Ouch poor you! Have a lovely time, although the weather has been very hit and miss the last few days, and its getting colder every day, make sure you bring warm jammies!

Ok will do.We do usually get ok weather as it's in the SW on the gulf stream but I always pack for every eventuality:D:D

Morning all,

Have to admit I've just skidded in to brag SD1 got her A Level results, got a B and 2 C's and still got into the Uni she chose!! :j:j:j Just now has to choose whether she's going to defer or not - lots of changes at home in the last couple of months so she's not sure she wants to move away from home.

Good luck to other A Levellers :T

Hope everyone is ok - I'm stupidly busy at work (I might even change my username to that :mad:) - hugs in abundance xx

I'm back from the dentist - am very happy:j:j:j firstly it didn't hurt and secondly he never charged me:T:D apparently it was an ancient root filling that has broken so just needed a quick tidy up - took seconds. All that worry for nothing!:o

Lowesy - well done to your DD:T

Candy Girl - happy holidays!

Redruby - hope your friend's op goes well x

Candygirl - have a great holiday. I want a holiday, but the closest I've got now is a weekend in Leeds in November!

Taplady - glad the dentist went well.

Lowesy - congrats and well done to your SD!

Lucylollipop - sounds like a good deal to me!

Mioliere - hope your cat turns up safe and well and seeking his dinner.

Sunshine - hello and welcome, hope you like it here.

Well I just popped in to brag about my deal yesterday. Doubled a Clubcard voucher as I wanted a hand blender, and ordered that and a roasting tin that was half price in the sale as it seemed a good one, vitreous enamel with a rack. After using my doubled to £10 voucher, the lot cost me... wait for it... 18p. :j

Would any of you think me mad for buying bits and bobs of 'house things' now if I see them on a good deal or really like them, or will use them anyway, so that when I eventually get my own place I don't have to go and buy 1000000000 things at once?

Well, as its the day for bragging....

I fixed my tumble dryer!! I looked it up on the net as I couldn't find the reset switch, and took the back cover off (after changing the fuse again to make doubly sure), cleaned out the condenser unit at the bottom, which I hadn't touched since Christmas:o (it says once a month on it!), and got OH's power tools out. Took the cover off and couldn't find the thermostat, so had a nother wee look on the net, found a video tutorial here, although it wasn't the same make or model, managed somehow to find them, wrote down the part numbers in case the reset never worked. Reset it, and lo and behold, one working TD!!! I am so pleased with myself, especially as it would have been £80 to get someone to do it, as I had forgotten to put it on my Homecare plan with BritishGas!!

Well done to SD, Lowesy, I would recommend a year out, I did mine mid Uni and it was hard to get back into the swing of things afterwards!

Great shopping CupofChai, I think little and often is the best approach to any kind of stocking up.

Yay for Jackie! Who needs to phone up men with spanners to come round?! :j

:rotfl: I think my big head might get wedged in the door when I'm trying to go pick up the boys from school! I'll need to phone and tell them to walk home :rotfl:

Well done to your daughter. I remember getting mine in 1995 before going to chester uni and now I feel old!

Went to the park today while the sun was out although its very grey here now so we picked the best time to go. so tired as my insomnia is really bad at the minute - my eyes hurt and im a narky lady today!

Finances not looking good, overspent during the holidays and although got good deals on school shoes and coats yesterday weve had to use the credit card:(

hope anyone who is waiting for A level results gets good news xx
