    i mean my sister is 24yrs old 2 kids married for 3 years and i bought them a very special and expensive present (xbox 360 as they both are avid gamers) however it had one issue when bought that the fan was noiser than some because of it being used a lot. Her hubby decided to bloody open the thing up (bearing in mind everyone knows him as bodge-a-job) and has knackered the thing already less than a week and £80 down the drain. she cant understand why im !!!!ed off and how hard i had to sell stuff on my webshop to get her it

    Shes just acting like a spoilt B@tch

    DS - seems much better again today - he seems to have new zest for life. All the doctors kept saying they were amazed at how clever he is - you couldn't distract him ,he wanted to know why about everything and by the questions and how he answered they knew he was understanding - I think it has all gone to his head!

    Another hard day though as he screamed and screamed through the 45min antibiotics iv, which also made his sister scream as she didn't like Ben being so upset. Hopefully that is the last time....it is so stressful and horrid to watch my little boy go through it all, BUT I would still rather have him screaming than see him the way he was on Saturday.

    Well I was rather cheeky - went to Tesco's to get a hair mag as I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow (want a total restyle as I seem to be stuck in the 'frump with bump' stage rather than 'yummy mummy') So I'm looking thru the mags and the ONE style I like is in a £4.99 mag :eek: so I sneakily took a pic on my camera phone :rotfl:.:rotfl:

    So I saved a fiver :D. Will probably spend said fiver on hair dye tomorrow.

    Hi Cagne - glad it went well today. Thank you for the Christmas card!! Can you believe that the envelope had been slit open on both ends...luckily I don't think anything was missing!

    Evening all.

    Over the last few days I have been meaning to say things to everyone but in the chaos I haven't - I am sorry.

    OMFG!!!! slit open at both ends??? that is disgusting. I beleive it's all automated until it gets to the sorting office ready for delivery, will check with a postman mate tomorrow. I'm shocked. I take it the dvd was in there though?

    only you Elly.... well probably Mabel too!:rotfl:

    Hhh - rant away my dear. That's one of the great things about this thread, although its about money making, everyone recognises that we need to vent, get rid of feelings etc in order to concentrate on the money making!

    Hey Nixi - give DS a big hug from me!

    Right, I'm off to beddie byes now.

    See you all in the morning!

    Cagne - yep, dvd was still there, thankfully. I was on one of the many phone calls we have had about DS today, so missed it coming. It was hysterical watching DH, examine the envelope (in disgust) open it and see a christmas card with a dvd...he was very confused !! One of the highlights of my day! So thank you :D
