    SM i find asda the cheapest really, i dont know if you have one nearby though? also tesco is quite good, sometimes they have 20% off days . Sainsburys have 25% off days really often but they are a bit more expensive to start with, but they are really good quality from there i think,

    kindof - as someone who gets stuff from the USA sometimes, you can kindly request that the person shipping it mark the item as a "gift" on the customs declaration. This should avoid any charges. But you didn't hear this from me ;). And of course the item inside will actually be a gift, right? *coughcough*

    Unfortunatly it was from a company and I dont think they would do that :( its just annoying cos you cant get the things over here

    When I order from hanson.net they used to write gift on and total it as $0 but I dont know if they got wrong or someting cos they now put the acutal cost on as well

    Red - My friends 8 year old is called Charmaine :)

    You may all think I am sad but I went through our freezer today and wrote down everything that is in there, and there are 46 meals worth of food (23 meals though if that makes sense one for me one of OH) I did a meal plan using the food in the freezer, so hoping shopping bill wont be too expensive this month

    We also have 6kg of pasta (£3 in asda) I now need pasta ideas please lol, we usually have spag bol, or pasta bake, what else can I do with it?

    Elliot has tested my patience today, he was screaming the house down for like half an hour, nothing I did would settle him (OH was out in the shed painting) I got that stressed I just marched outside, opened the door and had to hand him to Oh to sort out, I feel really bad, but pleased that I didnt get stressed with E if that makes sense, its not his fault he was crying, but I still feel sad that I was stressed and coulndt sort him, annoingly he settled for OH and took a bottle off him even though I had just tried him with it

    Evening folks :)

    Very tired... Was a good wedding yesterday, nice hotel and Aimee enjoyed the pool... Some photos on my facebook but for those that arent (Glam) Here's a pic of Caitlyn practising her standing up...
    102_0024.jpg

    Journey home was pretty awfull... In Laws had had words before we got in the car, no idea what about but sMIL didn't even acknowledge us when we got in the car and not a word was spoken all the way home... :rolleyes: At least it was only 45mins though!! Is it me though, that finds it incredibly ignorant? It's not the first time something like that's happened... But if it was me, I would paint a smile on and be pleasant to everyone, not make everyone else feel uncomfortable?

    Anyway... Made the most of the glorious weather when we got back, mowed the lawn, gave the slides a scrub down and put Caitlyn's toddler swing up... She seems to like it!

    100_0083.jpg100_0073.jpg

    The good weather didn't make her sleep as well as the rest of the babies though... She got completely over tired and wailed for an hour... I ended up having to feed her to sleep... :(

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Stuff sMIL - how rude. I swear I will never ever be a horrible MIL.

    OH's nan gave me £25 towards petrol cos I drove 200miles to take J down there to see them all and MIL got arsy because I didn't tell her! She moaned at OH about it and he told her it had nothing to do with her! :smileyhea

    Why should I tell her? Only miffed cos she was out the loop!

    He got the laptop lead and wrapped it round his neck earlier :eek:

    Yep how did you guess??? He grabbed the bottle off OH earlier, put his mouth over it and started sucking. He then started smacking his lips and dribbling - he likes beer :rotfl:
