    i dont really buying things online unless im using paypal though :o

    You should use a standalone credit card. If there is any problem, the cc company wont help you if you've gone through PayPal.

    (Alchohol is making me more sociable. :D )

    And unable to [STRIKE]smell[/STRIKE] spell!! :rotfl:

    We should also invite Edinburghlass as she's been a good pal to me and is always in the background ready to buck me up when needed. (We can ignore the fact she's thin :rolleyes:....or we could feed her chips maybe? :confused:)

    Thoughts?

    Yes please & the more the merrier!! :D

    Ok, gotta go now (was that the sound of collective sighs of relief I heard?!) Will catch up on the icing meet later or tomorrow :wave:

    Oh I really think we should have an icing meet. (Alchohol is making me more sociable. :D ) I wouldn't mind being fat amongst you lot. :rotfl: We should put pins in a map and find the most central point. :D

    The National Express 'funfares' are very good. Been twice to Wolves n back. !st time £1 each way, this time £5 eachway. V cheap and worth a visit to the website :)

    I'll join in the meet as long as you all promise not to tell me I don't need to lose weight :rotfl: That'd be too scary to accept :)

    Sweet, i have emailed lowcarbmegastore complaining cos i added two glutens and two pastas to see the postage for you but it was £4.95.
    So i added seven pastas and twas the same, then i only had one pasta on its own and was still the same amount.

    ...

    Focus, this is a post from back in May.
    As you can see, its worth getting a few items as p&p remains the same.

    After further scrutiny, i can now see it. :D

    Ooh, i love a nice wedding.

    Congrats to your bro and his bride to be :beer:

    Have a fab time, and tell us all about it tomorrow.

    It went really well thanks. I've taken loads of pics, but I cant get photobucket to work :confused: Oh and everyone loved the cake :D
    Anyone know owt about Peebles?? That's where hubby is suggesting we go because he's never been there before. Tbh I'm just grateful to be going anywhere. :rolleyes:

    Peebles is about 15 miles down the road from me. It's a lovely place...well situated for walking, biking etc. You can also go into Edinburgh for the day. The Festival starts around the 8th of August.
