Actually the Captain used to have one without the legs or hood it was red with white sheep on it. A bit like a baby grow vest, he looked very cute indeed. I don't think I'll be buying the boys a onesie though they'll be having a shelter instead to stay snug!Don't think I've ever managed to be a proper grown up :eek: :rotfl:
Worryingly neither have I :rotfl:I'm not sure how I'm going to carry this grown up mse lark off.cazmanian_minx wrote: »Me either - growing old is compulsory, but growing up is optional

I haven't got a cold after all, I've got a horrible cough. The sort of cough that means you can't lie down without convulsing with coughing, spluttering and worse. My ears and chest hurt with the violence of said cough :(I do feel quite rough. Rough enough to not be going to work tomorrow.
Today was a complete write-off I went back to bed for the afternoon and dozed inbetween coughing for a couple of hours. Other than that I've read and drunk loads of water in the hope of flushing whatever it is through the system.:(
Colin is on 24/7 sentry patrol. The house over the path has installed a catflap:eek::eek: No sign of the newbie yet, but Colin is perched on the windowsill [sentry point] ready to report. He has been over to inspect it but it must be locked as he didn't break and enter, I'm guessing that comes later:(Total debt at October 2008: £67,213.30

My hair straighteners died:( They have gone to hair straightener heaven:A I did the research and picked up a new pair for best price and via Quidco, still being a good girl with money! Thought I'd register them for the guarantee online so filled in the form. Why do they insist on having your date of birth? What relevance does my age have to how I will use the hair straighteners? It's a mandatory question and you can't register without an answer. I have no problem with how old I am I just think it's completely irrelevant. I must feel this way because I'm a grumpy old woman :rotfl:
I still have a horrible cough, it's keeping me awake at night as it just comes on for no apparent reason, giving me both earache and a headache through the violent persistenceI popped down to town to buy up the pharmacy and when I went to pay discovered I had left my purse at home :mad: Worse still I had no way of getting out the car park without money. I had to go up to Pr£t to ask one of my ex-colleagues to lend me £1.20
Although I still feel rough I'm going to do the evening shift. My colleague who I swap shifts with is doing both our shifts and I feel really guilty about it. I know I shouldn't and there should be some sort of emergency cover in place, but there isn't. Luckily there isn't much if any cooking involved on a Wednesday night. If I'm lucky I'll only need to pull pints and mind the till. Fingers crossed that's all that will be needed. I will call into a chemist on the way and stock up on cough lozenges and hope my mascara doesn't get coughed off :eek:Total debt at October 2008: £67,213.30

I still have a H0bbs bag and a LKB bag, they were my favourites and I couldn't sell them when I was doing my mass eb@y everything project!
On the savings front I'll actually earn more in a 123 account than in an ISA. However an ISA keeps the money away from my sticky fingers:rotfl:debtfreewannabe321 wrote: »Fab news on the payout :T :j (I hope Mrs PG is reading!!)
