    Morning all,
    Looks like a lot of you are going to be celebrating this weekend - I would too, but it looks like I've been nominated for virtual babysitting!! How are the girls today Jet?

    I've not spent all week and sold a few things on ebay so so far so good, but as said it is not over yet!!
    Thank Crunchie it's Friday,
    Have a good one you all.
    Greetings to Queen Mum.

    Morning all!!

    I had far to much vodka last night (ooops!!) 3 of my friends came round with vodka and I didn't get to bed til gone midnight (I can't handle going to bed past 10!!)

    Totally forgot to tell Pippo how the kids are getting on at school - DD1's in Year 1 and has come on in leaps and bounds with her reading and writing. We read a couple of books together every night but I want to do more maths and writing with her (she's got fab hand writing). DD2's at nursery and had just learnt how to write her name. She starts school full time in Sept!! (already!!) She's doing great colouring in the lines now and can count up to 29 before getting stuck!!

    Thank you for listening!!

    Luv Jxx

    Hi Jet, yes that was spooky,
    Please to hear about the girls, I think reading is so important.
    They sound as bright as buttons to me.
    Don't know about the thanks button, thought I just didn't see it 'cos it was my own post & can't thank myself!

    Go get ready for nursery & school.
    Also spooky that you drink the evil vodka too!

    Vodka eeeeuuuugh - heads throbbing and about to fall off!!

    I'm going to walk kids to school today (good half hour walk) coz I like spending that extra time with them and of course it will save petrol!!

    They are up dressed fed washed and teeth cleaned and I'm in my pj's with vodka breath!!

    Off to the shower for me!!

    Surely when you return the clothes, they will deduct the £6 voucher from your refund or are you going to be really dodgy and take them back to exchange for a credit note to use against shopping?


    Morning all, morning marm (curtesy!!)

    Kaz - no, just ask for a refund and they give you back ALL you're money - how fab is that? :T Have "earned" £18 so far this month doing this - sshhh but dont tell anyone as they might just stop it and start taking off the £6 also.

    Happy "belated" birthday PP for yesterday - hope you had a good one.

    Well done for all your effort on doing the essay sf - as Queenie isnt here at the moment I will start her hugs for you ...... so here goes .......:grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug:

    That's 28 of them - only 1380 to go :rotfl: :rotfl:
