    Really chuffed as i fear a spendy couple of days sorting out my dad & trying to placate my mum & grandma who seem to be a bit jealous of the time i've had to spend helping him, so it's nice to know i've got a few saved pennies under my belt!!

    Well done BDINI:j:j

    Grrrr to families, sometimes they're a pain in the bum. Hope you manage to placate your mum and grandma x :A

    Spoony, I hope you found your brain, although you are entitled to the odd senior moment (not that I'm saying you're old though:D).
    I found it Red, thank you:D ...... and I prefer to call them "blonde moments" even though I'm definitely not blonde:D and could easily be classed a "senior":D

    An unbelievably spendy day today. Tv broke so i forked out for a new one (smart tv for £400 so not bad) and have been saving for a new laptop for a while so decided to get one.

    3 NSDs in a row for me, that's only because I've had a migraine and haven't left the house! The kids are driving me mad and the house is a state. :(
