    Has everyone signed up to the Tastecard free trial? The offer runs out on Friday and my e-mail from them says it can take up to 28 days for the card to arrive, I'm hoping it'll arrive in a couple of weeks then I can use it if/when I go to London with Mummy! She said I had to cover my half of the food, do you think getting 50% off the bill will count as my share being covered?! ;)

    Shrallenge... I did try... but I've been Kinecting instead.... when I'm not being a lazy mare and mainly just sitting around watching my bottom grow! :o

    I never started the Shrallenge, too knackered. I've been feeling sleepy and dizzy for over a fortnight now, have made an appointment to see the docs. Keep wondering where ym bp monitor is - maybe its low? Failing that random anemia?

    More the merrier Amy, and there's no need to be scared, only Poolie bites.

    Hi Amy!

    Our work usually does a free trial of tastecard but mine has run out and didn't get to use it as was for April. Sadly don't get out much to dinner at the mo..

    Thanks for the welcome, felt a bit like I was a Peeping Tom reading and not letting anyone know I was there.

    When we got married/engaged I realised there are a canny few friendly peeping Toms out there - loads popped up and said congrats and vanished again. Anyone ever played those whack a mole/snake type games? Thats my visualisation of the lurkers on the thread!

    Hey Amy!! Nice to 'meet' you :D I don't like calling people who read the thread but don't post Lurkers. It makes me think of robbers! But I honestly can't think of a better word, Tete's fab with words. Maybe she can think of one :D

    I did 4 Shrallenge days but lah, I couldn't be bothered. I think Poddle is doing it though? Green Monsters and all!

    I remember loads of lurkers coming out of the woodwork when you got engaged. I thought it was really sweet :)
