    i work for the out of hours emergency doctors so evenings and weekends for me :D can't sit around in dressing gown tho as 3 boys to get ready for school

    I have three cats, no kids - however the stripey one did wake us up at 7:30 today. They don't care what I wear and happier that I stay in the house tending to their every whim.

    By whim I do not mean the foul looking self cleaning litter tray (ugh)

    I wanted the game but was so busy reading reviews, i missed it; must have been claimed instantly....So difficult to find decent new board games

    I've just bought the game and I was on the wait list so you may get it yet.

    Just got offered the board game and I was #210 on the list so it's worth joining and staying close to your computer.

    It's going to go into our christmas eve hamper-looking forward to playing it.

    What do you all do for a living that lets you sit around in your dressing gowns at lunchtime?!

    I'm at work :( office job, 37 hours a week, boo.

    I'm a stay at home mum, so a full time job but both of my little ones are having their lunchtime naps :D

    OH left me at home with the credit card this week; and I've done so well.. So far only bought the UDraw tablets for the PS3 (one for us and one for sis in law for Xmas)
    I wanted the waterproof jacket but whilst I was debating it sold out, now 54th in the list...
    I am after the watch later tonight though, and possibly a camera..
