    can anyone recommend a good electric can opener?
    Am fed up buying the ordinary ones as DH used it and puts it in the sink where they go rusty and cant use. I think i must buy 1 every month lol!!

    We've got this one http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/4226749/Trail/searchtext%3EKENWOOD+CAN.htm as you can see its got good reviews, I got it for Hubby Christmas '09 for similar reason to you and its still as good as new.

    I HATE cold feet with a passion, I even have bed socks (yes they are as attractive as they sound;))

    I go mad if my kids are walking about with no socks n slippers on haha...although (for those not on FB), We have had an incident here involvong an igorant 10 year old, a sock and my Dyson, which is now a poorly Dyson and a 10 year old that has been banned from all technology for a week!!

    :rotfl: I'd recommend holding the protractors hostage - surely Josh will run out eventually.

    :rotfl: He might move onto set squares next :D

    Jillie - I've had a Magi Can opener for years. It's mainly plastic with just the cutting wheels that are metal and it's never rusted. That would be cheaper than an electric one :money:
    Here I go again on my own....

    I didn't think of that - worse than protractors.

    Morning all!

    :rotfl: at Geometry Wars :)

    My lovely late-sleeping baby has been replaced by an early morning monster, I think it's her teeth but it's all a bit unpleasant at the moment with 5am wakeup calls and so on.

    Still I have my lovely NYC trip to look forward to - week after next already! I did my ESTA ages ago but need to do some other paperwork, right? *goes to look*

    Morning

    Anyone want a stroppy 11 year old? James doesn't see why he has to tidy his bedroom, as he likes living in a mess and apparently I shouldn't bother myself with the state of his room :mad: He's been told if it's not tidy by this evening, we're going in with bin bags tomorrow and everything is going in the bin :o

    Nothing exciting planned for today. I think my parents might be calling in, but I'm not sure for certain.

    Have a good day all xx
    Here I go again on my own....

    Becles - love the geomtry wars comment I actually LOLed.

    SS - yeay for silver lining trips to NYC :D

    Aless - where and when are you going to Butlins, want to take T away in September and your Butlins bargain hol sounds interesting.

    Sorry if I missed anyone have only read back a few pasges. I see we have some new faces though so ..Hi :D

    For those of you not on FB we now have a toddling baby girl here, very drunk looking toddling but she has done about 12 steps now without falling so is well on her way. We also tried her in bed last night with a pillow and duvet, not an amazing difference but some improvement in sleeping and she looked so snug and comfy, am just now cursing my self for not getting two duvet sets when they were on sale as this one looks so comfy.

    Som - we're going to Butlins in Bognor Regis...look for term time deals, they're the cheapest. There's a big sale on at the moment that ends tomorrow, but they'll likely have more later in the year too. Yay for Tahlie's steps, too! :T Finn's been pulling himself up to his feet lots and lots lately (even in the bath last night!) so we'll get there eventually :rotfl:

    SS - I'm pretty sure the ESTA is all you need to do *shrug*.

    Has anyone seen the ads for the new CBeebies show Rastamouse? I think it looks hilariously interesting, and I can't believe the PC police are letting it be a kids show - AWESOME.
