Cinny - my best friend had that furniture at uni and lastedquite well so would be good for a spare room.
Ooh, thanks for the little reviewI hope OH likes it so I can get something ticked off my list. Was looking at around £100 for things from Ikea, yikes!
And that's fab news you and your OH get to have your first Christmas as a family together!0 -
That is lovely that you'll have a family christmas Wendz
I love the fact that you had to add 'obviously not if it was real' after saying Dinah's dream was funny, just in case people take offence at the thought of real-life brother-eating babies being funny!
I feel so sorry for you Cinny, poor baby of the family! Luckily for those wanting 3 kids it seems like family tickets are quite often for 5 nowadays, but you're still scuppered if you have more!Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!Goal Weight 140lb Starting Weight: 160lb Current Weight 145lb0 -
Haha didn't want Dinah to think i would find it funny if it really happened.
I am getting all excited about Christmas already even though i doubt Poppy will be bothered!0 -

I am finished after having this one so whatever it is, it is!
Lol, it's true! Though it is pretty disturbing:rotfl:
My OH is one of four and his parents used to take it in turns to take them on holiday, and sometimes take them two at a time! I'd have mega issues about that! As it is I just have normal 'baby of the family' issues so I'm with you, Cinny. Though I never had to queue on my own!

OH is one of five (and thats just his mums kids) so don't think he got to go on many holidays/days out bless him but he seems happy enough. Not sure how he feels about 3 kids but don't think he is opposed so must have liked having a big family.0

Aw that's good news wendz.
Like the clothes dinah, especially the palazzo pants. Jealous how good they look as they look stupid on me but I love them!
Got my tax refund today, £250 more than I was expecting. So my graduation shoes are going to be more Kurt Geiger than Primark, hooray! Not as good as your windfall Cinny but I'm happy

That's a great amount Archer
Have fun shopping!
Just reserved the bedroom set. My Brother said he'd clean out my cousin's van and I can use that to go fetch them tomorrow. Had a nice relaxing evening though after I found out OH did well at his new job! Watched Smackdown and painted my nails. Going to watch Sirens with OH now before heading to bed. Hope everyone had a nice evening0 -
Wow there's been a lot of chatter on here for a Monday/weekend!!
Just a quickie to say...
Cinny- good decision on taking the money!
Zig- my thoughta are with you so much. People have put a lot of good advice on here and allno can add is that My boyf and I broke up once because he got cold feet (I think that's what it was about) about it being the end of uni and not knowing how his life was going to change etc... (think he was worried about being young.. Wanted to see more people while he was at uni etc) never worked out for him, he realised he missed me and we got back together (was a hard decision on my part by then).
The only thing I can echo is keep your dignity. Don't peak to him, you don't need him and you don't need him at you grad.. That should be all about you!!
Nim/cmd- I saw taytos in home bargains so I remembered you mentioned them on here think they were 19p a packet but if you like them it might be worth a little look?
Dinah- shame about the products. All I can say is if a supplier is letting u down this early... Move on! Or don't you have co tracts Inc. Delivery spec in place?
Lara- I'm going to pm you when I can work put how on my phone!! Hope that's ok!!
Poodle- I'm sure you'll have time for wedding planning can we have some DOTDs if you're planning to look for dresses soon?
Anyways this wasnt meant to be a long one!!0 -
Ps I wore heels to graduation an dost fall down. Noone did so don't worry about it archer and Zig!! Also if you wear something with a button (think like a button up shirt.. I had a dress with buttons on a sort of placket) then there's a thing on the hood which hooks around a button and holds it nicely. If you're wearing something else.. Don't worry because mine also had Velcro and there's always safety pins (take these with you)0
