ShonaM- Im so so glad your son is happier now! Sounds like a lovely christmas you have planned with your mum and aunty. I want to get one of the B&M throws for my sister but was unsure of the size as you cant tell with it rolled up and Im not good with measurements. Is it the right size to put on a double bed? Thanks.

whitesatin-Fantastic elf! :j

Nanamia-Yay when are you off to Australia? Must feel lovely having it to look forward to.

chirpychick-Fantastic that you are baby are all good! Enjoy your last weeks of pregnancy.

My friend told me about a groupon deal earlier as we are going to visit her in Derbyshire in a few weeks. :j Thought Id post it as its a great saving and would make a lovely gift for a family! Matlock Farm Park voucher, £8 for 2 adults, 2 children or £4 for 1 adult 1 child. http://www.groupon.co.uk/deals/nottingham/Matlock-Farm-Park/11342226 Also this Indian takeaway deal for Nottingham is a great deal if you have a couple to buy for who live there? http://www.groupon.co.uk/deals/nottingham/Bombay-Delight/11262351
I was looking at my 'still to buy' list last night and its a bit :eek:! Need to seperate the stuff into 2 lists, stuff to buy in November and stuff to buy in December! Oh such a shame having to write more lists!

:xmassmileThank you all, we are off on January 10th Such a great time to go too my DH doesn't have good health and has been so very poorly the last few years so we will escape to the sunshine which he loves. It's a wonderful feeling to have it in print (only half paid for!) but doable. We are going to enjoy Christmas with our daughter and her family then fly to the sun (VVVDGD1) more importantly:)

ShonaM I've missed you so glad things have worked out well.

good luck will-be-debt-free. Hope it all goes well. Please post an update when baby's here.

Amanda65 - if you go to the top of the thread (where it shows the amount of pages) - there is a "search this thread" option.
I've not tried it but I guess if you put "skittles vodka" into it it'll show you the various posts in the thread that talk about it.

I just told a work collegue about Rudolph Scene it and he had never heard of Home Bargains. :eek:

What sort of crazzzzzzzy people do you work with!!:rotfl:

oooh how exciting good luck!!!


MASSIVE THANK YOU

so sorry i've not managed to get online sooner than now but GUESS WHAT!!

Baby (Levan) and I are doing great! There is no pre eclampsia and for the 3rd and final time I'm not even bordering on Gestational Diabetes!! I also don't have pregnancy hypertension or anything else!
It was all a load of worry for nothing!

My SPD is still bad but I can deal with that.

I am so relieved and so happy but would very much like the medical professionals to leave me to enjoy the last few weeks of my pregnancy now.

I will have a couple of growth scans but although measuring 2 weeks ahead that has been consistent all the way through so where they originally kept telling me i'd probably be induced that may also not even happen now!

I had been so stressed and so worried and now I can relax and get back to focussing on Christmas as a family with my little boy and hubby

Thank you again for all your lovely comments

I am so so pleased, now you can relax and enjoy the pregnancy!!

Am so glad the bullying has been sorted. Last week my niece ( year 7 and at different school to dd) confided in her that she was being bullied by a Year 8 and didn't want to tell her Mum. She was worried my sister would go up the school and make things worse.
Dd told her not to worry. She got on BBM and told some friends from her football team. I would have loved to have been there when the bully was told by 5 year 11s bullying wasn't nice.
Needless to say it has since stopped .

Im glad, kids just need telling sometimes. Like the bunch of pottymouthed teens on my bus today who got told off by a lady with a young child, who they quickly apologised too!!

ShonaM Im glad things are settling too

Anddd Willbedebtfree, good luck!!!! Pushhhhh

Bit random lol but does anyone know where I can buy Szaloncukor, its a traditional hungarian christmas candy? (according to wikipedia lol) Tried ebay and amazon but no luck, you can get it on amazon.com but costs a fortune and i just want it as a little thing for a stocking! Do you think the world food aisle in supermarkets would have it?

ShonaM

PINKSTEPS....lovely to have you back as well. I was about to send out a team of elves to hunt you down lol:j

OWN MY OWN....I really dislike bullies, they just pick on anyone. And as you say its normally the ones that wont say anything. So glad your neice managed to tell someone. Some kids are rotten little b*ggers.

SNUGGLEBUNNY 8...lol that made me think of my mams cat. My mam found her in the wool basket all in a knot. She had been there for hours but just gave up on trying to escape. Our little pupster is a checky monkey at times. :rotfl:can just see the cats making there way up the tree lol

MONEYSAVINGMUMOFONE....the throw I got was folded up with a bright pink ribbon around. I didnt realised how big it was till I opened it. Id say this one was double size if not bigger.
