LT i'm sorry but how can you not like the M stuff?? It's what great dinners are made of.

Sorry to hear you didn't get the job Pippi but I can understand how having to brush your hair EVERY day could be a big downside. I had my hair cut short quite a few years ago to avoid the above mentioned scenario. At the beginning of the year I had some sort of brain disengagement and decided to grow my hair and now it's getting to the point where it noticable if I haven't brushed it!! :eek: must book in with hairdressers and get it cut off again me thinks

Well done to the girls for reaching their monthly target. always good to have goals to work towards

Hope future MIL and Mr S have a nice time at yours

Shhhhhhhhh! I just went into town to get a dress for my cousin's wedding next week and the maternity shop was shut so I thought oh well I'll have to pop back tomorrow when it's open. on my way back to the car I thought I'll just have a wander down to the bottom of town and look in the charity shops to kill some time. Guess what I found?? A lovely dress that fits and looks quite nice suitable for the wedding :j it needs a bit of altering but nothing major. so after planning on spending £20-£25 on a dress I got one for £1.50!!!!! bargain

Well done starnac, imagine on the day how wonderful you will feel as people tell you how nice you look. Does that mean that you can spend more on shoes?

Pippi, dont work too hard but enjoy

i'll be happy if I can get away with no one telling me how fat I am!!!!

yep I might even treat myself to some new jewellery and something to wear in my hair instead of making it

sounds like a complete bargain starnac, i've probably not picked up on the fact that you're expecting before, congratulations.

My final comments on the M stuff, it's the texture that i can't abide, factor in my hatred of butter/marg, sloppy foods, cream in certain things and you have a receipe for a complete dislike of the stuff. It has grown though so that i will only eat potatos on very rare occassions and never if they're fluffy or in any way like the evil stuff.

Oh dear texture; butter/marg; sloppy foods; cream - it really is the devil's food for you isn't it???

The above to me make it the perfect food
