    sorry, cant help on the helium tank thing...didnt even know you could buy them!?? :cool:

    but am intrigued about the budgeted christening.....if you would care to divuleg any info on how you managed it? i posted on here the other night about thinking of doing a naming ceremony for Christopher and happen to throw Katie in too...!! lol


    well basically the only things iv needed to pay for is our outfits, the buffet n decorations.
    my OH aunty has pulled a favour with the local labour club so we've got the function room for free there, we'r doin the buffet ourselves, which is gona b a nightmare tbh!! am looking to spend £100ish on food maybe 150 cos we've got maybe 70-80 people coming, havent got a dj:o, got the kids outfits from a discounted kids shop in town but they'r gorgeous! (il post a pic on monday!)they cost £60for them both, my dress was from debenhams £30, erm n decorations just bought some metallic baloons from tesco n made some little party bags for the kids with goodies from home bargains! For the cake I think we'r gona get one of those photo cakes from asda, they'r only £8ish. Ive bought the outfits last month tho so it wouldnt feel as bad it all being spent in one go! X

    At least your Sky + works like it should Chopsticks. We only have one feed so if we want to record something, we have to keep it on that channel and either turn the TV's built in freeview on, or put on the PS3 and watch something! I'm not paying £160 for them to add another line in either!

    Speaking of Sky +, my box keeps going all dodgy and not giving me a picture and tellin me to turn it off at the wall for a minute about 5 times a day....THEY ARE DOING THIS BECAUSE I DIDNT WANT THEIR CRUDDY INSURANCE!

    It's on at 10pm on CH4+1.

    DH is going to be :rolleyes: at me when he gets home. I wanted to SkyPlus Octomum and watch The World's Strictest Parents (both at 9pm). He has gone out and wanted to SkyPlus Crimewatch (:rolleyes:) and Collision (also both on at 9pm).

    We thought we could SkyPlus two and watch one. So, I am SkyPlussing Octomum at 10pm, was going to watch Strictest Parents and SkyPlus the other two for DH.

    I realised 20mins ago that I'd forgotten to switch on for Strictest Parents, so switched it on to find Crimewatch and Strictest Parents being recorded by not Collision. I immediately cancelled Strictest Parents and Collision started recording, then went to watch Strictest Parents but it told me that if I watched it, it would cancel one of the recordings. So I'm now sat here with the TV off completely and DH will come back to a complete Crimewatch but missing the first 20mins of Collision. Ooops :o

    LOL - I always b00ger ours up so the other night I ended up watching some fishing programme so I didn't cancel the recording somehow!!

    Nope not a peep from her so far Em. She's a psycho biatch from heeeeell. I have the housing officer man coming tomorrow, he's actually quite dishy, I wonder if I wear a push up bra and be all distressed, he will bump me up the list for a move....

    Pics of mr kitty number 2 em! How has evil cat taken 2 him?
    yes yes push up bra and distress! if this woman is a PITA and made the last people that lived there move, cant they kick her out instead?

    #1 seems to be scared! #2 had a pop at #1 and #1 has been sulking since, good, might teach the vile blood hungry mauler a lesson!! i found a website that said when he mauls me i should pick him up by the scruff of his neck and squash him on the floor, not hard but enough to !!!! him off, so that he will get that its naughty? i've done it twice and his pride looked very dented, time will tell.... off to get camera, did take some!

    Hahaha, It sounds mean but I always pick the kitten up by the scruff when he's doing something he shouldn't, he doesn't learn though and I've held him on the floor a few times (I sound soooo cruel!) and all he does is lick me afterwards or start climbing the walls to show me who's boss.

    Yey piccies

    What's he done Sami?
    just sat on his lappy ignoring the fact that I was clearly fed up of trying to keep hold of Edgar then just wafts Chris's sticky cup at him saying "ooh do you want some juice"
    grrr that's not helping!
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.
