    I think I'd even stand a chance against the taker purely for running out in blue body paint...uhoh, Cinny I think I'm in trouble lol

    Oh aye, take a man down when he's still recovering from a match he did 7 months ago!

    I've kind of fallen out with my Brother :o He told me off last night for being 'icy' with his Girlfriend on Sunday and I just couldn't stop myself. It's horrible that I've delt with her crazy for nearly 3 years, without so much of a peep (bar, well, calling him an idiot last week), and the one night I don't want to focus on her moods to keep the peace, I'm a bad person. It hurts! I asked him if he's ever spoken to her when she's icy and plain rude to me, repeatedly, and he said 'Well, er, no because that's just how she is with people' *rolls eyes* OH said I did the right thing to stand up for myself but *shrugs* I dunno.

    But in happy MSE news, I'm out of pink lady apples but going to Aldi where they have a pack of 6 for £1.70 :money:

    They look amazing Greenie, especially love the glitter.

    You were right to stand up for yourself Cinny but try not to fall out with your brother (I know it's hard).

    I love pink ladies, so pricy though!

    I am off round one of the mums i met at baby groups houses this afternoon with a few other mums, will be nice and we are having cake yum.

    You should listen to him. He's right.

    Greenie those cakes look amazing! Love the bow on the spotty one. I wouldn't want to eat them! :D

    Archers I love the shoes! I really want some nude ones :) I ordered a little purse for my Mum last night, the bracelet I'd seen was out of stock when I went back to order it so I thought I'd get some gloves, when I went to order them they gone so had to grab the purse before that went too! I have a love/hate relationship with MSE as it alerts me to the fab deals and freebies, but too many people see them and take everything before I get chance to get my stuff! They had found a glitch where you could buy a £50 giftcard for £14 (£4 was P&P) as there was welcome discount of £20 off £50 spend, then the £20 Elle card so people were buying duplicates and taking the pi55, I looked last night and they'd disabled the welcome discount (I was looking to get a £60 scarf but changed my mind once that code stopped working!) and taken all gift cards under £100 off the site. Bl00dy MSErs causing havoc as usual! :p

    Sorry to hear about the fall-out Cinny, leave him to stew about it today then make an effort to talk to him, make it clear that you've not got a problem with him but with his GF and if she treats you like crap then you'll be just about civil with her but you'll stop making an effort... then tell your Mum to stick her nose in, that'll sort it out! ;)

    Enjoy your cake Wendz! I'm not jealous... :o

    That's the thing with MSE deals, people get greedy and ruin it for those who really just want to do what the code/offer's for. At least you managed to get something!

    From what I've heard, he is. Either with neck or shoulder problems, have you seen his match with Hunter at the last Wrestlemania? It was brutal.

    And I know I did the right thing to stand up for myself. But it's more him falling out with me, he's cancelled all our plans, said he won't be coming over anymore. I told him not to be silly but it's his choice, ball is firmly in his court now. Just going to let it rest now, whatever happens, happens!

    Have fun with the other Mums, Wendz. And enjoy the cake! Ohhh, I miss cake :( But I don't miss my cake shelf!

    Hunni if he's gonna be like that you need to let him be like that and be sure not to get down about it. Yes its tough but I suspect he'll realise that your not the one in the wrong. In fact I suspect he already knows but is just afraid of being alone.

    Need a bit of present help. I am doing my mum a relaxation hamper for christmas, so far i have got her slippers, bath stuff, 2 mini bottles of wine and a book. Anyone got any more ideas? I only have about 7.50 left in the budget so can't be anything too costly.
  • Grr just lost my whole post.

    Candle, chill out cd, hotwater bottle or microwaveable version??

    Off ill today, cold either keeps adapting or I've caught 3 one after other :( at the coughing stage where whole body aches now, hoping day in bed will nip it in the bud :(

    Gorgeous cupcakes! You're really good greenie

    Aww sorry you're feeling poorly Archers, I went through a phase a couple of years ago of catchng one thing after another, knocks you for six!

    How about an eye mask for your Mum Wendz? Oh and a couple of those face masks that come in single serving packets (IYKWIM?!). Ooh and a bath pillow? Should be able to get all of that from a cheapy shop for less than £7.50 :) Check out free/£1 magazine subscriptions too :)
