    My toaster is set at 6, I hate when Idris makes toast as he is lazy and idle and turns it down to 2 so he can go sit back down in the living room until it's ready, but then he forgets and I find stale half cooked toast in it.

    Oh, he fixed the TV. LG quoted £170 to repair it, he done it for £19 and that was for capacitors from Maplin. Some capacitors had burst and were leaking, and so it wasn't being able to store up the 5v charge it needed to turn on, hence why it kept cutting out when trying to get it on. Very pleased with that though. But my real dad said he was going to buy me a 42" plasma for Xmas - I told him that's too big as my stand can only take 37" at the most I think, anyhoo I told him and now he's asking me what I want, I can have £500 he says :eek: !!!!!!......Iphone? :p

    Keira's cough is still bad, it's like a dog barking it's that gruff, so went to the chemist at my mums, and told them, and I'd like to get it off the minor ailment scheme please :p Big bottle of whatever the stuff, smells like aniseed or something, Keira hasn't been asking for THAT medicine, if it's calpol she nips your head 10 times an hour for some as it's so "malicious"

    I can do Fareham, i can get the 1A to the town centre.
    So if someone can meet me there as i always get lost in Fareham.

    DH will probably come along to, but dont worry he doesn't steal babies ;):rotfl::rotfl:

    Although once he said this to me "Now we have a baby i feel i can look at other peoples babies without looking like a weirdo" :eek:
    He has a habit of saying things that sound worse than he means :rotfl:


    I have ordered an electronic mouse killer thingy :) We went to the council to ask about enviromental health coming out and they said that often they charge more than the shop bought poison, but he recommomended the electronic thing as he has one.
    Isn't the landlord sorting it? They should pay for environmental health!

    Fareham suits me. Em- where shall we go in Fareham?


    Sady it wasn't a BP linked site, Ladybird, although I like your thinking! I'm finding the threads are getting locked on there quicker now so it's harder to go back and thank them too!


    DT1- Not sure if you are a swagbucker or a bingoporter, but if you are and have vouchers to use then Amazon can be quite good value for GHDs. I got my pink ones from there for a great price (although I can't see them on there now).
    There is a soft play place here which is good called Moby's, its near Asda on Newgate Lane, but it isnt ideal for public transport :undecided
    I would offer a lift but I have no idea how to fit the first size car seat back in my car!

    EA, is there one you know of that the buses go near?

    Im totally stuck as to what to get Keira for her "big" gift at Xmas. I will get her new board games/paints/puzzles/books/cards/bits and bobs for the main part but I do like to give her one big thing but I'm stumped. She has:

    Big massive wooden dolls house
    Big wooden farm set
    Wooden train sets
    Big wooden Kitchen
    Bike
    Scooter
    Silvercross dolls pram....
    Oh yes and the big wooden art easel
    She has a desk and chairs

    Er my child has everything "big" ......WHAT DO I BUY HER!! She's asking for a Motorbike :rotfl:

    We don't have a toaster. Not "allowed" one as it creates crumbs.

    Flipping OCD weirdo.

    Have to use the grill and remember i've put it under

    Buttons,

    What about some kind of hand held games console v-tech or Leapfrog ?

    Sorry have no idea of budget and you seem to have all other toy options covered.
  • Bl00dy hell it is freezing in this house!!


    Has anybody bought some cute hat and gloves sets this year? I bought Benjamin a lovely orange coat from gap and I am looking for a nice set of brown (I think) hat scarf and gloves.


    Buttons - how about a bean bag? I LOVED it when my parents bought me one for christmas!!

    ...although that was the year that they woke me up getting all the christmas presents out of the loft :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
