Thanks for all your replies, we feel very priviledged to have Beefy in our lives. I dont know how to post a picture, if someone can give me a rough idea how to do it I will give it a go. Thanks everyone xBefore you assume, learn the facts,

Yup I know I disappeared for the last week. But I have a great excuse.....and he's sleeping upstairs in his cot.
Zac Edward was born on 14th September at 12:48am weighing 6lbs 13oz. Labour was amazingly fast. Medically it was only 1 hour. But it was only 4 hours between waters going and having my little man in my arms.
Was kept in so long because of some medical concerns, but am home at last and all is going well.
Once again I didn't expect the birth for a good few weeks....and then he decides to come early. I will sort a pic out....but for now they're all on my camera and I have things all over the place.
Note: If someone would kindly fill me in on the current glitches I'd be very grateful. I'd imagine I have hundreds of posts to try and get through.[/QUOTE

I havent posted for a while but have been skipping looking at the fab pictures and reading the stories. I know you are lovely people and like me animal lovers so I thought I would share this with you. In 1990 we got a tiny cross bred siamese/alley cat (his mum got out naughty girl!
) Anyway we took him home, funny little thing, he looked a bit like a bat with his pointy ears and face. My boys loved him but when they went near him, as tiny as he was, he spat and went for them. So between them they came up with the name Beefy Boy
. He was a little nightmare, got up to so much mischief, he hid in bedside drawers, climbed net curtains, tore the furniture to pieces, stole food off your plate and generally caused chaos! We would regularly find dead animals under the kitchen table that he brought home. Anyway it is now 2012, he is :Astill with us although the boys have all now married. He is deaf, he has arthritis (DH has put a ramp from the back door to the garden to make his life easier) and the sight of a bird in the back garden now confuses him. He is very fussy what he will eat but at the moment likes the Iams Senior as a side dish
. We know he wont last forever and it will rip our hearts out when he goes, but what a lovely long life he has had :j. Thanks for reading.....Maz
My long gone puddy cat was an expert at opening hamster cages.....but the less said about that the betterMy husband says he will leave me if I don't stop shopping......... God I will miss that man.0 -

Hope that you are feeling better 4p.When I grow old, I dont want people thinking "what a sweet old lady" I want them to think

Yesterday I got 2 Jordan's plus the porridge in a tube thinking that was the trigger - is that right? I also had the 120 rice so everything worked fine.
But could I just have got another Jordan's instead of porridge?
I had 3 Iams, 2 mr Kipling, 120 rice, 2 Jordan's and the tube porridge and everything worked fine.
I now have 3 tubes of porridge so I,ve condemned myself to a winter of porridge eating and flapjack making when I would rather be eating Jordan's!
I know what you mean - Jordans Nutty Granola is to die for, it takes some chewing but its absolutely lush, i would never have dreamt of spending £4+ on a bag of cereal for me, so a big THANK YOU to each and every one of you xxxxVery proud to be Strip club member No 430 -

I am doing an A vs W so here is the list, I would need to add a couple of fillers but this is the basic list:
x1 Ambrosia Original Rice pot 120g
x1 Tresemme extra hold hairspray 500ml (pink strip)
x1 John Frieda Frizz Ease heat defeat spray 150ml
x2 Ciff bathroom mousse
x1 Mr Kipling Apple Pies
x1 Mr Kipling vienesse whirls
The cleaning, shampoo and cake's compare to W so I am trying to do it in the one shop rather than split it to use up my APG. However I'm not sure I've worked it correctly, do I need to add more rice pots to make it work or more products?
Many thanks in advance this thread has been brilliant.
Have you checked all items compare via mysupermarket.co.uk? if the do drop 1 item (not the rice) as you have 7 items you need 3/6/9 items0 -
Husband had to go to do a quote last night and said he'd go to Asda with me as he was jealous of me taking daughter (she behaves, he doesn't, thinks nothing of putting something in the basket to ruin a perfectly good shop!)
Disaster struck, no rice 120g except for the apple which doesn't work and I couldn't work out which oats I needed, also I hadn't looked to see what size of shampoo I needed!
So abandon that shop and go for a cider chocolate deoderent one in desparation so hubbie doesn't lose faith!
Allowed him a bottle of value whisky to appease him!
Shops at 21.20 ish last night.
