    Does anyone have any advice or opinions on carpet cleaners? Hire place is all out of them for the next few days - must be spring clean time or something! Anyway, given how icky the carpets seem to get I was considering buying one, so any thoughts would be gratefully received, thanks xx

    I had a vax one and wasn't impressed. However i do have a steam mop and that is pretty good. I need to do mine too actually they are pretty grubby!

    Morning everyone! I'm back at work today on a 12hour shift so I wo't be doing much at home....OS or otherwise!!! Luckily being back at work will hopefully mean I can get a few more NSDs in! My budget tells me I have £176 left till payday if I am going to hit my savings target so I'd best be good! Most of my food today is stuff I'm using up from the freezer and/or is homemade so atleast thats something!

    Hi floss2. I found them in Waitrose for the first time a month ago: 500g @ £3.99, but then found some on Saturday evening in Sainsbury's 500g @ £2.24, much cheaper but looks exactly the same. Was really excited lol.

    :j:j

    Bitsy hope the bear turns up soon, why don't you cantact the local press someone did that round here and not only did they get the original one back they got a "spare" as well.

    Pipkin hope you feel better soon, don't worry about taking your germs to the hospital you probably got them there in the first place;)

    Terrible weekend for me so I am really behind on everything, still don't feel 100%. Tea will be Lamb Tagine I made in the slow cooker a while ago and froze so I don't feel like such a failure :o

    Just a quicky to say that we've finally told the family of our wedding plans, so I can tell you lot too!

    We're getting married on Friday 3rd September, making us the 3rd OS wedding this year along with NPM but I can't remember the other one :j:j:j

    Hopefully I won't bore you all too much (that's what the Weddings board is for ;)) but I may have to spill the beans every now & then when I get too excited! :rotfl:

    Sunnygirl hows the hair?

    Bitsy hope you find DS' bear, we had a similar trauma when DD2 was little , luckily someone had handed it in in M+S. incidentally I still have my 'teddy one eye' ( it has no eyes now ;)) from when I was about 2

    busy day at work this morning but now home and about to launch into some decluttering , most of it is DH's so I have to do it without him knowing ;)

    have a good day all x
