    Just dry stuff on the airer or outside when it's reasonably "nice"!

    I have found myself wishing for one when both DD1 and 2 were smaller and using washable nappies, that's the only real time I've seriously thought about it. Plus we have very little space anyway so it would take up a huge chunk of the kitchen LOL!

    Hey guys, sounds like everyone has had positive days and people are enjoying their break's.

    Lemma, sorry to hear about your guniea pig, am sure its gone to a better place.

    Tallie, no i haven't seen the new baby range, sounds nice though.

    Pipsmum, my list ins unfortunately short as most of my day is accounted for and as most people will know, i hate having a list that short!! I have sneaked in a few more things though!!

    Have some lovely news though! As most people on here know, i started up my business last year. I just wanted to let you know how it is going and that its going from strength to strength.

    Last week i got approached by a national company who want to take me on on a self employed basis doing pamper parties for them, this was three days after putting my pamper party treatments on my website. Just now i have taken a booking for a huge pamper party not related to this company but someone who found me through my webiste. Again this is huge progress for me and am very excited about how it is doing and wanted to share it with you all!!

    On another note, those people who live in Hampshire and want to take part in the small dfw thread meet, pm me and we can get the ball rolling!!

  • Hey all - MOT and service came to (drumroll please) £195. Not bad for a big service and an MOT on an 8 year old car! I'm pretty chuffed. Was expecting to be about £800 for getting that and the dent repaired last month. Instead I have change of £300!

    Also took back a pair of £3 trousers from Sport Direct that didn't fit and got a credit note for £3!
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!
  • Hey Andan, that is the best news! Well done, i think the idea is great, id love to do this for my birthday this year or mum for mothers day. Im going to a free smart health day tomo really into this stuff now!

    Although, bad me jsut had a happy meal. fuel for researching for essay. And i got ingredients from tesco to make nachos and fajitas for dinner tomo. Kinda healthy i suppose.
