    Thanks for the warm welcome. It seems like you're a sympathetic bunch so i'll throw some of my woes your way in the hope of a little cyber pampering :)
    Recently resigned from teaching post to look after my two boys aged 9 months and 21 months. Youngest was born with a cleft lip and palate and had his palate repair 3 weeks ago today. Since then I've had two trips to hospital with gallbladder problems, a cancelled operation and much needed cancelled holiday to florida.
    I like to look on the bright side though, no florida means I can start getting SUPER excited about xmas!! :o) i must update hot uk deals and grabbit forum 3 or 4 times a day for new deals that will save a few chrimbo pennies!!

    Aww PATEROO i hope youngest is healing nicely, and i sympathise with you on gall bladder pain, i suffered about 2 years was about to have an op then i visited chiropractor with DD2 he was a lovely old man and noticed i was in pain, he put me on the couch and put this sucker machine on me round my gall bladder and hand on heart i never suffered again to this day i dont know what it did but wow it worked

    I'm on the 'urgent' list to have it removed. Desperately need it sorting as it's a nightmare trying to arrange for the kids to be looked after at short notice if I have an attack.
    Lol, have you really got a stag above your fire place?? x

    Hi All
    I'm super pleased with myself this week., I've brought my christmas magazine so will have a browse of that tomorrow with a cuppa and I've just blitzed half my christmas shopping on the v£ry website! Had a £25 off voucher for my first order... I bought a yankee candle Winter Wonderland set (well actually I bought 2 as gifts!)which has 2 small jars with a Santa hat for £9 instead of £19!w00p!

    THANKYOU AGAIN EVERYONE FOR THE LOVELY BIRTHDAY WISHES :) DD2 came over tonight and yayy i have finally got my own stag albeit it being about 2ft smaller than what i thought it would be, (i told her which one i would like) so i cant put it over the fireplace it looks ridiculous, some lilies and a bottle of baileys mmm
    NANAMIA i still cant get over the cake thankyou so much, have you been very busy again or do i have to nag :)
    MSGIGGLEWICK oh poor you i hope you feel better soon
    CUPOFCHAI oh how annoying isnt it always the way when you save for something and they put up silly t&cs to ruin it
    PUMPKIN hello and welcome
    FEISTY good news about the credit card and getting the keys to workshop, im so sorry to hear of the attacks, do they happen when you are really stressed? Try and take it easy my lovely
    OMO good for your friend, hope you both have a fab day out tomorrow
    ALJA thanks for the tip re superdrug
    PATEROO you are in the perfect place now then

    I have often wondered if it is stress related, but all my efforts to take it easy don't seem to have an effect :rotfl:

    Freespirit, do you have a range near you? I have this frame in 16" x 20" (but black) and it was only £8.99 - It is beautiful and think your stag would look amazing - it comes in smaller sizes too!

    Morning, thought I'd check in, it was one a week since I was last on, but so many pages, it's lovely seeing the thread so busy.

    Happy belated birthday Freespirit xx

    I have changed my signature Peppapig:D I gave up SW a while ago, I did lose a stone though. Still do it off and on.

    Goodluck with your shop Fiesty, I'm following you on your FB page and can't wait to hear how you get on. X

    My page is still super busy with the Christmas signs and fireplaces, so far I have done over 30 Christmas signs since July lol. Good job I love Christmas so much.

    I am waiting to here back from 4 different jobs I have applied for. I'm looking for something part time so I can still work from home the other days. X
