    OK soz! :D I love my iphone. But I've said before I have the old version which is only £3 a month more expensive than my old Nokia was and I get so much more use from it so I'm a happy bunny. And I do like Nike running gear, it fits nice. And my hi-fi's a Sony. Oh dear. But I make my clothes out of old bedsheets so am I excused?

    *Does the word hi-fi still exist??

    I've said it before and I'll say it again, the only thing Steve Jobs was a loss to is Marketing. He was a Genius at it.

    If your going to spend Sony money on a sound system you really shoulda looked at Bose. Top end price but Dr Bose is freaking sound genius...or go commercial if your not bothered about looks and buy AVuno which'll save you a packet if you have a distributor near you.
    This was 6 months out of date so I've changed it.

    EDIT - that is creepy Ruby! The man I work with will sometimes comment on clothes/shoes etc (because he's a bit metrosexual) but nothing like that! "They're nice boots are they new?" - that's about the right level of complimentary!

    He's said stranger things. An example would be, (after I'd said "I'm special" with regards to having access to a database that he didn't)

    "Yes you are special, like a little cute individual snowflake"

    cool biking seems to make a lot of sense! I think ill look into it but im not really very fit! do you go to the gym/run too or anything or do you not need to?

    Grace is super cute!

    physio office sounds great Cinny! You should be able to see lots of hotties ha! hopefully it means youll be dealing with nice people though! Is it private? OH has to go to a physio but knowing him he won't remember to call and book it!

    glad the product samples went down well!! :)fingers crossed for the rest of the process going smoothly!

    Aww Grace looks so cheeky and happy! :)

    Ewww how creepy Ruby! There are a couple of blokes at my place who are a little too keen to compliment me which I'm quick to brush off but nothing *that* weird has ever been said to me! :eek:

    What's this Quidco check-in of which you speak? Is it on iphone?

    Yes - download the (free) Quidco app you can 'check-in' to certain high street shops for between 5 - 20p a time and it works if you're standing outside too so you don't have to go in Its a bit of a faff but its money for nothing.

    Ruby - that is really really creepy!

    Oh dear I feel like such a scrounger after reading the last few pages! :o We get Child Benefit, £50 Tax Credits a week and £10 a week Housing Benefit. Unfortunatly not spent on fun and games though, spent on making ends meet (unlike the single unemployed mother of 6 living near us who seems to have a holiday every couple of months!).

    I go back to work in a fortnight :( not looking forward to it but its only part time so we dont have to pay for Noah to go to nursery - really wouldnt be worth me going if had to go into nursery.

    Hope everyone is ok!
