Yes I do. I also collect bookmarks, stamp books, sugar wrappers (as in the little sachets from restaurants - not big packets from the supermarket), match books/boxes, fans (as in the kind you flap about), postcards and Bobbsey Twins books. I used to collect some other things too but I try to restrain myself.

Do you have particular sites that you look for coins on Susan as I am looking for a coin at the moment... you cant have my freebie stamps as they go in the boys treasue boxes.

I've been burgled! They broke in during the night, and amongst other things have taken mine and OH's cameras and my mobile phone, so all the pictures I have ever taken of Edward have gone. The rest of it is all petty annoying stuff, like my blackberry with all my contacts, and appointments on it, and OH's laptop with his work stuff, together with all our cards and cash, which will make paying for DS's birthday party tomorrow challenging.

:mad::mad::mad:

Nicki thats horrible - I am always saying to OH that we must back up photos, we lost an SD card and that had loads on it - its still missing

being frugal i do my best i buy a lot of whoospies (of course only if i use them otherwise its wasted money) i stock up on stuff i use and most the stuff i buy is value .. im getting really good at only going in to the shop getting what i need or want and go i need to readd up everything ..

Thats what we do SM - mostly out of Sainsburys but not so good now the nearest one is 20 mins car ride away...still got a load of S&K to make into pies and some leeks from the garden to go with chicken in some HM pies.... pulled some potatoes from garden today as well!!

I used to dream of living close enough to be able to go to the library that often. My mum used to let me use her tickets as well as my own so that we didn't need to go so often and then when I was older I used to get nine books out every week (you were allowed ten but I had the same book out permanently for about six years). Our librarians weren't very friendly or interested in children though - my mum is very impressed by all the stuff I've told her about the librarians in our village library.

we lived no more than 5 mins from the libraary
the 'children's library' was open on a tues and thurs 2-6pm and on sat 10-12.30 and 2-5. i would go most weeks, all 3 days. we were only allowed take out 3 books at a time.
i got my love of readign from both mum and dad. my mum actually only told me at xmas that i was able to read before i went to school. i started school th day after i turned 4.
we couldnt afford to buy books so the library was my haven. i wanted to be a librarian but when i left school you had to have a degree in english to get on the uni course to even be a librarian. and i didnt study enough so missed out. (uni courses/places are allocated totally different in Rep Ire than here).


i used to also go to the bookshop and read the books there....especially on the way home from school.

one day my mum sent me for some margarine. 30 mins went i hadnt come back (agin we lived 5mins from supermarket) so she walked out both ways i could go to the supermarket and no sign of me. an hour later..... i turned up, i'd been in the bookshop reading :D
i wasnt sent to the shops again for a while. was about 8 then.

Someone has a starting bid of £300,000 :eek:for one of those 20ps - you should have held out for more:rotfl:

Its the people that bid on coins that have date on one side that make me laugh - 99p for a 20p coin!!

no he's just a tall chap with a fast metabolism

DH in his 2 sandwiches has a mixture of: sun-dried tomato hummus or HM pate or grated cheese with chutney, and cos his mum used to do it for him at school and he likes it, jam or marmalade sometimes:o

He takes HM shortbread or coffee cake too at the mo.

breakfast is porridge and toast

dinner last night was cheese omelette with HM potato wedges and peas and then jam sponge with custard.

He won't usually have 5 fruit and veg a day unless we are doing a challenge cos it fills him up and then he goes too skinny

that sounds like hardly anything like that, is it 4000cals? I don't think Matt ever gets full lol

It's the portion sizes sami! He had a seperate dinner plate last night for his wedges

he has double the amount of rice or pasta that it says on the packet and 100g dry weight oats as his breakfast porridge with golden syrup

From experimentation, he gains weight at 4500 cals, loses it at 3500 or below and maintains 11.5 stone on 4000.

I am now just going to sound far too geeky to know that so I shall go and hide

ps my main concern for Fergie and kester is that they will not have his metabolism but will copy his eating :rotfl:

I've never bought coins online - just the odd new issue by mail order.

My mum taught me and my first brother to read and I actually had no idea that anybody did start school unable to read until my youngest brothers did when I was ten. I guess my powers of observation weren't as good as my reading skills.

I'm just too lazy to bother weighing everything in order to work all these things out.

She and the boys seem to be doing really well. She BF them for 6 months and William has lots of teeth (Lewis not so many!). I keep up with her on FB

Incidentally, when I went out for dinner with Krystal and 3 we had a chat about her and I have since discovered that we 3 are the only ones from here that are MSE friends with her - spooky coincidence

Like Moscow Mule? Smirnoff used to do a Mule bottle that I loved in my youth!! Until one day there was something clinking inside my bottle and it was a big chunk of glass _pale_


Really do have to run now. xx

Yay for DH! :T xx

Yes, I was dumped on FB! :eek::rotfl:. It was a while ago when my friend count was very small and I noticed I was minus one . HOWEVER, I don't think you are her friend anymore either! .

Moscow Mule was my absolute favourite and one of the first Alcopops I think! Also reminds me of Hooch lemonade (which incidentally I used to have as a mixer with JD! :eek::D).

Home! Not caught up, but I can confirm that AF and GISI aren't builders called Dave either And they are both lovely too. AF you missed out on ice-cream!

We were discussing meeting up in Winchester next time, then it is a bit closer to Em... was there someone else in Southampton too?
