    Morning all :wave:

    Missing you guys. Barely got a chance to sit down over the weekend let alone get on the laptop.

    Was meant to be meeting a friend in the next town this morning but didn't fancy dragging the boys out in the wind and rain then keep them quiet in a coffee shop for an hour. So I cancelled and they seem quite happy having a pyjama day :D

    Almost there with the preparations :xmastree:

    To do list for today
    Ice /decorate remaining Christmas cakes
    Wrap last couple of stocking fillers
    Wait for Mr T to deliver my groceries (and pray given the horror stories on their FB page :eek:)
    Fill in forms for tomorrow's occy health appointment (you might guess I couldn't choose the appt time :cool:)
    ♥ Worrying does not empty tomorrow of it's troubles.... it empties today of it's strength ♥

    Walking postie been I opened door and grabbed him :eek: he says parcels should be here in next hour if they on van. :T

    Must stop thinking I could have been Mr T's and been home before postie came.

    It suddenly went dark and is now throwing it down and the winds got up :(.

    Freebie today phial of Valentino perfume from 'what's in my handbag' came in a lovely small black box. Smells nice :D

    Hi Peeps


    FYI 4 x Tosco Finest still compares to Sada but only giving £3 PriceCheck BUT the good news is that it's comparing favourably to Sainsburys, so instead of £13.90 capped at £10 you'll get £10 :D as compares as £39.96 vs £29.96 :D

    Is it a Babyliss Big Hair? If so there's a 3 year guarantee with it, you send it off to them and they will send you a replacement.

    My first one went after 6 months and they replaced it, then that one went after about a year, so they've replaced that one too. They also refunded my postage both times (I had to ask for it:money:).

    My friend's BBH died and she didn't have her receipt, but they still replaced it (they used the serial number instead).
  • Morning all.
    Hope everyone is ok.

    I'm off to brave T's today with a friend. I'm leaving the hubby at home as I can't be bothered to put up with his moaning and I'm just taking his card instead :D


    Can anyone tell me why I thought it would be a good idea to plait my hair when I got out the shower last night? I've woken this morning undone them and I now look like a frizzy poodle :eek: :rotfl:
