lol that is true, i'm out at 3pm anyway for school

Amber is looking rather orange... Or, well... amber

I dressed her in a lovely white outfit and then gave her a pizza slice from the bakery.... why? Why would anyone do such a thing? :eek: Doh! (and we won't go into my healthy eating choices haha)

Are you sure you haven't fake tanned her again?

How are you getting your food stains out these days? What product are you using or are you hanging out in the sun?

lol i tried to fake tan myself the other day, didn't quite work out :eek:

I thought the sun trick wasn't working but after i lazily left some stuff out for a few days they did disappear so we're back to white :T

I do have about 2kg of Vanish powder though, not MSE

Oh dear... I appear to have just bought this and this for Benjamin!!!

Excellent prices though - I think I got them both for the price of the slide so effectively the play house came free :T:T

Really annoyed. I was watching a swimsuit on eBay last night and managed to miss it...so I resigned myself to buying it from a shop at full price - except I cannot find it ANYWHERE in my size (all sold out). Poooooo, hate big boobies . Had to buy another, far less cute one instead as we leave in a week and a half and I don't want to be stuck without a swimsuit!

I sometimes set an alarm to remind me to bid. I have still been known to miss the end though with trying to wait till the last minute if it's something with potential for competition. If it's something that hasn't had any bids, I usually find the seller is willing to relist if you message them.

We just got the two Wedgewood Peter Rabbit mugs I bought on eBay today because Alice's got broken. One of them is still in the original box so OH got really excited (especially when I said I imagine it's around 30 years old) and says he thinks we shouldn't let Alice use it as it could be really valuable. He doesn't seem to appreciate that a) we got it for the purpose of using and b) it only cost £3.50 and I could easily get another one at that price considering it took less than a week and very little time/effort to get two.

The boys are really starting to do my head in and the holidays only just started! Both of them are treating me like a slave! 'Mum!!!! Im hungry, get my food now!!!!!! NO!!!!! I don't want that you a BAD MUM!!!!' style....

Need to tidy up a bit, do a tesco shop and get them out for a wee while. But then again, they are refusing to get dressed.....

Susan - I usually set an alarm as well, but for some reason I had in my brain that it ended at 9pm, when really it ended at 7:30. Also, it had lots of bids so no chance there. Oh well!

In saying that, I just logged on to eBay and just about missed something else! Oops! I really need to have a better memory.

Beenie, Finn turns orange when I give him butternut squash...:rotfl:

So many of Holly's clothes have stains on them now. I need to hang them out one sunny day and see if it works.

Wow! Those do look like a good price. I am very tempted myself even though she's not big enough yet!

I purchased this yesterday though so perhaps I need to save my money for lunches out to show it off!

I am not sure what to do. Holly is still in 6-9m clothes, and I keep thinking she is getting much bigger and will have outgrown them soon, so I have been buying stuff in 9-12m so I have a stock for when she needs it. The problem is, every time I get her weighed, she is less than I expect, and is still well within the limits of 6-9 clothes. I now fear that by the time she grows into the 9-12, summer will have past and it will all go to waste! But I am hoping to go on hols in Sept so we will need summer clothes (so don't want to return them as the shops will get rid of summer stuff soon), but it's not definite as OH's job may be under thread, so we may never use them!

And in the meantime, we are rotating the same 4 or 5 outfits as I don't want to buy any more summery stuff in 6-9, and most of the stuff she has is long sleeved as she's been wearing it since about March!

Ignore me, I am just confused and voicing my dilema!
