    maybe I need a rule where for every hour of comping I do I have to read a book - I think that would make me get through them fairly quickly!

    wokkies - I never a had a school prom although apparently they started doing them the year after I left. In sixth form they just organised for us to go to a club for christmas which thinking about it now was so stupid of them as less than half of the year was 18 so I don't know why they even thought of doing that ! Hope you find a dress, I can't believe how much everything costs for these things! My cousin was telling me that someone from her class was buying a £400 dress for theirs :eek: I really hope that's not normal!
    :rotfl::rotfl:Apparantly some primary schools have a prom aswell before they go to 'big school'
    :confused:dont think I agree with that, then again I think the expense of the end of school prom is bad enough without having a few proms before they are 16 itms, £400 pound dont let dd hear you say that she 'WILL' think its the norm:rolleyes:
    looking for the comp for a nights sleep without little woks coming in asking me to go in his bed cos its not fair me an dad get to share:rolleyes:

    a while ago it was 4 mint choc chip cornetto for a quid
    and loads more even quality street ones, but not comping icecreams:confused:

    It's in the Magnum thread sally, apparantly one guy spent £1,000 on them and won £5,000 - theres other stories on other forums about people washing them down the sink just to get the codes etc too, I am appauled by the whole thing to be honest, I hate greed.
    That ain't working! That's the way to do it, money for nothing and TV's for free ;)

    you what
    my god, going overboard, yes greedy,
    what a waste washing them down the sink
    some people are not normal, would you spend that amount of money on magnums - I certainly would not

    Washing them down the sink is just...can't find the words!!
    Can't believe someone would do that, when people haen't got food in the world!!
