Love all them names Wendz. My favourite out of them is Lily. I just think it is beautiful. My friend had a baby a month ago and called her Lily

Lara - hope you are okay. Maybe a few days at home is what you need.

Tete - it is brilliant to see you back here!

I love those names Wendz. Mainly Poppy, so sweet!

Birdie - I'm mixed, excited because I like my birthday but a little 'err' because I'll be 20 and feel like a proper adult. Nothing planned, OH has something planned which means I have to be out the house all day. Hmm! Be nice if he's making me a kick-bum cake

Had a strange dream last night that we adopted twins (a boy and a girl), we collected them from a locker in the hospital (:eek:) but we couldn't decide on names for them! No prizes for guessing where that dream came from!

Feeling quite pleased with myself because I've worked out that I can save us over £200 on our park tickets for Florida. :j
When we booked the holiday we also booked ‘The One Ticket’ which is a mash up of the Disney parks and the ‘Others’ i.e the Universal family and the Sea World family, it seemed a good price when we booked as there were no other special offers on but I was trying to work out if we needed it all yesterday as the tickets are costing nearly £1000 for the 2 of us (can’t remember the exact figure, but it was nine hundred and plenty!) and we want to go to the Kennedy Space Center which is another £100 (including transport as it’s a fair way away) so I had a mooch round and Disney are currently doing 14 days for the price of 7, Sea World are doing 3 parks for the price of 2 and I can get just Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure in a bundle without Wet and Wild which we weren’t planning on visiting anyway but were paying for in ‘The One Ticket’ so I’ve found tickets for all the parks we want to visit for £852, still a scary amount but way better than £1100! I can’t believe the mark up of some of the ticket selling sites either, the 14 day Disney ticket on the official site is £220 each, on travel agents sites the exact same thing is £270! And it’s not like it’s a too-good-to-be-true price or anything since it’s from the real Disney World website! It really does pay to shop around! I’m going to the travel agent after work to cancel the ticket booking with them and tell them how much I’m saving by doing it myself! Wow, that was a bit of a ramble but it's a pretty complicated business making sure that you see everything you want to see for the best possible price!:cool:

There's nothing wrong with being 20 Cinny, it's not as bad as 22, that sucks! You're not 21 any more and the next milestone to look forward to is 30! :eek: Hope you do get a great birthday treat!

26 hit me hardest, because I realise next birthday I'm 27, and that's 'late 20s' and I really ought to be more focussed and less scatty by my late 20s!

Called my auntie last night - I'm so bad at small talk! I managed about 15 mins, then NIM took over chatting to her and he was on the phone for another three quarts of an hour - impressive considering he's never even met her. At least its one 'to do' thing off the list. NIM at football tonight so I'm going to spend the evening on ebay (and maybe a nice relaxing bath thrown in for good measure)

The holiday my friend and I are planning to book is creeping up in price We can't book until this weekend as it's our paydays, but at this rate we might have to go somewhere else entirely, it's risen £90 this week.

Agreed! I am 22, its like being in limbo. How depressing to think that the next milestone is 30 :eek:

Better than 40 Flower!!!

I loved turning 30

clearmydebts

I also didn't like 22, 26 and 31!

I loved 18, 21, 25, 29 and 30

I don't mind turming 35 in 2012 because I will have my 2 babies then and my aim was to have my family finished by 35 (even if I did think we would be living in a house by then!)
