    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

    I'm going to have to disappear for the evening.

    It seems several (20+!) things have infected my PC so my lovely big bro has downloaded some protection software for me and it's currently running.

    So I'll see you all tomorrow, with a healthier laptop.

    Night Night.

    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 :D
    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! ;)

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

    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!!

    My first week back at work is complete! It went fine, and in some ways felt like I hadn't been away. C had her first full day at nursery today and wasn't too bad. She cried when I dropped her off and only ate two spoons of breakfast but settled down OK. She slept in a cot and played with toys there today which is the first time that she's done that out of the three settling in sessions and her afternoon yesterday.

    I'm only paying a quick visit to say hello, as we're supposed to be packing for our weekend away, but I'll try and pop on tomorrow to catch up properly before we go.

    I hope everyone is OK :)
