    She's five and a half months old. The excitement I feel at possibly getting back to normal post-birth is too much for just one person :p

    need help - hopefully getting a new phone do I go for

    Samsung Jet
    Sony Ericisson Tocco
    Nokia E71 - don't mind a QWERTY style

    Glam, I bought OH the Tocco Ultra for christmas. He is very "up himself" when it comes to his mobiles. and i am quite sure he thought "what is this crap she's bought me/" when he opened it. (Does not think i am able to use internet to research things, i am a female after all!)

    But he actually loves it. Has the normal keypad to text etc. But also has the touch screen. He is always on facebook on it and It has a fab camera. I like the fact that it is slim and I want one too, but there are baby things i need to buy for Alex:(. Woe is me.

    Thanks for the pork help, i think i'll definitely go with a casserole, DS won't eat anything spicy or peppers but would eat a casserole or korma type curry :cool: Will go to Asda and get the veg in. Wonder if they'll let me use healthy start vouchers for pre-prepared veg, i.e roasties, feeling lazy :o

    Beenie, I usually put leftover pork into a sweet and sour. Massive plate of chips, bag of prawn crackers and I'm happy.

    God, I'm starving now.
