    Yeah, I think I've seen them in Poundland but wasn't 100% sure, plus not everyone has a Poundland in their town so thought I'd mention The Works :)

    Just need to get us both toothbruses now (im sure ive got new ones kicking about somewhere, will need to have a wee hunt!)
    Changing from Baileys to Tia Maria as had a wee check in the drinks cupboard this morning and i cant get the mint baileys opened (plus its a little out of date) and im not paying £12 for a new bottle, so i have tia maria, so will make a wee black russian or something similar (must add, this will only get poured when son is asleep, and it is only one drink!! dont like the idea of drinking when juts just me and son in house, and luckily i stay a few doors away from parents and other family if anything was ever to happen i.e. illness, accident etc)
