Mum2one - If you've got a big tesco with clothes near you they have nice swimsuits reasonably priced. Sadly, they don't do them on line. Where are you going for your hols? Hope you enjoy.
Also, while I think on, do be very careful of the weight limits even on the way back home. (we got charged a fortune coming back from Tenerife)

Afraid to say Tesco dont stretch to cover me its Evans or Ann HArvey........
The last batch of swimsuits I managed to get from ebay as they were new, (just the thought of swimsuits have to be new), but there well wore, and do need replacing, but cant find any this time.
Were off to Tunisia, 10 days time, I'm exicted, but dd wants everything in her suitcase, usually get just under the limit with mine and slightly over when we come back, touch wood never been charged.

Look funny if they open my suitcase on way out BBQ sauce, Ketchup, couple tins mushy peas and gravy granules..... from the 1st time I went to this hotel, now be 3rd, (dds 1st), stayed in touch with the rep, shes English and misses the english touches......

Once I'm packed and dd sorted, shes bit up and down, 1st time abroad and her and Whisky (our dog) are absolutley inseperable. The 1st time I went abroad Whisky was not eating really down in the dumps, mum thought this is it, how do we tell her, the vet said he was mopeing.......... hes so funny, if he sees a suitcase hes goes in a mood and sulks.....

When we away (he comes with us), he runs round like a 2yr old, (hes 14 this yr), and the last day he goes in a stroop he doesnt want to leave he tries to get under the bed, the table, and literally has to be carried to the car...... hes a heavy weight...... xx

Ahhhh Mum2one poor old Whiskey - what a funny little dog How long are you going for?
We are off to Minorca in June for 10 days and Lola our dog has to go the kennels for the first time :eek: She has only stayed once overnight and they sent her home tail between her legs because they couldn't do anything with her. She is a Sharpei and they can be aggressive well she turned into a monster because she was so scared!!!!!!!! They won't have her back :o:o

Well did so some online window shopping for some new togs last night and as a result I have to start shifting my butt and getting some stuff on Ebay. I liked sooooooo much stuff.

Hope everyone has a good day today I'm off to visit my best friend's new build. I'm so excited she is moving in at Easter and I haven't seen it for a few months. It's on about the same scale as Southfork LOL x

mhagster

Lol - only joking! You don't have to have £500 but if you want......

I am digi-scrapping - so much fun! Should SO be in bed!

Erm .... I will stick to the £500 challenge I think Makes me feel worthwhile and even OH is impressed at my selling skills providing no one minds me doing a different challenge that is

I could never figure out digi scrapping, probably because I struggle with normal scrapping :rotfl: I guess there is time still

Mum2one - Can you look in Bon marche, they sometimes have some nice things and the sizes go up quite big. (I have had things from there before and they have been better than Evans and not quite as pricey )
Have you still got some space in your case for me?? Pets are funny little things sometimes. My cats used to sulk if I went away over night they used to stay away from me for a few days after but would always stay attatched to DS

Shelley - Have a nice time with your friend

Mhagster - How is the world in the eyes of a 40 year old? Hope your DD gets better soon and glad you had a fab day yesterday

Link to VOTE FOR MEL is here : http://www.creativitylifemag.blogspot.com

Were off for 2 weeks, cant wait...... sounds daft but I can say next week now! So far weve got planned 2 day trip to Sahara desert, evening at a safari park with zulu dancers, another evening trip to see belly dancers and thedaredevil horseback riding etc (pd for co surveys/ mystery shopping) x

Morning ladis sorry I havent been on over the weekend been very busy.

Mel - I am so so sorry to hear about your sister she is the same age as me and cant imagine what she is having to go through. sending lots of love and pray's your way.

Mhagster - Happy belated 19th anniversary of your 21st birthday, hope you had a great day.

Ladies we need to get voting for Mel, I just did my daily vote and she is in 3rd place 8 votes behind the leader. I am going to vote on BF's parents computer later on.

Well I made a right pratt of myself today at the gym..... fell off the bloody treadmill:rotfl: , grazed my knee, twisted my ankle and wacked my elbow non of that was in comparison to how red my face went but I picked myself up and carried on otherwise I would never of been able to show my face in there again. It will all be forgotten about soon though, luckily it wasnt that busy and I dont think that many people saw me........ thats me trying to make myself feel better about the situation x x x

mhagster

Shevs;that's why I wouldn't go near one....they are too dangerous and I would advise you not to go the gym and do as I do.....start on the box of maltesers!!
