    oh MFD I totally though of you yesterday when on the radio they said "1 in 4 women experience domestic violence, if we then look at teenage girls its A QUARTER (their emphasis) of girls that experience it" I shouted thats the same amount! at the radio lol

    jillie - I do comping. Best thing to do is just go on the Comps Board and enter all you have time for. I go through methodically roughly 3x/day (but you can do less, will just take longer each time) and enter all the ones you fancy. Make sure you download Roboform software as it will make your life a million times easier. Some people are hardcore and also religiously enter the dailies/weeklies/monthlies, but I only do them if I have spare time.

    If you want the "best" ones to enter, ITV are the big cash prizes (though obviously hard to win as prollu hundreds of thousands ppl enter each one) and the Puzzler.com / Take a Break puzzle magazines are typically quite good for winning.

    You can PM me with questions, but the people on the Comps board are pretty nice ;)

    We're just about to decamp and hit the road again...will be at my sister's in a couple of hours! Can't wait to hit the mountains :D

    MILLIES MUM - Tesco have some lockable cash box tins at £5.50

    Thanks, knew I'd get the answer here!

    Seriously fed up with school at the moment though, it was suppoed to be sports day on Friday.

    friday 7.45 text from school 'in view of high winds sports day will be postponed until the wind dies down, we do not know when that will be'

    Friday 9.45 text from school 'sports day will go ahead at 10am'

    10.20 sports day is abandoned after one race due to lashing down rain.

    sunday text from school 'sports day will be on monday morning'

    Monday 8.45 text from school 'Sports day will not go ahead today as field is too wet and slippy'

    Monday 1.15 Text from school 'sports day will start at 1.30pm today'

    2.30 today sports day is abandoned due to weather being too hot!
    MFW Start Sep 07 £79484, Now £58774
  • Sounds like a nightmare MM.

    I was so excited when I saw the cash boxes I nearly bought one for you!! Then I realised that it is a bit of a trek to Leeds to drop it off!

    We had similar for the last two years. One year we never ended up having one at all, so this year they had it back in June:) They figured a whole month of consistant bad weather was unlikely, so they would be bound to get it done at some point:D

    Had a mum round this morning from the school, who has a little girl a week older than K...she stayed about 2hrs and brought me some bags of clothes for T, that her LO has grown out of. She is nice, doesn't talk much but hey, after last weeks bore I wasn't complaining;)

    I meant to say earlier. Am totally not enjoying bf'ing atm :( Don't feel like i wanna give up yet but it hurts! She keeps faffing about and using her teeth and so i take her off but it doesn't seem to help much cos she's doing it all the time. Can't work out if it is always the teeth or what, but it's sore!! She doesn't get fed that much as it is but i'm finding myself wanting to give her more and more formula cos it's easier than battling with her hurting me.
    Anyone else go through this phase??
    I never had it but I'm sure I've come across people in online discussions who've said that they had that kind of problem. I'm fairly sure quite a few people said it was the baby being a bit lazy about latching on properly because they had a better suck and therefore from their point of view a proper latch wasn't as important. Don't know whether that's any use but I thought I'd mention it just in case.

    Ooooh, I now have a visitor coming wednesday too, busy week.

    I am going to send dh the chippy for dinner today, I really can't be bothered cooking and ds2 is of to a beavers end of year party today so would need it one by 4.30 to give hiim time to eat it.

    Caz - I know exactly how you feel, I have no motivation either:( Tots group on Thursday, so i am going to try and get out to that....I didn't manage last week and I can't face it tom, but at least that makes me available for my lovely visitor tomorrow;):D

    Grrrr I am really annoyed with myself, I had a Verbaudet code sent and now can't find it:( I wanted to order a couple of outfits!

    The same pr1ck that told me that 'at least you can be a proper mum if you aren't working' has just left a message on my mobile saying that if I am struggling to get to an 8.30am meeting next week then maybe I should consider leaving the house earlier.

    Then he asked me to call him back - like hell I will. :mad:
