    Had to buy new mobile as tipped water on my old one!

    If they are available for your model buy a plastic screenguard. It will cost a few pounds but if it stops your mobile from drowning, it will be worth its weight in gold.

    Xmas Saver!
    Hi Red i am having to accept that i have to spend in certain area's like school dinners days out etc but not going overboard!
    You ok|?x

    It may sound daft but in the longrun, be more money saving for ds to have school dinners, yes its a bit more of a budget compared with lunchbox, but as that doesn't get eat, - babbling as always - mean that he's less likely to snack on everything but the kitchen sink at home as he's eat well as school. xx
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    You are doing very well at the swimming - are you enjoying it too? How much does a swim cost nowadays? The last time I went, I was spending so much money I didn't care!

    Are you going to the caravan? I am thinking you are a teacher or am I making that up?

    I work in Education (although not a teacher) and the holliers start at end of June. Although I work all summer, the pressure is off and I get 2 months to catch up and prepare for next bl00dy year!

    If I could pass for under 16 I would happily pay - LMAO

    We are going to a bbq tonight and I need to go to Ikea first and buy a box!

    The box is for the son of the of people having bbq. This is for his birth present - he is now 15 months old. I bought a copy of The Times, No 1 single, album and DVD for the date of his birth and want a box so his mum can keep all his 'baby bits' in and NEED to get it to him - I have no shame!

    That swimming pool sounds amazing, and the nicest thing about it is that you get to drink wine afterwards cos you're grown up! :D

    Keep on having fun! :D

  • Hypno, you could try the PE Legarra pizza - the one with a hole in the middle that they fill with salad - said to be 500 cals - and they do low cal wine too....

    Not that I'm tempting you. Much.
