    More than likely hes calculating back payments to CSA or something instead.

    He wasn't a very nice man though, beat my mum up etc. Not sure why I even messaged, it's not like I'd want him in my life as a father figure.

    Yeah he replied but with about 4 words to everything I wrote. I can tell he just isn't bothered. Really wish I hadn't cause I just feel like poop now!

    Hi all - hope everyone is ok.

    Wrapping is almost finished, ironing is half finished and i'm just having a [STRIKE]tea[/STRIKE] wine break! :p

    I've just posted on the health an beauty board - but maybe one of you can help.

    OH is thinking about starting his christmas shopping :mad:. His mum has worn beautiful for years, but he's thinking about getting her an alternative.

    Does anyone wear it, or know the smell - and can suggest some alternatives she may like.

    weezl - i'll sort an email now, thank you :kisses3:

    BM - don't feel poop, if he's a nasty guy then you're probably much better off not having him in your life. He's the one who should feel bad for missing out on enjoying your lovely company :)

    3 - when I get bored of my pefume I ask the SA in The Perfume Shop to recommend something similar and I always like what they suggest, there is a perfume website that does similar but I can't think which it is :rolleyes:

    Ambers 4 presents all wrapped up in pink princess paper and I cried! :D

    Tree re-done. Meals planned till the 1st and tesco order updated. Kids in bed finally. DS1 thoroughly told off for peeing on his little brother (DH and I both had words and fully explained how utterly disgusting and unacceptable that is).

    How is everyone?

    Right, tea break time :)

    Can't clean the bathroom as can't find the spray cleaner stuff - OH has either hidden or used it all :( Have sorted out the "dreaded box of junk" in the kitchen that's been there for the last five months, shoved in a corner :o Turns out most of it is actual junk and should be chucked so that's out the house later tonight!

    Twiddling my thumbs now waiting for Rhys to wake up so I can get on with the hoovering.. Then it's finishing as much wrapping as poss and setting OH to work with ribbon and bows ;):p

    Hope it doesn't get me into trouble but I've emailed Caz's hubby - well, it's the email address she used to email me before but it's in hubby's name, iyswim. I have here the present she wanted for the girls and I need to post it tomorrow to get there in time (if she wants it, of course - if not, it's going on eBay!). Fingers crossed for a reply soon! :cool:

    3 - not sure if they still do them this year but last year I bought my assistant a box of miniatures from Perfume Box that had a voucher for a full size bottle of the one that she liked the most. She loved it and it saved me having to second guess her tastes.


    ...unfortunately this year I couldn't remember which one she told me she had got for the big bottle but I remembered the shape of the bottle...and bought the wrong one - doh :rolleyes:



    Edit - the perfume shop do a 'find more like this' option on their website.


    Edit again - here you go: Viva Box
