    Afternoon everyone.

    Back from our little seaside holiday (we did the daily mail holiday thing to Haven at Primrose Valley)! Evie had her bath in the kitchen sink (and loved it) but the caravan was freezing each night... even when we figured out how to get the bedroom heating turned on, it was so cold that I had to bring Evie into our bed as her hands and face were so cold:eek:

    I've obviously missed loads - didn't know you were affected by pnd Luc but I'm glad you're coming through it. You're right to put yourself first with regard to the woman in your group. All the airline safety blurb says that you should put your own breathing apparatus on first BEFORE going to assist anyone else and it's a lesson we all could learn from at times!

    Beanie how long until you will have some more money? If its the end of the month I would be a little weary using the emergency £50 so soon in the month. What would you do if there was an emergency and you had used that £50?

    OO Cat, not nice it being so cold for you all, but sure it was nice to be able to snuggle up to Evie. When are you going to put some new pics up, haven't seen any since we saw you in Leeds and I am sure she has changed loads since then!

  • I don't like Next jeans, I bought 2 pairs from there, and the flys kept coming undone. Not a good look :eek: I also hate buying jeans, my current pair (from Pineapple) expose my bum when I bend down, so I have to wear long tops with them :rotfl:Would love to find a pair that fit properly.

    I think Primrose Valley's the only place worth visiting round there! Glad you had a good time.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Oh poor you Chick-Chick not good :eek: I had a pair from John Rocha a while back from Debenhams that had a much higher waistband - they were great for avoiding builders bum (but were £40 so expensive), I also like Oasis for jeans as they do one or two key styles a year rather than millions to choose from (a bit short though - I have to buy long there!)
