Sounds like a real baby boom in your family CMD! Will be lovely for Max to have lots of people in the family around his age.

Checked my bank this morning and the money for OH's work shirts still hasn't come out of my account, I've lost my account details so I'm going to call up this afternoon as they did offer me £150 account credit - but I'm 99.99999% sure I clicked to pay by card! Also forgot to mention, I've picked up another shift at work and I have some jobs on this weekend so the extra money will be split to bills and the challenge. Might be puppy sitting at home on Friday too, but I'm not 100% on that yet!

I'm with you on Harry Potter though CMD, read the first two books in Yr5 at school but when they dropped the fuss on the third book it was only the suck up kids that carried on reading. So I didn't Obvious logic there.

Yay for extra money Cinny. Hows the business going?

I started reading harry potter when i was about 16 , was a bit late. Used to read it to the kids i babysat for and didn't have a clue what was going on.

I started reading them shortly after the 4th book was released, I was so sick of hearing all about it all the time I decided to read them so I could say, 'Pah, it's all rubbish!'... but got sucked in well and truly! I then got about 10 of my friends into it so became the go-to person for questions and theories, which is why I ended up knowing loads. It's getting more obvious now as to why I'm so freakin' excited about going to HP World though!

Well done on the extra shift and weekend jobs Cinny, another great boost to the challenge!

I was like that too Birdie, didn't want to get sucked in..unfortunately i did hehe.

I think it was about the 3rd book I started reading, again I tend to avoid things everyone goes on and on about (I still have no idea what Beiber fever is) but I really enjoyed reading them. The films I can take or leave as I think they're a bit flat compared to the books, but then I did find the last two books quite slow paced so maybe I'd prefer the films of these two.

Love all the chat this morning, can't believe I missed it because I was actually dong some work!

Dinah, SUPER super news on the barclaycard, will make a world of difference. It really is nice to be back on the debt-busting train. I can't believe I messed up my ticker - should I have just copied the URL from the bar at the top? I thought all those links looked a bit complicated

Sorry to hear about your uncle, Tete, hope the op goes well.

CMD, you are a superwoman - it's making me feel exhausted and I'm not heavily pregnant. Hurrah for lovely baby news. Bobby is very cute!

Congrats on graduation (and staying up in heels!) Archers! And hope today goes well for Zig! xx

Thanks poddle!
1 meaty oompa loompa is on order dinah

Loving the French harry potter, wish I was multilingual! I read an American version of one of the.books and got,confused with what 'bangs' were as I was quite young. I have the first 2 books signed as no one was really fussed about them back then so she still did signings.
Sorry for typos, on my phone

Birdie85

Oh my god, how jealous am I of your signed books!!!! I remember reading a forum around the time the 4th book was out and the American version was less Americanised than the previous versions as I think that the translators (for want of a better word) had decided that the 'funny' English words added to the charm and there were all these American kids asking what 'taking the mickey' meant and what a 'jumper' is!

I keep picturing a pork chop with arms and legs when I think about a meaty oompa loompa! Quite worrying how my brain works!

CMD how lovely to hear the baby news. Here's hoping for a labour like your cousin. That was really quick. The midwife told me that I should have a quicker labour this time due to having SPD. She said it'll be easier as my pelvis is already starting to seperate. That's no comfort for me atm!!!!
