    Evie's in tonight's Leeds paper for the baby competition on page 17 ! I'm certain that last year you could vote by text and email but this year you've got to buy the paper and send off the blimming voting form:mad:

    If anyone get's the evening post and doesn't know any of the kids, send me a pm and I'll let you know her number so if you felt like voting for her you could;) (I'm such a cheeky monkey:o)

    I meant to get one when I went out so I could vote, but had a panic attack in Sainsbury's cos it was so busy. I'm going to Asda in a bit so if they've got one left I'll get it.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Awww bless her Cat - I don't get the Evening Post unfortunately, and can't get out to get one now...how silly not having text or email voting.

    I know, I mean they could have done web voting or something. apparently you can vote by text in the next round but not in this round! Guess it was abused last year and that's why they've done it differently this year!

    Also, does anyone have or know anyone who has some old gnomes they don't want? We kinda decided for our next video we shall use gnomes not people.

    What a pain cat that you can't vote by text or on the net :(

    OH has made me howl with laughter..mainly because of his stupidity and bare face lies! He has had a pile of things upstairs that he is supposed to be ebaying, when I asked him he said he didn't get any bidders. Now I looked on his account and full well knew he hadn't even listed them! So tonight I thought sod it Im going to list them for myself and use the money if he can't be bothered! Brought them down to take pictures and he said "ah trying to list them again for the 6th week" to which I chuckled. Asked him if he has used his account and that to save time I would just log onto his account and re-list. The look of panic and flustered lie of " ah I think I deleted them" so I said they will still be in your unsold items at which point he grabbed them off me and said he would do it. Rumbled sucker!
