hayley - a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge cyber hug for you, too. Take good care. xxx
No, I don't think it's illegal to do that unless you then share it (e.g. upload it to a website, make copies and pass them on...) But, who's gonna know anyway?
(Pls don't take this the wrong way - I am in no way encouraging illegal stuff. I am an honest person.)
BTW, how big is you hd? I want one of them tetra/mega/humongous/ as big as poss ones. I have masses of audiobooks, music and pics on different hd s and I would love to get it all on one but then if that would crush I would loose everything so I think i would get 2 of those then, I mean a backup for the backup. :-)
I am seriously off to bed now.

PS - yes, working the magic on the scrapbook apprentice. ;-)

Ooops, just noticed rainmac's post, well I can pm you the link if you like but really my blog is not that interesting. :-( Really. xxx

Are you sure bunbun? :-) There is not much on there now as I sort of deleted my previous posts when I was really mad. :-) I'll pm it tomorrow to rainmac and you, if you don't mind. I am really shattered now.
BTW, thank you bunbun. You are a little star. xxx

Goodnight then. xxx

Thank you - sending one right back at you

I got the hard drive off ebuyer, cost £50 and it's 500gb. It's pretty big though, some of them are tiny so you can carry them round but they cost more. Martin put one in his email last week I think, it was 1tb and cost around £70 I think, also from ebuyer.

Night hun xx

js - missed your post so have scrolled back to read it - blimey how did you pack so much carp into such a short space of time :eek: - big big hugs - trust is a weird thing I sometimes have to shut the little voice in my head up and repeat he loves me he married me over and over again :rotfl:.

was reading plms post and something clicked in my head - DD had a spate of nightmares a few weeks ago - have just worked out it was when she insisted on wearing socks to bed

I cleared out my clothes a few of weeks ago when we got wardrobes mainly to make enough space for all OH's :rotfl:.
They're sat on the spare bed waiting to be washed and listed on eBay together with a mountain of DD's that she's grown out of. When someone comes up with a motivation pill can I have some please as it just keeps reminding me how much washing and ironing I'll have to do first

evenin!

talking about weight and exercise - i used to play alot of decent standard netball. went back playing 3 weeks after having amelie but only played for one season before getting pregnant with ben. i have decided not to play this year as having 2 of them would be awkward to get a babysitter, plus OH plays rugby too! anyway, because of this i havent lost all the weight and should be called jelly belly instead of jellybaby.

i decided to try and lose some weight while the little ones were in bed and borrowed my sisters ministry of sound pump it up exercise video. i was BAD!!! i spent most of it jogging as i coudnt do the moves and then smacked my hand off the light fitting when lifting my arms and fused the house so was plunged into the dark. the really funny thing i that im a PE teacher and have to teach some basic aerobics!!:rotfl:

very excited as just booked tickets to go see Disney princesses on ice in oct with my little girl!! :T she loves them and makes me sing all the songs from the movies when we are in the car!

Thanks for the advice doctor PLM, very gratefully recieved x I remember reading what you wrote before so have had his bed propped up and using vapour rub every night. I reckon he might have some sort of infection cos he's just getting worse as time goes on - is sleeping like a babe now though - think he more passed out ocs he couldn't keep awake any longer. He's not really eating either which is so not like him - not even nice things like sweets and ice lollies!

Aurora - is your blog available to see or is it for your eyes only? I'd love the addy if I can have it ;-)

Hayley - You do have a social life, you have us! How about looking into making some crafty bits to sell? Would keep you busy and you'd be in contact with new people? Just an idea. You could set up a blog, join facebook, friends reunited... Look for a local book club to join - maybe your local library would have details?

Thanks I should look into something like this. I did apply to be a volunteer for CAB but haven't heard anything and they said the next training was starting in April, still could hear something I guess. I'd love to do that. I should do more crafty stuff though, I loved it when i'd done those cards, they were so pretty and i'd made them!

Hope your little one is feeling better soon

Jellybaby - I would love to see Disney on Ice!!! Is that wrong because i'm in my late 20's? :rotfl:

Everyone here always seems to be the 'heard firmly screwed on and knowledgable in life' sorta people so when I have some advice I feel like I am preaching to a choir (what does that even mean?)

Rainmac I know it is horrible when they act odd and I hope he perks up soon the poor little baby. My two weren't getting any better so for the first time in their life I got them some antibiotics as the temperatures were peaking 42 and little Emily is so small she really was suffering. Do you think it is time to reign in the antibiotics for him? Mommy (or mummy lol) always knows best and i'm sure you can gauge what he needs better than anyone xx I'm always here if you need me for anything at all.

Scattymam You are lovely xx You give me so much advice and laughter all the time it feels so good when I give you something back, so thank you.

Paddy Isn't it stupid what a pair of socks can do!! I remember having really bad nightmares as a kid and I used to wear two or three pairs to bed in winter LOL!!

Jammy I was thinking a while ago about starting a little light hearted diet thing, like Rudolph club but once a week and making it a weigh in. If you wanted to do it.. or maybe someone else.. that would be very awesome. I am not ready for a diet yet but want to prolly in the next month and change for life. That could be the title actually as it is what most of us want to achieve and could do with.. A change for life. All participants could PM the organiser their weights to the nearest lb with the stones omitted so we could see how much was lost or gained each week.

i.e

Hello Jammy
this week I weigh
XX stone 4lb
loss = 2lb

Thankoo

I thought we could all encourage each other with recipes, have a laugh and share out stories once a week. Sorry i'm rambling.

I know what you mean about it being a bit miserable when you dont lose anything, but don't give up hope do you exercise? i am so lazy I never do, I need to get back into it, and have been thinking about finding an online exercise buddy to keep each other motivated. when i used to do weight watchers a group of us would set an exercise target for the week and id keep tabs on it on my webspace - it was very motivating! if anyone fancies joiining me on something similar then PM me! it could be fun to start up again

I am dreadful about doing excersise!! i actually joined a gym before it was built once thinking I could get fit (prior to having kids) and got pregnant sooner than i thought! I used it I think in total in a year 6 times so each visit cost me £££'s! I joined a gym here and only did an aqua aerobics class once a week so again worked out an expensive class!! I like walking but don't really get the chance to do it much.

Would be money aving to have an online buddy but not sure if it would motivate me much as I am soooo bad!!!

What did you do Jammy???

pinkladymel

Hayley I am completely inseperable from my Dh and we do everything together. We have only spent one night apart in 6 years (the night I had our son and he was sent home whilst I slept after the birth lol) I sometimes feel so blissfully happy but then other times I just feel like everyone else is having such an amazing life and nobody wants me!! When I do finally get friends and go places I never want to go because I miss him. I can't win!! You live your life the way you want and be happy xx we are all friends here!

I've got a denim cat suit to put on ebay, hasnt fit me for about 6 years but I love it sooooo much (its a size 6 & I'm now a 14)

Can I just say there is absolutely no way that you are a size 14!!!

Sorry Sylphraven but that's what you are sylph like (if it's the same spelling!!??) you are petite and slim and I would say a size 10 max!!!
