Sure it be brill, I'm cheating and using the cans from Lakeland, - but this is from the woman who burnt rice!!

Noticed the OU student at the bottom, what courses are you doing? xx

TylersMummy

I have on many occasions burnt rice too! I've heard of these cans from Lakeland. I'm going there next weekend, what are they?

OU - literally just started! Wanted to do one for ages and now I'm at home with Bubs I have more time on my hands. Doing the openings course Making Sense of the Arts. You have a degree - soooo envious! When did you do that?

These cans seem to take all the hard work out of it for you, think you just add sugar and boil.

The Arts sounds fab, I got the foundation degree this yr, should have in theory got BA Hons by now, but had some roller coaster times, and had to stop start, but it was weird at 1st hadn't studied since I was 26, and there was me at 35 restarting. I'm doing level 1 social sciences this year, interested in what makes people tick and how people react and judge, then next yr go back to business. Good for you. If I can help just shout, don't know if be much help thou xxx

Page 4??? What is going on!
I think we are all guilty of neglecting the page, it doesn't mean money making isn't going on! I recently ordered from Am some Nerf guns, reduced from £9.99 to £2.50, the offer seems to be on every other day and used Swag vouchers to pay so effectively FREE! Am looking into the kids main present now, don't know whether to go for an i pad to share or whether to get them a kids version cheaper that won't last as long. Any ideas?

Woohoo Foxy!!! I ordered the nerf guns too. Fabulous bargain.

We had a good day, had Miss Hoodies bday party, cinema then Pizza Hut, thou the wallet a lot lighter!!
Can't really complain, 6 kids, me and dad - the bill was £64, and we all eat well, the kids loved the unlimited icecreams - one boy looked like he was going to be sick! so sent him in dads car! xx

That sounds great Mum2one, what a bargain.

Had a day off the machine sewing yesterday, made some felt keyrings for the stall while watching a couple of films and the football. Today OH wants me to help him sort out his dvds and put them on a spreadsheet. We have over 1000 of them so he will have call out and I can type them in. Will keep him happy.
