    :j:j oooo how exciting :D you sound just like my dad :rotfl: he was desperate for a son and ended up with 3 girls, so when I fell pregnant and we found out it would be ds he went mad :rotfl:, then my sister obliged with another dgs for him :D. We were good though and both had a dgd for our mum after, we're considerate like that ;) shame my dd is such a tomboy though, mum never did get to buy the pretty dresses for her :rotfl: for some reason she blames me :D:D

    I bet your dad was happy - someone to watch the footie with!! After a trunk full of Barbie dolls dressed in bright pink (admittedly, Ken also made a casual appearance on occasion), I am itching to get some real toys. My poor youger brother still has teethmarks on his forehead from where I bit him when we were young kids because he would not let me play with his train set :mad: so I suppose I was always more partial to boys toys. They are so much more exciting.

    My middle DD lives in a top-floor apartment with a huge balcony and I told her that we will have to invest in a baby gate so that the boys cannot get onto the veranda and abseil down the side of the building whilst we have our backs turned :D!!

    Still shopping and NOT potting, sorryyyyyyy! Priorities, priorities .......... I promise to be better next week.

    Thanks Sue-UU and rosyq for the good wishes.

    Happy saving all,

  • Does it replace everything ie no softener/conditioner anything at all?

    Yes, It replaces everything :D Ive got the bobbly drier balls in my tumble drier though, as that softens things up a bit and cuts down drying time

  • Had a quiet couple of days. I potted £5 on Monday after a friend paid me back £5.00 for some Internet purchases I did for her. Only potted 6p today as I'm off shopping tomorrow and need to keep some change for the car park - I use a cheaper one and walk into town. The exercise does me good and I save on parking charges!! Will be a "lady who lunches" but will add more to pot to make up for it!!
