    MrsM - I agree you deserve a 'good' baby after that pg!

    Wut?! Do you eat egg cup sized portions? :eek::eek:

    How big are these packs, do you bulk the mince out with lentils and all that OS stuff?

    I pack mine out with quarn mince, but don't tell DH, he doesn't know and has never noticed :D
    Sorry to ask such a personal question, but do you have worries about your kids developing alcoholism? It is something I fear.

    My mum and dad were (are?) alcoholics as were both my grand fathers! (one has been in a mental hospital for the past 3 years due to dementia caused by alcohol). Two uncles on my mothers side are also alcoholics.

    And I don't drink.

    I went through the website contact form and just said I'd joined in Oct but yet to have anything. I also brown nosed a bit a wished the team a late happy new year and signed off with 'kind regards'

    She was really nice on the phone but it caught me off guard and OH slagged me for being a 'schemey' and trying to get something for free lol

    Check them on facebook, they offer things on there all the time.

    For a free makeover (and maybe some other freebies)? I could definitely get there that early!
    I'd struggle to make it for £1,000,000 :o It like a disease I swear :p

    In the December email it said they had Loolas to send out but no such luck:rolleyes: Although I'd probably need to fend Tia off with a stick if she knew I had a loola 'surplus to requirements'

    Mine has still not arrived and I think I can kiss goodbye to it or the money. :mad: Mothercare have loolas at £175 now though (instore), I have asked for my money back so I can just go buy a new one, but I doubt it will happen. My own stupid fault though.

    Nope, farmfoods have it for a quid. You only use a little anyway (and then hide the pack in the freezer well away from the ice cream)
