Please stop posting photo's of food - it's not helping my diet.

Sophiebecks - my screen is a sea of red crosses too - as it was in Jan & so far this month I've won 2 books & a set of children's books - it's a good job i love reading & I loved The Boot Camp - I really identified with the characters.

Still waiting for this flaming baby to arrive - formal eviction procedures start tomorrow if necessary.

Have a good time sheils and safe journey, hope DD finds lots to buy.

Just got back from dog walking, by jingo it's cold out there, it's trying to do something, rain, snow, who knows, I'm just glad to be indoors again.

Hope things happen today with the baby, I'm sure it will be easier on DD if the baby is ready to come in its own time. Could be an exciting day for you, here's hoping.

Had to chuckle last night, I'm reading a book about a girl who along with her boyfriend has been saving for her dream wedding. He finally pops the question and she sets about organising the big day, only to find that without realising it she has been slowly spending the bulk of their savings playing online Bingo. Now she has to organise a beautiful wedding on a budget without him realising. She mentions going to the Money Saving Expert Forums for advice, how cool is that?

Morning everyone, nice pics today

Very wet and dreary here today.

Planning a visit to DD & family for catch up later but otherwise a quiet day.

Be lucky

Wingo - Had a fb request from RH is it OK for me to add do you know her? You are right about dogs knowing things. Suckie won't come down until Lottie does she just stands there barking at her and they always know that it is Fred who feeds them and its always me who Lottie brings her ball to because I am a soft touch.

Sheils - hope your DD manages to get what she is after, just don't make any suggestions about things you think will look good, only comment on the ones you don't want her to have (but that you like really) and those are the ones she will like. If you get my drift. That's the way I play it with my teenage GD and it usually works. Have a good time anyway and enjoy tomorrow. Your half term if before ours.

iluvcats - findus pics are great and of course the ice-cream

Hamsterfan - hope the baby comes today, don't forget to let us know if you have time that is.

B.Sue - which book was that it sounds the type I would read?

Ellemm - have a good time with DD and family.

Firefly - whats cooking today I need some inspiration?

Becks - Are you at work today? If so have a good one.

Alfie - big hugs
