    SS, that what I mean, broken home = do whatever you want. Disgusting. (I'm not saying that people from broken homes do bad things, most don't but its the people who do bad things then use this as an excuse).

    MM, thank the fairies! List 10 items a night on ebay?

    Harley, will get to the post office tomorrow when kids back at school (I hope).

    Aless, he is lovely, and did you not know that fists are the greatest thing ever?

    I have a day of organising to get on with.

    the only time I posted on DFW and told them I know my electric was higher than most, but we have no options for ours, only NIE, so it cant be changed, and I got told I should be using candles and not watching TV to cut down a not very expensive bill
    :rotfl::rotfl:
    My electric was picked on cos of the tumble dryer, apparantly I should have had all our washing hanging on airers in the studio flat that was filled with damp anyway!! :rotfl::rotfl:

    SS, etc. - ooo can I join the eBay mission today? Only 2 things to list, but they've been sitting here since before Christmas!

    Please do :)
    Finn's lovely! Molly gets a pacifier too, we tried very hard not to give it to her but one night she just wouldn't stop and we tried it in desperation and she took to it. She tends to spit it out once asleep, but last night she was whinging quietly to herself and Husband went in to find her holding it in her hand - she saw him, cracked a massive smile and shook it at him :rotfl:
    Hope your DH gets home ok tonight - that is ridiculous in the middle of London.

    I have a very childish urge to post my SOA and make up a load of debt to give the nasties something to do... (see my purple sticky up hair rawr!)
  • you do wonder why people are like that ?? thing is, most of them over on DFW are really helpful, but there are still far too many to$$ers too :p

    To be fair, the DFW people do take things quite seriously and if people are serious about doing everything possible to cut debt then they can help.
    The OS boards go way over the top being OS too but thats why I don't go on there.
    Also the amount of people on these boards who are thifty to being almost to the point of it being a mental illness..........
    However, each to their own, live and let live and all that.

    :rotfl: adorable. I didn't want to even buy any, but his 1st few nights he just was awake all the time wanting to suck on something (our fingers, mostly). Now just try and use only when he's quite upset and needs something to calm him down - he spits it out when asleep like Molly, hehe.

    got £60 Mothercare vouchers from ILs and was going to buy bits & bobs, but now think want expensive playgym, as it's something I wouldn't normally splash out on (which is the point of vouchers, surely?). Was going to go on Sunday but car died! Not sure when can convince DH to take us down now...my dad arrives for 3 wks on Sunday!

    I like OS, but like you said you have to take little bits. I use it mostly for recipes and meal ideas as we often get stuck eating the same things over & over. Also, the winter prep thread was useful as our flat has crap windows and can be drafty.

    tia, you devil, you must be bored if you want to stir up the trolls! :p
