    BILLIE enjoy your holiday my love. You deserve it and I shall be tres jealous!! Would love pics!! :D

    Peaty have just *faints* spent more. But on the same clothes I bought earlier, just with 7% cashback, and in different sizes/colours as there is a better choice online. will take the rest back Tuesday morning if Jelly is going to nursery, but not looking good on that front. I love JB's. Please tell me they are aware women have boobs though and that isn't your issue. I know a lot of their clothes are long and that I am all good with, but I have to get the next size up in a shirt I bought today simply because I can't do a button up over my boobs and they are rather an eyeful!!! :eek:

    Him was indeed lovely to pop in and perked me right up. That and the 1kg bar of chocolate. :rotfl:

    Cuppa tea. Some chocolate, my receipts, YNAb, and a calculator. I am happy :) xxx

    teapot & GP - I have not found any in My Mr A's the last two times of going in there! They were in a brown and white packaging, little pink and white ones. Animal gelatine free. In the baking section, in the middle of the aisle with hot chocolate and other chocolatey items. But have just been online, where I had ordered them before, and like half of my basket, they have a big yellow 'Not Available' next to them on my favourites :(



    Love to all :D a much cheered Lilty. :D xx


    Thanks GP & Lilty the search continues, we have a local Asd@ which was where I was looking and in the baking section but no joy. I'll keep a look out though.


    Glad you are feeling cheerier L and good on HIM for coming by with chocolate and cheer :cool:

    Glad you like the cushions Lilty :)
    and sounds like you've had a well deserved mini shopping spree. Good on you girl, you have more than earned it.

    Sorry your Mum wasn't too chatty with you yesterday. I get that quite a bit from my Mum too when I phone her in the evenings and it does upset me at times, then I try to remember that it's likely she's been in pain all day and is tired from not sleeping. Sounds like your Mum was distracted too and she's obviously stressed about your grandparents situation. Maybe give her a ring in a day or two and catch up for a lovely chat together?

    Hope Jelly is feeling better now, she really has had a run of it poor thing. There's a lot of conjunctivitis going round near us at the moment too.

    Nice to hear Him spoilt you and His impromptu visit cheered you up yesterday too. :)

    And glad to hear you haven't settled for 2nd best on the furniture, make sure you find something just perfect :)

    Me, on the other hand, has been looking at lovely chairs online since Friday and have convinced myself I need to replace my dining chairs with some lovely (repro :o) design classics. I blame (and thank!) you! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Well done for taking the plunge and buying some new clothes for yourself, as most mothers - i think we forget about ourselves and buy for our kids!

    Im abit the same as you, haven't had any "spare" money to buy things that when we do, we feel guilty - terrible but well done x

    So,
    Have only been away for the weekend and I come back to ....50+posts? How is one supposed to ever catch up?:p


    :T:T:T Congratulations On being the New Mature and Better Valued Lilty - long overdue and no one deserves it more.:T:T


    So glad your Mother' Day ended on a high with Him surpassing himself and bringing chocolate:j


    Sorry you didn't have the conversation you wanted with your mum, am sure she was just tired and stressed from everything, and am sure she appreciates you calling anyway, you're a wonderful daughter and a amazing mum.
    My DD/DS wrote " We have the best days... with you" in my handmade card yesterday, and I'm sure you Mum and Jelly both think the same of you:)


    So glad you spent some of your bonus on you:T:T


    LOL (as in lots of love;))

    I must have those cushions, i want i want i want!!!:j

    Glad Him cheered you up and hope Jelly is feeling better. Dude still isnt himself either. Must be something going round.

    I also really like Joe Browns and had to stop myself buying some things the other day.... and then had to stop myself misery shopping online at Soho! :(

    Once these cards are gone I swear I'm gonna have a couple of months saving the payments in my account and then go splurge on a new wardrobe, (in reality I will sit quivering at my pc adding and removing items from my basket until I either buy a £2 pair of socks or nothing at all)

    Slab of easter choc sounds like my idea of yum. Dude would probably just try and steal it though and then smear it over lovely cushions!

    Also since I haven't been around, well done on your review, bonus and payrise!! Go Lilt, you rock and don't forget it!!

    Ah, glad the cushions are proving a hit, they were a one-of-a-kind set though I'm afraid! :)

    Someone boot me off the Joe Browns website now... NOW... PLEASE!!!

    oooh, such beautiful dresses, nearly got wowed by them, then I remember I never go anywhere to wear one... hence the 4 with labels on I still have in my wardrobe.

    Ok, what I need now is a 'man available to take me out in a beautiful dress' - are they available online too??? Actually, no, don't answer that, can only imagine the dodginess that would follow!!! !:rotfl:
