    Have once again actually been working this morning :eek:

    Mel, glad that you managed to get the colief on prescription, I hope your friend tries a different doctor to get hers as it is scarily expensive, but it does really help.

    MFD love the video, in work so no sound, so don't know what she was dancing too. But she has some serious Shakira moves.:D

    Lovely photos of Kai and Izzy (welcome armybike)

    Shopping bill fluctuates each week. Has improved greatly when Lidl opened 1 min from home. If and when I go to Asda / Sainsburys I always spend scary amounts, as I am easily swayed by offers etc.

    But no matter how little or much I spend I always have to top up numerous times in the week, with bread and milk.

    If anyone wanted to see the Thomas Wellies here they are ;):D

    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Awww, happy smiling Benjamin, bet he loves the wellies.
  • MFD that is a lovely piccie. We got pirate wellies last weekend. I think they were in stead and simpson. They were in the sale though, so probably the end of a line, but if anyone is into pirates it might be worth looking in. I got myself some boots from another cheap shoe shop. They have high heels, which is a bit naughty, but I'm saving them to be work shoes only, as I don't walk very far at work. I will need to buy a pair of flats as well, but these will do for the time being while I find some I like. (They were only £22 and I was willing to spend up to about £80, so I figure I am allowed another pair as and when I find the pair I want!)

    Job interview went well apparently but he's not sure if he's what they're looking for... It's a team of middle aged women and he got the impression that he was a bit too young and male... But we'll see if he gets a call back for a 2nd interview... :)

    Sounds like he might be exactly what they are looking for ;):rotfl:

    I have visions of Harry Enfield and "Young maaaaaaaaaaaaaan!" in my head
