    Mudbath I've been wondering how the first weekend away went :D
    torianut cooeeeee welcome back

    Oh speaking of caravans, I've sort of ordered a new one. I've paid a deposit but awaiting finding out if finance will go through (very low APR and they are offering me more than mine cost :D for mine, shhhh don't tell them that, told you I'd got a bargain hehe) and if we can have one of the May run. DP said if we'll have to wait until after September (next run after that) we're waiting for the new models to come out. I find out tomorrow :D if we're getting a HUGE thing of a caravan. http://www.caravanselecta.co.uk/Advert/Display-Touring-Caravan-For-Sale.aspx?id=21531 same as that, pictures a bit dark. Basics of it are bunks won't last our 2 much longer, DP wants a fixed bed but I don't want to loose seating space so we're going for a 6 berth.

    Carbon footprint, I was amazed how little of the greenhouse gases is carbon dioxide.....but please not too much global warming chatter as I'm still recovering from that part of my course :rotfl:

    Size, I think DPs is about average.........battery powered one comes in handy for me however.

    Oh I'm in, did I mention that bit?....probably not. Ooooo I have the morning off tomorrow, don't need to go out until 11.30am so far :D apart from school dash/dog walk
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Ohh, Dusty, would you take the TV stand that I got my Mum yesterday (only to find that she had one sitting there as a cupboard for 1001 videos... :confused: ) I am going to try to go tomorrow on the way home from work as it's quieter on a Monday... (she say's with her fingers crossed...)

    Quillion's in between me and you AnWsMum! - though slightly closer to me! If she were on the map she'd be in Valliland, as would Mummyof5

    I can add more people to the map if you want - Flyladies Map - at the moment I'm not catching all the thread because of work so PM me to let me know where you are and I'll add you in...

    Talking rabbits...we still have one of the original pink duracell ones that beats a drum!!!! I'm sure that must be what you're talking about!!!

    Talking of tv's ...i've still not replaced ours but i'm still paying for a tv license...I really must make a decision about whether to get a new one.

    Time for bed now....fresh air makes you sooooooo tired! Night all xx
    That's the one I thought they were on about too Mudbath, see, we're not dirty minded are we... :o
    You do know you can put your TV licence on hold don't you? Tell them you have no TV at the moment so you can stop paying... £11+ a month is £11+ better in your pocket....

    Wow, I thought I had teetered and fallen the wrong side, thanks for that toots.... :p Can't believe it, no-one has ever said I'm sane before, and probably never will again... Toots, you do get out into the real world don't you?... (only kidding honey x) :rotfl:
