Ok thanks Elysia, will do some more searching then. Didnt want them to bar me or anything.

Was just having a look on HMV and saw the box set I bought OH for his birthday (Columbo), it was on there for £125!! I only paid £55 for it a month ago on Amazon. Checked on there and its now gone up to £75 something, probs because the actor died since I bought it (he died about two days after). Glad I ordered it when I did. If OH does his normal and checks to see how much I spent he will be flabbergasted lol.

Fair enough - I won't mention it again. I'm just a bit of a worrier.

Just received my T vouchers through the post - strangely they didn't come from France like they usually do. They didn't even have a compliments note in to say who they're off. It was just that they are £15 L2S, which I always order off T and I was expecting them, so that's how I knew.

As they are posting in this country now - hopefully that means that fewer will get lost - I've had two lots go missing now. T haven't even responded to my emails.

I had one of mine this morning, never looked at the postmark, but thought it was strange as theres normally the letter, but was yours in a posh display holder.
I'm still outstanding 3 lots, and am up to 70,000 towards my next claim. Have decided am saveing them for a camera I want, it almost feels like demanding diva moment, I had one was dodgy to download, then we realised that could put the memory card in computer, by then, (last yrs bday) mum + dad got me a new camera, they were plzed as they had gone by mega pixels, -its an ok camera, wasn't a patch on the other one, which Miss Hoodie dropped in the sea in Dom Rep,

This is the one I want but its £130.00 (we have £20 in the LTS vouchers, but do have £45 on order - thats half way through... but all the clicking be worth it.

Quick Update -
The Cafcass saga - the boss was suppose to get back to me on Friday, he didn't, despite me making sure I stayed in, not that I have a wonderful social life, but its the principal, no news, so yesterday rang, and the officer was in meetings all day, she'd ring me back 1st thing, by midday nothing, rang again, and got hold of her... got another one of my complaints done... despite their reply saying that she must see Miss Hoodie, her boss is now now allowing it, - they have to get another officer in, i reminded that I had been waiting since FRiday, and that I'd rang, to which a comment was made, we don't always have records of calls... (but mum2one does - as it was an 08 number had to pay for the call, all the calls are itemised), she said she would have to ask the court for an extension as the life book was late... don't get me started on that one... so when I told her we were taking some family hols in August, and everything was agreed at the last hearing, and that they continue to muck me around it won't just be the solicitor be writing to, she rang me back teatime, shes emailed the new officer and shes going to get it arranged for either wed, (short notice), thurs or next Mon after school, - considering the report has to be done by FRiday. I've kept my solicitor in the loop, we've got the hearing next week, and I didn't want them saying I hadn't made Miss Hoodie available, when noone had rang, so shes due to ring tomorrow with time and date. So tonight we have had the child from hell, doors slammed, I hate you, your making me see those people, i've got my dad here (what she calls my dad), I don't want him, i don't want his new family... so could be a fun meeting!!

On the positive the new setttee came today, its lush, so firm but really comfy, Bailey has already sampled 40 winks on all of it, Miss Hoodie is trying to claim my chair... either that or the 2 seater settee to herself, makes you laugh, the larger settee, is meant to be a 3 seater, but it has just 2 cushions, but there was a safety notice, that no-one is to sit in the middle of the settee where the cushions meet!!
Now for a bloke that moaned he knew nothing, (ok, we're give him that one), that he'd never purchase a leather settee, all your mothers doing, - we now have oh isn't it lovely, so comfy, I can stretch out, wheres Bailey so we can have our afternoon nap, best thing we ever did was get a leather settee.... even wiping it with baby wipes, as Bailey shot through with wet feet... all I can say is typical man!!

Off to the land of nod... school tomorrow... help!!

Mum2one - that camera is excellent. Both my Dad and my sister have one. They found it great because it's a midway camera from the basic ones, to the professional ones. I think I'd be too daunted - I like to point and shoot. Yes, the T vouchers came in a presentation wallet. I was a bit surprised. Like you say, they usually come with a letter.

Morning ladies - I hope it's going to be a bit busier on here today. I don't like it when it's quiet. Off out to Ikea in a bit (second time this week) as the items I wanted were out of stock in the one we visitied. The rain is bouncing here today, so I hope it brightens up before I go out.

Have a good day everyone. I hope to redeem on SB later.

Bunbun - congratulations on your DoU crown. Hooray. :j

Morning everyone.

Rain has started now too here. I'm glad it didn't do it on the school run. I ended up taking my neighbours little one again, and boy is he a pain. Much harder work than my two put together, and brings out the worst in my two as well. We ended up with me running after them some of the way. I don't like saying no as his mum is ill, but if he doesn't behave I might have to. Little terror.

Congratulations on getting a crown bun bun.

Fingers crossed today someone gets a OP bonus too from these competitions.
