Rainmac Sounds like DS is starting to feel better,lets hope it continues and he is ok to go to footie trainning. Plus it will save you having to 'Scoop the doop' :rotfl:Thankyou for my thankyou card,the postie just brought it. Its beautiful!!!. Thankyou for thankyou... Now if there was a competition for thankyous i would win that :rotfl:

Fluffypig Hope you have a super party. Sausages or not. Sorry i never made MSN. Bit of a drama here, will tell you when we catch up

Goochie I have my fingers crossed for your second interview Sending you washing machine fairies to hope they fix your machine. Tell them its silly now and ask for a new one ... Would probably work out cheaper than the launderette.

Rufusdog I love your lists too.. They remind me to get off here and get something done

Sylphraven :hello: Hmmmmm feels like i am busy doing nothing !! Always busy but never managing to get it all done :rotfl: Will try to see if i can catch you today for a catch up.

Rusty You know my feelings on everything thats happened on that there nappy place :mad: Just wanted to send you a :kisses3: Hope youre feeling better soon.

So sorry if i have missed anyone. Just incase huge hugs to everyone xx

Thanks everyone, I am still way over excited! :rotfl:

I was up at 8.22 today!! :eek: I was just so excited about my prize I rung my mum up as soon as I got up My time of the month arrived though and brought lots of horrid pains with it and i've got a cold so I took some beechams and strong painkillers and fell back asleep for a couple of hours, pains have eased a bit now luckily

And yes of course you can all fit in my suitcase, the more the merrier

Just checked where the hotel is and it's in the middle of nowhere! Train station is right over the road though so that's handy. They emailed me back before to say I should get the prize in the post in the next 4 weeks

Rusty - that woman is really being a pain in the backside isn't she! I'd find it very hard not to tell her to just go and get stuffed but not in those words :rotfl: Sorry about your OH's paypal account, what a nightmare, least paypal picked up on it really quickly, hope they sort it out

Furry - your party sounds great, I wanna come!! Hope you all have a brilliant time

Goochie - good luck with your second interview

I started writing this ages ago and I got distracted! :rotfl:

OK I am off to curl up with my hot water bottle and my harry potter book.

Have a good day ladies xx

Blooming kids :rolleyes: DS1 hasn't pooed all morning so haven't been able to fill his little pot and get it to the docs, needed to be there by 11.30am :rolleyes: If he's getting better then great. He's booked for footie training for the next couple of days so may be able to go as he's really been looking forward to it.

Rusty, so sorry to hear that woman is still bothering you and that you have hurt your back, you weren't trying to dig a big hole for her to fall in were you Don't do too much and hurt your back more will you.

rufusdog, I love your lists, you are so much more organised than me. Note to self, get more organised! I was organised last year and had lists and everything.

furrypig, your Easter party sounds fab ! With all that going on I don't think anyone will miss the sausages

Rainmac, if I didnt do the list and keep the note book in my bag all the time I wouldnt be at all organised. I find it really helpful to see at a glance what I have done and need to do and best bit is as its on here OH wont be reading it lol.

Hi everyone,

does anyone know where I can get the Gingham eau de toilette or a perfume? I googled through the uk perfume sites and nothing. Thanks. xxx

That is all I can find. I have never used the perfume heaven myself though so not sure if they are ok or not

Hi Rusty - thank you very much. Yes, I found the website as well but it's out of stock there. And I will NOT touch ebay. Thank you for your help. I think I'll try emailing the perfume website. Thank you. :A:A:A xxx

The perfume is a special birthday request and of course I didn't know it was gonna be this hard. I thought, ok Boots will have it, but no. Anyhow, I'll find it somewhere.
Thank you Rusty. :T xxx (BTW - did that lady stop bothering you now?) Sue her !!! off. I would. :-)
ETA: Actually, a bit of positive thinking, and giving someone enough rope ...dykwim? :-)

Aaaahhh, never occured to me, I must ask. But I am kind of certain that it must be the original Gingham perfume (the one that Rusty posted for me). I don't know...sometimes that's the trouble with perfumes once they not in fashion anymore. My fave is the Priscilla Presley's Indian summer. Hard to get, I get it from Europe. Thanks Mel. :A:A:A xxx
P.S. I'll try amazon as well.

She hasn't no, but she has finally listened and took it off the forum. She emailed this morning wanting everything on the website changed, but she is skating on thin ice as OH will only put up with so much and she is quite abisive in the emails she is sending the company now. OH is sorting it all for me though bless him

As for sueing her, well she is trading on my trademarked name which is always a no no ... we have solicitors lined up and ready to go should the need arise

Aurora, I have done some research and Gingham is a perfume popular in the 70's by Innoxa and is very hard to get hold of. This is why all the sellers are on Ebay, probably selling theirs that they have found.

I found this seller:
http://www.perfume-heaven.co.uk/epages/perfumeheaven.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/perfumeheaven/Products/294

Apparentely the men loved Brut and the women loved Gingham.

If this is the one, then it is discontinued now and very hard to get hold of so grab some whilst you can
