If she says 'it's crap MFD, buy me a better gift' then you can be embarrassed :rotfl::rotfl:

If she came out wih something like that she'd be going to bed with a flea in her ear!!

Well i hope it passes soon Krystal cos it makes me :mad: When i say no he goes in a right strop. I'm always trying to get him to understand that money doesn't grow on trees but he's not getting it yet. Like when he got £2 off the tooth fairy he was like YAY i can buy a Wii game. No dear, no you can't. LOL.

Kindof, Amber has days like that occasionally and i always expect her not to sleep later but she does. Tiring work all that growing

She's getting a bit better at understanding the cost... I tell her how much everything is, and when she has some money to spend I stand in the shop and tell her how much more she needs before she can buy things... I do like to take her into the poundshop and tell her she can have anything in the shop though!

Jelly Belly Beans -
I bought a tub in TK Maxx today and realised when I got home that I hadn't actually been charged for them. Only now that Krystal has linked to Jelly Bean Day have I realised they were free. I remember the sales assistant saying to the one beside her "are they free?" but I had no idea she was talking about the Jellly Beans.

So...if you are near a TK Maxx and it's still open, get down and get some Jelly Belly Beans!!! :T

And you couldn't tell me this earlier when I could have gone to town because?!:(

Lou66 says her laptop is broken so she can't get online much but is up for the meet on Wednesday. She wants to know where we are going to meet. Shall we just meet in the restaurant so whoever gets there first can get a good table?

Sorry. I thought I had scammed them! Only realised when I looked at my receipt about an hour ago. Felt ok about it because I donated them £1 to Cancer charity and paid for a carrier bag. Free Jelly Beans felt like pay back! Oh well, no crime committed by me.

I will list you the flavours later, one by one, when I devour them so you can feel like you are sharing them with me.

GISI - thanks for link. Off to have a look now.

I am stuffed and shattered so am off, need to fill dishwasher first, then off to bed with me:)

Ds2 is sooo excited for tomorrow as he gets his orthotic boots fitted at hospital in the morning, and also gets to wear his beavers uniform into school because it is St Georges day:)

Thanks Jenny i think you're right.

Argh, this is doing my head in lol. I saw a Raleigh in JJB but it doesn't appear to exist, he said the model was "Skunk" and it was £109 which i thought was cheap for a Raleigh.

But in Halfords they had an ex display one of these: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_264655_langId_-1_categoryId_165602 for £80 which technically is a saving of £100??

Or should i stick with brand new??? My budget is about £100, and we're going for 20" pref. with gears (thanks to Mr JJB who talked DS into needing gears *rolleyes*)

Someone make my decision i can't doooooooooooooo it

Sorry, i've been rambling on about this bike for yonks. I am so anal when it comes to buying big stuff though, cos i'm scared i'll make the wrong choice!!

Beenie - big dif between bmx and mountain bike try googling them. I had a bmx As a teen, fab for about town rubbish for off road or up hills etc!

Kindof - found the tcp so applied that, have docon mon so if it's not betterby then will get her too look at it then. Crap about your check up!

Well Tahlie has been wide awake for hours so hoping she'll sleep well tonight. HV coming tomorrow afternoon to weigh T otherwise nothing happening.

Maz - I think Morrisons have Pampers wipes on a better deal than Asda as MIL got me some yesterday and I just compared them to the Asda one and I think that the Morrisons one works out better. However, I have a splitting headache and I am going to go to bed once I have made bottles so I am struggling to work out the figures!! I think it's £1.28 per pack in Morrisons (9 for £7) and £1.33 in Asda (12 for £9). Let me know if I am talking b0ll0cks!

Off for a paracetamol and a Key Lime jelly bean before early bed. Watched the debate but didn't think there was much covered that wasn't said last week. Very boring and disappointing. I expected different topics. Hmmm.

Mel - boo for garage. Yay for new fridge.

Just a thought as well - try asking the garage to contribute/pay for the hire car costs, it's not your fault that the gear box hasn't arrived.

I had a random thought whilst falling asleep for mums with new babies that aren't that happy, have you thought of this?

Feel free to ignore it as I said it was a random thought I had.

Skintchick had that done on her LO IIRC.

I order J an Amber teething Anklet today - had some good reviews from ladies at sling meet (inc Boo ) so thought we'd try it as the Hazelwood was very plus OH won't be so :eek: about an anklet.

We tend to only have proper F&C when we go up north as OH says they are not as good down south plus we leave the skin on when we cook it and it makes him ill :eek:



Very interesting MDW, both boys have weird shaped heads and Henry was always a terrible sleeper when younger...

My mum loves coming up here from essex for real F&C.
