    Oh Sal, hope B's feeling better, plenty of liquids to flush through. (but you know that already!)

    Is the paper for your bedroom the one you showed on here the other night? That was very pretty.

    Afternoon...what a flipping morning and end to the term! DD decides at 8:20 that she doesn't feel well and it hurts when she goes to toilet, in fact she can't get off the toilet as she wants to go again...dam urine infection. Mad dash around to phone school to say she is off sick, call Dr's to get appt otherwise won't get seen until mid next week, phone boss to say I need to take time off work, phone mum to see if she'll come and look after B....blimey stressful morning.

    Anyway she is bright and dandy now typical! Washing blowing a hoolie on the line, got heating on as its freeeeezing outside and now I am sat with laptop trying to decide on how to decorate my bedroom...I'll make a decision soon, just that the wall paper I liked has 50% off atm...

    Luc sounds like they could be a good company for the interim at least!
    Pooky, bet the wheels are rather great, E will have to have some go faster stripes now ;)

    Aww poor B! Hope the rest of your day is a bit more restful.

    Show us the wallpaper :D

    Yeah although I can't decide between that or a very fine pink stripe and then to have the curtains in that print (the one I showed the other day). Tbh I think I will end up waiting until OH has come home and taken the PC away, then I can have a real tidy out and move around. Can't really do anything until thats been done...although I hate to miss a bargain ho hum

    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

    Or maybe I'll have completely different curtains...go for the original pattern wallpaper (its only a small wall) and then find some stripe cushions/bedding to co-ordinate....see Im useless at this interior decorating lark

    That could work - it is hard to visualise sometimes, have you got a colour printer, you could try printing out bits and putting them together?

    I'm soooooooooooooo bored!
