    Xmas Saver!
    I had this from one of the click sites - a birthday greeting, but thought it was so nice, and may come in useful for someone

    Birthday wishes just for you!

    Today you celebrate another year of life
    may it be filled with lots of happiness with no hint of strife

    know that these are not the least of things I wish for you
    such as a magical day where all of your hearts dreams come true

    Have a great Birthday with many more to come
    filled with family, friends and much fun.

    I have now got a new piggy bank on the go - going to be for £2 coins, as I want to go to Las Vegas, in the yr of my 40th......... or when I become debt free, so piggy will be my savings.

    At mo - 50ps - DD " I want to swim with dolphins account"

    Loose chain - " DD - Surprise for when shes 18, a head start"

    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    Mum2one -thanks for poem glad you had a good day.
    Jamtart6 - thanks for tax alert have pm'd you about grandad.
    Furrypig - sorry - no idea about bunnies but perhaps it's a 'spring' thing.
    Pinkladymel - you write so beautifully and always seem to say what I want to but better by far than I could ever put it down.
    Paddingtondoo - I'm quite scared of birds - its the flapping but I bet the babies will be cute quite soon. Lucky they are in aviary I worked with a lady once who had a 'free range' budgie never went in it's cage. I never ate there....:rotfl:

    Jammy Im sorry but the only way Liverpool will get there mits on the Champions league and Premiership trophy's is if they steal them from us :p (Cahmpions of the world dont you know;) )

    Haley Woooo United (clap clap clap) united (clap clap clap). My bf has a cousin who pretends to be from liverpool. She was born right here in Manchester but puts on fake scouse accents and the like and tells people she was born in Liverpool too. She isnt a child either she's 25!!!!! has three liverpool tattoos too!

    Furrypig I have bunnys and it sounds like the little lads are growling at you (they do growl) bunnys can reproduce all year round so it wont be springtime, its most likely there hormones. Have they been nuetered and are they kept in the same room as the girls? if so they can smell the girl bunnys. You might want to seperate them as they will probably start fighting and biting each other or get them snipped and then they can go in with the girls - but not for 10 weeks mind cos that how long it takes for all the little swimmers to completly die hth x x x

    Thanks for the link Jamtart ;);)

    Paddingtondoo - please post some piccies of your birdies :D

    Another busy day for me today :D In laws are coming down this morning but are rushing home before the boys come home from school:mad: to pick up our nephew from school ( even though my SIL is at home sitting on her skinny a**). Sorry had to have a little rant about that but my little boy was breaking his heart last night because they always have to rush off to pick my nephew up. Sil can't possibly do it as she has morning sickness :mad:. Talk about lack of responsibility its driving me nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Anyway on a lighter note I am going shopping tonight to buy new shoes for the boys and hopefully pick some bits up for our holiday :)

    You could combine the ''Swim with dolphins'' Piggy bank with the Vegas one as you can swim with the dolphins at Seigfried (sp?) & Roys Secret Garden. Im hoping to do that in May when I go (if it isnt ridicously expensive), they call it being a keeper for the day and look after some of the other animals and big cats too (me thinks) If I do it I'll fill you in x x x
  • Hi there Lovely Ladies, sorry not been posting much recently.

    PLM - so sorry to hear about your sister, how awful, I adore my sister and would be heartbroken if she were going through this.

    Happy Birthday to MHagster and mum2one. :beer:

    Sorry to hear about your gran Sugarspun, mine is in hospital with a broken hip (she's 96, but is getting much better care than yours by the sounds of it).

    Rusty - hope all goes well with OH and the bank, it must be a very worrying time, thinking of you.

    Aurora - thanks for thinking of me, I'm OK, I actually have an interview at 9am tomorrow (first round, 5 of us called for interview), so fingers crossed, I HATE interviews.

    Jamtart - sorry to hear about your grandad, you will make the right decision. Thanks for the link, made me smile.

    Hugs to all who need them (most of us by the sound of it).

    Shevs - that's so funny, a Manc pretending to be a scouser!! :rotfl:

    My mum went to school (she's blind so had to go to a special school) in Liverpool and she can do the best scouse accent ever, she cracks me up when she does it!

    I was up late again today but not feeling down like I was yesterday :j I couldn't sleep at all and I was still reading at 3am so no wonder I didn't get up early, I need at least 8 hours sleep or I am not a happy bunny!

    I'm supposed to be going away for a couple of days next week with my OH but we can't decide where we want to go! We were going to go to Gretna but we've decided we don't really want to pay that much train fare (£65!) so we want to go somewhere a bit closer. I bet we end up in Blackpool :rotfl: I do love Blackpool though :D I love making my OH walk through the passage of terror, he's such a wimp, I nearly wet myself laughing last time :rotfl:
    :heart: Think happy & you'll be happy :heart:
    I :heart2: my doggies

    Goochie - Good Luck with the interview tomorrow - I heard on the radio this morning advice to think about the questions you least want them to ask you & have an answer ready! It may help......
    Hayley11 - Pleasure Beach are now charging just to walk round (entry fee) not sure how much it is but please check before you go. The Zoo's good if the weather is fine (new baby giraffe & camels) Enjoy what ever you decide....
