    Good afternoon lovelies :hello:

    Saversavvy - Thank you so much for your kind words:) I hope the meeting went well yesterday and you're having a good day :A

    Snap - :j So pleased to see a post from you and hear that you and fourp are having a fabby time in Ireland :D:T

    MrRumples - Hope you had a safe journey home :)

    SprialingDown - :mad: Poor you!!!! :mad: I'm once again frustrated on your behalf. It's extremely selfish of your Mum to guilt trip you into helping her when you're already doing the work of 10 people! Sending you great big cuddles smiley-hug013.gif I'm so pleased the contractor has finally come through and you'll be moving in so soon! :j:j:j

    SummerStars - You're welcome :D

    Nikki - Jogging :T Bravo! Sorry to hear DS felt so disheartened after his exam. From my experience, the exams I've found most difficult have actually been the ones I've done best in because it's taken me so much more effort and time to process the question to produce an answer. He's worked incredibly hard and clearly a very bright and intelligent boy so I really hope he passes with flying colours :A

    Tinyshoes - Nuh uhhh! You my dear are extremely strong and courageous, I refuse to rescind my words :D Pleased to hear Mum's a little brighter, poor thing. Hope she's feeling even more herself today and not in any pain. And Congratulations to your DD :TAnother extremely bright and intelligent member of the Elite offspring ;):D

    FloFlo - smiley-hug013.gif What an awful lot you've got going on! :( Thinking of you and willing you the strength to get through these next few weeks :A

    barksavingmad - :o Awww thank you, you're too kind :D Pleased to hear of another 50 shades fan ;);););):o

    Ilovemykids - :D:D:D:D:D

    locarr - AMAZING story about the taxi driver. Thank you so much for sharing :A Definitely makes you think about how taking a little time and effort can mean the world to someone.

    bensonsmum - !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o I am truly awed, flattered, humbled and amazed, I really just don't know what to say other than THANK YOU! :o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o I really just don't see myself like that at all but that you do means so much to me :Axxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx smiley-hug013.gif

    dreamerbea - Check you out down the gym ;);):D Good luck and well done! :A And thank you as always :) xx

    mrs-moneypenny - :(:(:(:(:(:(:A:A:A:A I am so sorry to read of your niece and what a struggle she's fought in the first few months of her life. What a tough cookie. The despair and hurt your brother and SIL must feel on a daily basis, must be horrendous. I very much hope that she continues to grow and strengthen over the short term future and will be able to join her twin at home where she belongs. Please keep us updated. :Axxx Sending cuddles smiley-hug013.gif

    logie - :T Great to hear everything went well with your midwife :T

    Call of Trouty - Yes I've had a few price checks come back with n/a when they're clearly available, frustrating! :mad: But my most annoying one was for Mullerice (was from a womble so I won't be raising the issue) It was the 6 pack Mullerice and though it was £1.50 in A's, it compared to full price (£3.28 I think :mad:) !!! AMAZING whoopsie shopping :T

    AAAAAAAARGH!!

    A huge big spider just went scuttling across my floor :eek::eek:
    I don't like them at all *shudders* Was very close to screaming then I realised DD was watching me, don't want to pass on my fear to her, so quickly ran to put my shoes on so I could stand on it, but the little booger went under the telly stand.
    DD asked 'what that mummy'
    Me in a singsong voice 'just a little spider, it's away under the telly hiding one me'
    DD then proceeds to try and get under said telly stand while shouting 'where are you spider' looking all :D while I'm sat like :eek:

    Think I need a lie down now! :rotfl:

    :eek::eek::eek::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I am EXACTLY the same!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm petrified of big black spiders as they move so fast. Hairy ones, daddy long legs etc, they're fine but big uns OMG!!!!!!!!!!! :eek:

    When I was about 17 I was staying in a hospital of sorts (like The Priory) and as it was summer I had my window open. I had ivy growing up the wall directly outside my room and one day I was sat on my bed reading, went to move my teddy and underneath was the biggest black spider I have ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Poor teddy had to kill it for me. I ran downstairs and everyone thought I was stupid for being upset! :mad::( But I didn't sleep that night and moved every piece of furniture to check for any more! :o:o

    That started a terrible fear of them. Last night I went to bed eventually at about 2:30am and whilst brushing my teeth spotted a huge black spider on the skirting board!! I proceeded to wake the entire house up by waking up my sister (:p:p:rotfl:) to watch the spider whilst I went and got the Dyson! :rotfl: Of course then it had to be left on for 5 mins to make sure the heat killed the damn thing ;):o
