    Hello All :wave:

    A very happy New Year to you all, I never got back on the ’fred after my last post at Hogmany, been busy with parties and last few days busy flying as I could not get onto internet. Thanks to all at FCC for the lists etc. I should manage to cross off a good bit as kitchen was totally gutted after my monthly cookathon on Monday then LR & hallway gutted when I was taking down tree & decs yesterday. Hope you are all well, hope to catch up soon, I am using internet at work *groan* just back today and feel as if I have never been away.

    Grab a hug/stick/spoon if you need one, special love as always to Lady-L, Toots & Diva x

  • great idea, but he already got me a new laptop in november, if i can check email on it and facebook for free, then when my mobile comes up for renewal i wont need such an expensive package or a fancy phone:D

    do what i do when i want anything big (was taught this by mummy dearest :D). New handbag, I want a louis vuitton (when i really want a lulu) so i price up the louis vuitton and purse as ive got to match and show him it. so that would be my birthday/christmas/anniversary/valentines (whatever he is around for or whatever he has missed that year) he panics like mad as its the best part of 2K, phones my best friend and she talks him into the lulu that ive had my eye on complete with matching purse and umbrella as its so much cheaper. result happy him as hes saved a fortune and happy me as i got what i wanted originally. ive only done this a couple of times and each time ive got what i want although dont see it working well at the moment :rotfl:
