    I used one Sami linked too a while ago, most things I've sent have been around £11.00. But i've never sent anything heavy, just big iykwim. I'll go and have a search.


    Cloudy but warm here today too. Hopefully the clouds will go soon.

    OH is out for most of the day doing a 21km sponsored walk through Delamere with his training team.

    He decided last night after tea to mention it was fancy dress and he didn't know what to go as!
    I spent the evening converting an old leopard print fleece blanket into a tarzan outfit!

    :eek: Don't fancy 21km in this heat! (its hot here today :D).

    Had a look at SS's one. About £14 each way without code (if it worked).

    The linear weighs 6.6kg and the classic a hefty 10.8kg, according to the SX website

    glad it went ok 3 and you left before before the burberry began to fight :) ...

    I drove past the pub on my way home, and the funeral was advertised on one of those bright colour chalk boards outside. **** funeral, 1pm at cemetary, then back here 'til late!
    Does anyone else find that wrong?



    CSH I just checked the first one that came up on google, using the size/weight from SX website, and it came up as £22.99 next day, or £5.95 not guaranteed (says usually 48 hrs).

    Still looking for the one i've used before from Sami's link.

    3 I used interparcel for a delivery to Germany from my parents' place and they didn't pick up the box, then when I chased them up it took three days to get them to collect it and another three for it to get here (48 hour service :mad:). But they're cheap, and they might also be on Quidco?

    A lot of guests at the funeral looked like they were going to a party/clubbing!

    All of these little things remind me why he's my ex! :rotfl:

    Squuuueeeee just had a knock at the door and it was a courier with a random non expected parcel for me! And speak of the devil BB have sent me some lovely organic shoes for Tahlie from these people http://www.naturespurest.co.uk/. There not featured on the site but there like lil ballet shoes with ribbon on aswell :D

    Any one got any tips or advice for expressing? Tried the avent manual pump again yesterday, last time I used it I got more of the milk down me than in the bottle, this time nothing was happening! Anyhoo I managed to hand express 1oz and only took about 4 min but made me a lil sore. Today tried again and was only getting a dribble so have give up for the mo and will try later.
    Baby :female: Tahlie Lois born 15/3/10 7lb 12 oz :heartpuls
    Working on baby no2 :D
