    I only found out about the dirty callers when I watched a documentary on indian call centres, I felt so disgusted that the indian workers got the impression the uk is full of rude/racist/perverted people because the number of polite callers was so few!

    SS I love your way :D

    You probably remember me saying that my sis is pg. Well I'm trying to pull together all the freebies I can for her. I've already passed/passing on what I can (money is very tight with them at the moment), but wanted to start a stash for her. There used to be a list of freebies somewhere and sites to sign up for but I can't find it now - can anyone help?

    I'm sure there is a thread on the freebies section that list all the clubs and free stuff....

    Glad MOTM's evening went well, wonder what today will bring!!

    firstly go into settings/general/passcode lock and put lock on it ;)

    has he mooved the buttons? if so if you hold your finger on one of the icons on the screen for about 5 secs they will start to jiggle, once they've done their little jiggle you can drag them to move them back
    or you can re-arrange them on itunes if you plug it into the pc then click on your ipod under the 'devices' section on the left hand side of the screen
    hope that helps??

    edit - to lock it when ur not using it press the button on the top edge of your ipod if the sound is on you'll here a click and the screen goes black :)

    Chris was just as fast lol, He has even managed to do screen grabs and I can't work out how :rotfl:
    If you want to get some games for him though, Chris loves sheep laucher, action bowling, goaaal!, curious george colouring and gunu (jigsaws & colouring) all but the last 2 are free if you get the 'lite' version CG colouring and gunu are 59p I think, He'll happily play on gunu for a full hour though!!

    Oh and Happy Anniversary to Got-it-spent-it. It is also my 2nd wedding anniversary. DH has excelled himself and booked a wonderful weekend away for us. I'm only planning on leaving the hotel room to get to the spa;)

    Happy Anniversary! Hope you thoroughly enjoy your break- a hotel with a spa sounds like heaven at the moment, although I guess that would mean I'd have to shave my legs! Are you going this weekend?

    MM-how's Dylan this morning?

    Eggnog is a sweetened dairy-based beverage made with milk, cream, sugar, beaten eggs (which gives it a frothy texture), and flavoured with ground cinnamon and nutmeg; alcoholic versions also exist with the addition of various liquors, such as brandy, rum, whiskey and/or advocaat.
    Eggnog is a popular drink throughout the United States, Canada and Luxembourg and is usually associated with winter celebrations such as Christmas and New Year. Commercially, non-alcoholic eggnog is available around Christmas time and during the winter.
