HAMMIEHOO

Am going out for some bread so probably won't be back on here until much later, so for those of you who may like to see the cards I will post the pictures now and if they are bothering people let me know and I will edit my post later to remove them







Hope this helps someone.

Hi all

Not caught up yet so forgive me for being rude and not commenting on any posts yet, just wanted to ask if you all thought that a parcel, 2nd class, posted at 4ish would have got to it recipient by 1ish next day? One of the items I sold on Ebay is being argued saying its the wrong item but in truth I dont believe it can have even got there yet. What do you all think? At the minute Ive responded saying that got there quick as I only posted teatime yesterday, if its the wrong item she can have a full refund once the item is returned to me. Is that fair?
Thanks in advance x

Sounds fair to me Pipsmum, I suppose it could have got there if it went in with the first class stuff by mistake.

I wonder if they have frgotten about something different they have bought, and are getting mixed up?

Have you asked them what is Wrong about it?

I do find it HIGHLY UNLIKELY it would have got there that quick, but anything could happen in the hands of royal mail I think you are being perfectly reasonable... but you might like to get the full details from them first, before they send you something random back!!

Hi Everyone, sorry not been around for a while have been v busy with housework the last couple of days, all straight again now for the time being! Hope you are all ok, will read back in more detail now x

Thanks for all the advice re Tabi and the injections. The poor thing had a few rough days but nothing too bad, she did get a bit of a temp though so the calpol was ideal to have in just in case. Stupidly we just gave the first lot on a spoon and it got spat out all over her neck, Calpol is sticky stuff!!!!!

Would love to join the facebook group as well, how do I?

Have a piney last night and have redeemed again on sb, only took 9 days to get to next redeem, very pleased.

Ebay sales have been excellent, am up by £40 already, just need to list some more and hit the £50, will keep going in dribs and drabs after that I think.

hi
i used to give my littlen the calpol before we went so if she did have a temp then it would already be under control

Luv P

Wow those cards are lovely 1p you say, bet they sold out quick! My sainsburys local was selling packs for 25p yesterday and rolls of paper for 20p but I resisted, knowing I've already bought enough to last for 2 Christmases and thought I wasn't being very money savvy buying for the sake of it. There is a boots website you can join, it's mostly for people local to my area, in the midlands . If you are, pm me and I'll give you the email addy to apply.
Took dd dancing tonight for the first time. She LOVED it! They are doing a show in may and the teacher said she had joined in time to learn the dances so she can be in it!
Got a result from tesco, the items overcharged refunded, and for my inconvenience another £20 e vouchers to spend, in total nearly 2/3 of my shopping free!
Right off for a cuppa before my mum gets here!
Loving the fb group btw x

Afternoon all! I am back and had a lovely Toby Carvery Breakfast with the girls and my best mate bought mine as I babysat her daughter during the holidays so she could work! I know not strictly within the diet but I am so full up I dont fancy lunch so not too bad!
Need to go catch up on all the surveys etc and see what emails I have to go through1
Also need to explain to Connor, again, that Christmas is over! He today shouted from the playground "Bye Mummy, Merry Christmas!" lol

Also first night of no nappy! He had a wee about 8 and into bed, I checked on him at 3am and he was a bit wet but not the sheets etc, thing is he was asleep so looks like it doesnt bother him! I toileted him then and he stayed dry till 7am! Any thoughts? Should I just keep going or as a friend suggested put him back in pull ups until his nappy is dry through the night which it never is? Hmmmm! Kids!

How old is he?? We are having issues with our daughter, she is 4 1/2, have took her drink from her after tea tonight apart from a little sip at bedtime so will see how we go, we get some dry nights but mainly wet. I have left her in her pull up tonight but i am seeing the health visitor tomorrow and she is getting me some info so I will let you know tomorrow what the advice is.
