  • JHB - have you tried your google settings? ...

    https://www.google.com/accounts/ManageAccount

    only reason I ask is that this week I have had awful problems with my Gmail, time stamps and things like that, OH found it was my google account rather than my Gmail. have a play around with some of the things in there and see if that helps. apologies if you have done it already?

    Can anyone help me. I am after English breakfast teabags which are individually wrapped. I am presuming Twinings wrap all of theirs? or does it state on the boxes if they are individually wrapped?

    Mary-op - sorry to hear about your collapse hope you soon feel much better. Funny, I was only thinking on way to work this afternoon that you'd been missing for a while & when I get back here you are!

    Choccy - I had a pm from CT1972 earlier in the week with some advice I'd asked her for & she said life had been a bit hectic but hoped to be back soon. Get to the dentist before weekend if you can - nothing worse than toothache.

    Flourgirl - Looking forward to trying your ginger recipe. Sorry to hear your ?nephew in law? has had to go into Papworth & hope I've read correctly that they should be able to sort with medication. It must be a constant source of worry for one so young.

    Thrifty - well done on your weight loss wish I could lose [STRIKE]some[/STRIKE]lots! Have a wonderful time in Manchester! Good shopping.

    Sorry if I've missed anyone I'm tired......

    Thankyou! Had a look on there and have emailed them, they might take pity on me and give me free postage :rotfl: (ok I can wish!) I only need 30 teabags so seems a bit high to be paying such high postage!! :eek:

    Marg - How can you be up so late all the time :eek: I am only up cause I am still trying to relax from a day with DD crying and screaming :(

    She is sound asleep, I can hear her snoring and the baby monitor is lighting up she is that loud :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Rusty - I'm a [STRIKE]bit[/STRIKE] lot of a night owl - My auntie was the same & used to say "I never go to bed on the same day I get up!" which I thought was pretty cool for a 70 year old! when I was younger. I've never been good at mornings.
    I'm sorry you are having a tough time with little Miss being poorly, hope she gets better really soon - think we could all do with a spell of fine sunny weather.
  • MOrning all - I can't hope to catch up on all the posts but Mary - thake care of yourself, Craftygranny - your girls are amazing, and JHB - congratulations on your first day.

    Rusty - I've got some spare t bags left over from the school crafting - I can probably get some in the post tomorrow (not at my house!). By the end of the weekend we'd made 200 bookmarks, 201 post it note holders, and 203 t bag holders (ready to be stuffed and tied!). I also cut all the paper and card for the rest (200) t bag holderS! I was certainly glad to see my friend take it all away!

    I shall be leaving the packaging to the rest of the PTA helpers (hopefully more than 2 will help out) I'm not even on the PTA!

    I can't remember who went to the Stampin Up party, but I'm having one here in a couple of weeks. One of the mums at school is a demonstrator so is coming round when my conservtory is finished. There's an offer on at the moment for a free set of stamps if you spend £45 though so I may put in an order before the party (offer ends this month) - I think I'll stock up on their paper that is supposed to be really good and lots of little coloured ink pads.

    Will get my swaps off this weekend - it's lovely to get back into the swing of it.

    Right, better feed some children - I've got my friend's (with the new puppies!) little girl while she goes for a check up in London. THere are about 30 of us going for an early dinner for her birthday tonight - one amazing lady!

    Have a great day everyone.

    Morning ladies. I was up super early (for me) to follow DH to the garage to take his car in for service :eek:
    Hope everyone had a good nights sleep and the little ones had a peaceful night too xx

    Rusty I think Craftygranny got some teabags from Aldi, so they might be worth a try.
