    How is it you always seem to find large quantities of road change?

    - did you want Mr to put your Target as £300?


    A lovely camera, elfen and perfect for that sort of use; lovely little jobs are Nikon, Canon too. So pleased it's cost you so little in effect.


    I know that game, jakes-mum, I've forgotten the one my DH's giving me too...whether he likes it or not!! :rotfl:

    ferriswheeljunkie, you don't need to join up again or have a new number, just keep the one you have and carry on saving.


    Oh, come on curly, you really need to wise up! If DH puts his cash on the table, you don't ask why or question it at all - POT it quick...it's for his OWN good and stops ruining his pockets, that's all we do it for!! :rotfl:


    Were you having us all on with the text size, LC 2??? Simply highlight it and alter the number thingy above - if you can see it!! :rotfl: Ah, but - maybe you need glasses like sparky??? :p


    Just like my penny outside Co-op yesterday, oops, filthy it was and sooo wet, but I treated it with TLC :heartsmil then wung it in the pot! :j

    Errr mmm :think:, you can say that again, jakes-mum! :grin:;)


    That's the way to do it, Hiddenidenity.....ask em in an authorative way. :angry:


    All the best with your Target, peaceandfreedom. I suppose I'd best think of one..though a bit wary.


    Good to see you so soon, b-e-g and well done on the cash.


    kerri, to answer your question to sparky, he holds kiddies to ransome!!! No, that's not fair, but he does get most of

    It from their playing ground...need I say more?? ;) Thought not.
