    Island_mum you could put some Haribo's golden bears in the party bags.

    You might be lucky and find some of the Lindt golden bears left over from Christmas stock that could also go in.

    I am soooooooooo not used to being at home right now. All those evenings I was at work, thinking of what I could be doing at home. Now I am here, I have no idea what to do and really no inclination to do anything.
    I am lost.

    Ds has just phoned from his bedroom to tell me we are being burgled.
    2 years of reminding him I work evenings, and now 2 more years reminding I don't work evenings, and I am the burglar making the toast.:rotfl:

    OMG There is an Ice Cream Van outside.:eek:
    That did make me laugh. :) My DS loves ice-cream whatever the weather so would be glad to hear the ice cream van lol!

    Sci Fi fan..? Dr Who Stamps coming out... how about a first day pack? Not sure how much they are though.
    Look here ..http://www.thinkgeek.com/ for more ideas. Sometimes you can pick up stuff at Play/Hut that was/is on this site cheaper.
    Ooh thanks I didnt know there was Dr Who stamps coming out, exciting! :j

    Hanley25-Poor you, I had an abscess a few months ago and it was pure torture. I took 2 nurofen express and 2 co-codamol. Try and get an emergency appointment if you can and take a few hours off work as the longer you leave it the worse it will get. :( Hope the pain goes away soon. xxx


    Nanamia-I did go a few years ago (:o) and the doctor thought it was an underactive thyroid but I have a very bad blood test phobia and just cant do it. Cant really talk about it as Ill get myself in a state!
    Hope you have a safe journey and dont forget to take lots of photos. Most of all have an amazing time, Im sure your DGD will be over the moon with her orange goodies and most of all to see her nanny! xxx

    Island_mum-For DS' 1st birthday party I put little chocolate bars in, (possibly buttons) a board book, rattle and few other bits. I split up multipacks of the books and rattles and it was really cheap. What about bath ducks? You could split up packs of those, you can get them in pound shops. Oh and bubbles, chunky crayons and a colouring book. Also might be worth looking out for little cuddly toys left over after valentines etc in supermarkets, I often get themn for about 30p. x
    P.S There's teddy bears picnic party boxes on ebay plus cake toppers, plates, stickers etc and things like garlands on ebay. x

    My diet doesn't start until February and I've been wearing mine since Christmas :D I am always bottom of the leaderboard :rotfl:


    There's a leaderboard?

    I put mine on for the first time today - it's great. I love the dashboard, all those graphs suit me well for motivation :D I found myself actually trying to be more active and I counted clories as well so I could log everything. I'm glad I spent the money now :T
