    I spent about £30 on my changing bag from mothercare, it's a brown one, as OH wouldn't let me have the pink one, must say it's lasted well, we don't use it now and it's stuck in a cupboard but it's still in good condition and that's with OH leaving things like bananas in the front pockets for days to mouldify.

    i live with a black man its all about spices :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: x

    Good for preventing prostate cancer too apparently.....that's OH's excuse as he tips half a jar of jalapenos in my spag bol/chilli/lasagne.


    I have to make monthly trips to costco to get their 2 giant jars for £4 as he eats so much of them. Never vomit after eating some, I managed to get jalapeno seeds stuck in my nose (I always puke out my nose :o) and my beak was on fire for hours. Mucho hurtys

    I lurrrrrve these :D
    They are gorgeous. That's exactly the kind of thing I was thinking of doing (although not quite so many pictures) but decided that realistically(sp?) it would be months before I got round to doing it so bought some pictures instead.

    :p I just can't imagine spending that much on a bag. I was shocked when I saw ones in Boots that were £30. (But I might spend more money than you on coins, stamps, stamp albums, books and other things I collect.)
    It will be the most expensive bag I've ever bought :D These days I'm quality over quantity with most stuff, I've spent too long buying cheap stuff that only lasts 2 minutes - its false economy;)
    The most I've spent on a stamp it the 36p (or what ever it is theses days) for a 1st class one :D

    :TIts such an accomplishment when you manage to do anything other than look after bubba isn't it, well done :D

    PS. best to get tax credits done today/tomorrow just in case the 31st July deadline affects your payment :undecided
    also you can't do CTF yet, it gets sent to you once you've sorted child benefit ;) unless you just mean look into where your gonna put it? in which case ignore me!

    Thanks for the info re. tax credits and CTF I will pass it on to him, I leave all that stuff up to DH - he works in the financial services industry and he understands it more than me. By the time I read all the leaflets, understood it all and filled in the forms etc - she would have turned 18 anyway! :D

    can someone help me with a bit of detective work?
    i've found this bouncer and judging by the picture of the clamp it doesnt need a "normal" doorframe, but i cant find anywhere online that can tell me :confused: if it does actually hook up like the picture says it would be ideal as we have a archway halfway through our lounge!

    Oooh I could do with one of those! Will let you know if I find out anything...

    ETA Thanks Sami, doesnt look as if it will be very good .......

    My metabolism is non exsistent I'm sure, I need to loose about 1 stone and a half to get a healthy BMI, mind you last year I was morbidly obese, so being overweight right now is fine with me!

    OH is asian, so everything is bland too him, not like his mums currys he tells me, well go make it your blummin self then! Never does tho!

    Quick Q - Do you iron things inside out? Im trying to be a domestic goddess or something.....I got an apron and an iron for my 21st last year from OH - Cheeky or what haha (I did ask for it though) anyways, Ive used the iron once, and im sick of Keira looking trampy because of my lazyness of not ironing her clothes


    Inside out or no?

    Loads to catch up on!

    Charlotte still has short fine hair on her back but it's white blonde so you can't really see it. I didn't even realise it was still there until the other week when I was rubbing cream onto her chicken pox spots!

    Bouncy chair - I think she was in hers until she was about 9 months to a year. She was late at moving around though and quite content just to sit and watch the world go by.

    Jalapenos - hubby is addicted to them and eats them like sweets. I think Charlotte has inherited his taste buds as she loves anything with chilli in. It's quite funny when the boys whinge that food is too hot and spicy, and she's lashing it back :rotfl:

    Ironing - I iron things the right way out but I turn t-shirts with prints on over and iron them from the back, to stop the print getting damaged.

    Thanks very much to everyone who complained about her competition page. All the nasty comments have been removed. It's much appreciated :)
    Here I go again on my own....
