    So sad Billie.
    DD1 is driving me nuts with her 'terrible' life. About to take 2 years off to have her second child - GS is now 17 months and will still go to nursery 2-3 times a week. She says life is going to get worse before it gets better. Biting my tongue a bit - I went back 7 weeks after DD2 and I did my own cleaning.
    Life is hard for the wealthy. :rotfl:

    Just has pasta and Yorkshire pud - bit of a come down after last night!

    If she wasn't my daughter I'd almost hope you goy brought down to earth but ....
    DD2 is so different - very happy with very little.

    All makes the world what it is I guess.

    Well, I contacted a seller because the locket DD wanted had already sold. I asked if she had any more, yes, she says she has one and will send me an invoice?

    I only have £1 ish in Paypal and looking, it says it takes 5 to 7 days for the money to arrive in paypal from my bank. How is the easiest/quickest way to pay? Will I have to wait for the money to transfer? It's DD's birthday on Thursday but she would understand if her pressie was late, she's sat here choosing it ;)
