to get 3 x £5 amazon vouchers so I have sent off for them and should have my vouchers within the next 28 days This gives me enough for another pressie for someone as it is money neutral.
We sold a game on ebay yesterday one of OH's it came with his new xbox but we don't need it so listed it with a buy it now of £30 and within 20 mins it had sold!!! :eek: so thats to be posted today. I have another xbox which needs listing on ebay aswell and need to finish off some crafty bits and get them listed on there :eek: feel like I live on ebay lately!

Hope everyone has a fantastic day xxx
