    Well done on the wins chick, shame its for your OH. I think he should give you half seeing as you were the one who played for him :D

    That sucks about the Boots order, they shouldn't let you place the order if they can't guarantee stock, naughty Boots. The Bluewater Boots had lots of stuff still half price today fyi.

    I wanted to get into cupcake making, OH bought me 5 cupcake books recently as i had a phase of wanting to make them, i was just rubbish at making the icing. I want to get back into it again i think. My best cookbook is The Hummingbird bakery cookbook, its full of wonderful cupakes. I think they have a famous cupcake shop in London. I have always said to OH if we got married i would like a cupcake wedding cake, i have seen some really cool ones online which i like the look off.

    Cupcakes are very fashionable at the moment arent they, there so cute and yummy! Much better than a boring fruit cake for a wedding.....i only say that as i cant stand fruit cake!:rolleyes:

    Well after much umming and arhhhing i have booked the valentines break at the apartment overlooking a huge lake in norfolk with the hot tub on the baloncy!! Ohhh cant wait.:D;) It cost £230 for 3 nights!:confused:Plus they charge £15 for electric. I said id pay for it all as my treat to him as he spoilt me at christmas. but im hoping he will pay for petrol and food! lol

    Now im wondering if £4k by June is too much for me after this break and my car insurance in Feb. But i will try and get as close to £4k as possible!

    Ive just emailed Boots about my order being stuffed up and how disappointed i am. Not only that but they was suppose to deliver on the 6th jan so the email said yesterday but the order came today when nobody was in. Luckly the neighbour signed for it. I will never shop online with them again!

    First day back at work urghhhh, what a drag the day was! It was so quiet! Normally we get a 15p pay rise in Feb :rotfl:i know! But i cant complain! At least its not going down...touch wood!:rolleyes:

    Aww cool YB! Have you thought about making them yourself?? They dont seem too hard to make :D

    Sweets and cakes for the evening buffet...sounds like my kinda party!


    Don't think I'll make them myself but I wont buy mega expensive ones. Re the sweets we are looking at one of the hotel packages that provide the evening buffet so may not get the sweets, not sure yet.

    No bonus here either. I sent them a "ticket", waiting for them to get back to me. Better go and have a bath, period pain is not my favourite:(

    The apartment overlooking the lake sounds brilliant hun, and the hot tub...very nice!!! That price isn't bad for 3 nights and a hub tub, shame they couldn't throw in the electricity for free.

    Hopefully after your complaint Boots will give you some vouchers. I'm waiting for the 75% off sale to start on the 13th, i got down there at 8 am last year when the store opened and snapped up some really good bargains.

    I think you'll manage 4K, your brilliant with money chick.

    Oh does it start 13th nationwide?? I might have a look but its a work day so i wont able to get down there till late when the bargins have gone. :(

    Im not going to bother with a ticket i give up with them! Im going to email them to close my account and delete my bank details etc.

    Kavics period pain is horrible! Get the hot water bottle out if you have one. im still waiting for my AF to turn up, the sooner it does the sooner we can plan whether to try again now or not.

    Feeling better now, probably paracetamol started to kick in. HWB is my best friend at the moment.

    Wait with BB, I think it will go back to normal. I played yest £39 and lost it, as I couldn't withdraw and they wouldn't give me bonus, this morning got the email that you can now withdraw £20. So we shall see, I just want my bonus back first of all. The email he sent out this morning was really childish-BB should have stopped the bonus ages ago, what can they expect?If there is a loophole people will find it out and make money on it.

    How are the cupcakes? Send me some for testing, I will give you my honest opinion and will do it for free every time you bake some:). I have a really good muffin tray which you can use for cupcakes, check it out here: https://www.pamperedchef.co.uk/ordering/prod_details.tpc?prodId=16554&catId=122&parentCatId=&xPrntItmId=2071

    Hmm.Actually it's a cupcake pan:). I wrote a review on dooyoo about it-I can really recommend it. Not cheap but worth the money.

    No bonus on BB today either, wonder what is going on.
