:(:( about Boston. Heart breaking. I don't understand people's thinking at all

But on a positive note, I loved reading this story....

HAW the whole thing devastates me, but the thought that a little boy the same age as my eldest was killed makes me sick to my stomach. To plan it where they knew there would be masses of families for optimum carnage is beyond belief. No one has the right to end another person's life in that way and I will never understand their thinking.

Lovely story about the guy carrying on though! I think the best way to look at the whole event is from the perspective of just how many wonderful people were happy to risk themselves to protect or help others. True angels Xx

I'd be more worried about DS1 drinking a lot. If there is no juice available, does he drink the same amount of water?

He is at the age where Diabetes A often manifests, so if the answer to my question is "yes" then a visit to the GP is in order to [hopefully] rule that out.

Yes Robin he will readily drink water and I don't think it's about the taste, more the thirst so I will stop thinking about making an appointment and just do it. Xx

I've just spent £95 in H0meb@se :eek:. Hopefully I got everything we need to decorate three rooms though and by making use of the 3 for 2 offer I saved £35. I even put it through as 2 separate transactions to make sure I saved £35 not £30 as it was lowest priced items free :rotfl:

MY OH gets soooo embarrassed with me when I do these kind of things. BUT I DON'T CARE :money: He would take the £5 that i saved though so he would!!! NO CHANCE!

Plus sometimes you get good girls on the checkout who tell you to do it! :cool: xxx

I know when B00ts do 3 for 2, the till automatically lines them up in price order and deducts every 3rd item free, not just the lowest priced ones if you see what I mean. Today in H0meb@se though it was plastered everywhere 'cheapest item free' so as soon as I got to the till I just said to the girl that I wanted to put them through as 2 separate lots to get the best out of the 3 for 2 and she said no probs.

Haven't done anything with the paint yet though! Been busy doing some planning for Beavers and sorting some paperwork.

I always do that too - i'll happily separate my shopping into 10 lots if need to just to get the best deal (and i wouldn't expect anything less from us mse'ers lol) xx

Got weighed tonight and I've gained 3.5lbs :eek: Thank god I don't go to weddings every week! DH lost a pound :mad: :rotfl:. I think the main difference is that we haven't been able to get to gym this last week but DH has still been out running so he has exercised and I haven't. New 12 week, 2 stone target starts again tonight!

Hi PLMBL

Surely you're not trying to lose 2 stones in 12 weeks!!! They say 1-2 pounds a week is a realistic target to aim for. Slowly but surely will ensure the weight stays off. Lose too much too fast and you'll just give up and the weight will go back on. Good luck with it anyway.
