Hi everyone,

So frustrating on the forums last night!

Went to TK Maxx and spent a fortune but did get a new thick duvet I'd been looking for, Sanderson reduced from £100 to £35. Also a silk cushion some candles, a couple of Christmas tree baubles, a shirt for DS and 8 pasta bowls for DS and DD between them (both have been requesting them).

As reported on the flylady thread when I got home from work DH had done the chores on my list for me to do that evening so I had a quiet night. Won't happen today though because he's gone back to work so my list is all my own.

Greetings Everyone

I couldnt get back on here yesterday either.

This morning I had a go at Curry Queens cereal bars - trying to use up ingredients in the cupboards! they came out very nice indeed! they might be lowfat but im not sure about the sugar, honey & peanut butter is slimming?!:rotfl:

Anyway straight from work too kids to the "delightful slimming & healthy" McDonalds!!:rotfl: then off to see HAPPY FEET - was good but its one that could have waited till it was on dvd! and DH fell asleep!!!!! had to laugh when I had to get DD to give him a tap to wake up!:rotfl: We took some sweets & drinks with us as I hate paying cinema prices!! £3.50 for popcorn!!!????!!!!! and that was the small one!

and yes bargainrzl - I did manage to see some of Colin last nite on TV - only after kids watched Dr Who!:D had to laugh at colin's singing though!
I hope my new avatar of colin in the "wet shirt moment" didnt cause the MSE site crash!:rotfl: :rotfl:

catznine - I too am trying to use up stuff in the cupboards - but why is it only the naughty is still in there?? Im still chomping my way through xmas cake!

catowen - are you sure its site glitches and not just you trying to get another star!!!:rotfl: :rolleyes: OH YES wasnt that A Team van just great! you could just imagine everyone at home singing "DA DE DA DA" .......

((hugs)) moggins, tilly grace, & lilly

kyle - what about freecycle? there are usually exercise bikes on there?

vickya - Ive got RConleys Ultimate too - its good isnt it! I bought the salsacise one recently - its good but very gentle so you might need to upgrade to something abit more puff!

PP, I'd love to come too, but as Snowy are planning to come over on the 10th to see Aussielass I don't think it will be possible. I hope you all have a lovely lunch.

Pink - is there a definately meet date sorted ? I would like to come along - please....:o and is snowy coming over?

bargainrzl - are you coming to the PP mini meet? its a shame that PP is not in london at the same time as aussielass.

Bargain_Rzl

Shez... we have got the 10th Feb (evening) as a definite date for meeting up with Aussie in London... venue not yet finalised but I said I'd sort that out. Pleeeeeeze come Also I have PM'd PenPen back about lunch on the 7th. I would really like to do both and don't see any reason why I shouldn't

LOL at the idea of your new avvy making the site crash :rotfl: I must admit my heart skipped a beat when I saw it, so perhaps MSE had a full blown coronary :rotfl:

Shez

thanks for that brzl - Have put it in my new Pink Filofax!! I like you resolutions! I might put some in my signature!

Hiya

First day back at school for DS and w**k for me. Got up early but still somehow managed to be running out the door at the last minute.

Congratulations to those who are losing weight, giving up the dreaded weed, have good news to celebrate (especially Tilly Grace, JackieO).

((((Lisa)))) hope you start to feel better soon.

I received some books today that I had ordered in the Book People sale before Christmas. I ordered five books for my nieces and nephews birthdays/Christmas this year. Total price - £8. The books that I got today are beautiful (especially the Skating with Bears one) and are priced at £9.99, £10.99 and £10.99!! I even got a voucher code from Rpoints to get the free delivery. :j I am well chuffed.

Like one or two of you, I feel as though things are getting slightly beyond my control at the mo, so this weekend I intend to get some major clearing out done and then get myself organised, financially as well as otherwise. The shredder will be smoking by the time I am done.

How on earth did I miss Colin Firth last night??? What was he in?? Is it repeated. SOMEONE TELL ME, PLEASE!

Bargain_Rzl

anniebooklover - Colin Firth was in the made-for-TV film of The Importance of Being Earnest, with Judi Dench, Reese Witherspoon & Rupert Everett - it was originally shown on Christmas Day 2005 but repeated yesterday on BBC2

anniebooklover

BargainRZL Thanks. :doh: DS and I were watching Whose Line Is It Anyway? on FiveUS. Did flick over but only saw Rupert Everett. :rolleyes:

Moggins book the holiday - that's an incredible price.
