    Sorry about two posts together but I dont know how to combine two quotes from different folk.

    Hello to quote two different post you click on the orange and purple balloon at the bottom and then on the posts you want to quote.
    Here dead we lie because we did not choose
    To live and shame the land from which we sprung.
    Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose,
    But young men think it is,
    And we were young.

    AH! Brilliant. Never got to grips with that - thanks! :j

    Erme, I would echo Chika's advice. Rather than stop taking the meds abruptly it's better to consult a doctor. I hope you enjoy a good night's sleep and feel more up to things tomorrow.

  • :hello: Hello everyone. Just finished reading the pages since yesterday, phew. We're really rocking and rolling now. Like Nuala said so many posts to quote and then I forget who's said what...but looks like everyone is doing great :j
    Erme really pleased the carper cleaner worked for you.
    itsallinthemind no skimming for me ;)...chocolate and cheese (ah the memories)
    Pleased to report a NSD today but not tomorrow as I've parcels to post. Will take some of my home made soup into work, must get it out the freezer first.
    Made a yummy vegan chocolate cake and oaty biscuits this evening. Already had everything in and we really fancied something sweet. Won't put a piccie up of the cake (most of the cakes gone now anyway) because it's a bit mean of me when some of you are dieting but if anyone wants the recipe let me know and I'll post recipe up because it's quite a good cheapish one.
    I've got some parcels to wrap before I go to bed and still need to have a bath and wash my hair!
    I couldn't go though before popping on here :)
    Hope everyone has a great 'spendwise' day tomorrow.
    Sleep well

    Hey erme, just wondering how you are getting on with your shampoo? How much does it work out at per wash?

    Currently we are using a stock of cond from ast year I got vvv cheap in asda and shampoos are coming courtesy of our B00ts points ( the cheapest is 89p) Our boots points will run out soon and we only have one conditioner left in the store then we are out. I have vvvv dry and desperate for a cut and frizzy so conditioner helps. Not using cond isnt an option for me ( tried it, didnt work)
    I sometimes use an African Caribbean conditioner called Baby Love. It is really good for tangles and frizz!

    Still no cheese/chocolate/coffee in a month soon. Luckily I would not choose cheese over the safespace, so you can't tell me off yet ;)

    Well done on NSD :)

    Please share, if they can talk bacon we can talk cake :p:D

    :jI had a bit of a tidy up earlier and found a twenty pound note I'd tucked away and forgotten about!
