    Hi TheAllenCadenhead and welcome to the team!!! Sounds like you're well on track already :T
    I'm just in the middle of cleaning my room but came on here to tell you all my fiasco with my gym ball! I'll do my updating later this afternoon if that's ok and let you have your number then? I think there are a couple of other newbies so I can't just guess as I like to put people in order that they'd joined. What GTP have you applied to do? i.e. maths, science etc...?

    Thanks!! i'll keep checking and come back I've already signed up for the Sealed Pot Challenge 5 which looks awsome! so going to change my sig any time soon :):rotfl:
    I'm so poor I can't even pay attention.

    I've just looked into the Cinema half term offers - is there anyway of booking ahead whilst avoiding the charges? Had wanted to take the girls to £1.50 viewing but they want an addition 75p admin charge for booking over internet/phone. Can I avoid this by going to the cinema (vue) and paying by cash?

    Also love the idea of telling kids the amount that they have to cover their half term activites - I'm going to try that out for the rest of the week :)

    It really works! I think I just got fed up of all the 'I wants' one day and showed them the shrapnel I had left!!

    I reckon you could buy the tickets earlier, but still on day of showing, at the multiplex. I feel such a mug that I used to pay the extra to book in advance and I'd even get the VIP seats :o I wonder why I owe so much?

    My present for MrS :) Icing was a bit runny but it's the second time ever I've decorated a cake! Made a hell of a mess with the icing sugar though... I'm covered :rotfl:

  • psychopathbabble - what a romantic you are! and Rdchick's BF too! Renews my faith in men :)

    Eddi - vwcampervan mum - Glad DD liked her room :) Also a little off topic, if you don't mind me asking, is that your splitty in your avatar? It's gorgeous :D My ex had an old bay camper. We went touring Germany in it one holiday, went to a German Vdub show and to the VW factory/museum at Wolfsburg. Left the cool box plugged in accidentally while we went round the museum and had to push it in the car park at Wolfsburg to get it to start. Major embarrassment :o
    Ha Ha!:rotfl: Typical VW story!
    Sadly avatar VW is not mine - I used to have a less cute n not so old but v decrepit VW. Had to let it go as big bits of metal kept falling off. I certainly kept the RAC busy while I had my van. Would love another when I am debt free - I certainly felt like "I was living the dream" when I had it :)
    Kerri your job sounds great - a bit of travelling to add variety but not a daily grind. I don't feel sorry for you now :D
    catmort - I think yr decision not to go but offer personal alternative is good. If you stick to your MSE guns maybe she will get her own LBM too :A

    ETA: MrS is Mr Scotland but shortened to MrS just in case anyone is more confused! When I frst met him, he was known as Mr Scotland as he is scottish but living in Essex.
