    Good evening. Watching Harry Potter here. You wouldn't think we had all the DVDs and had the films on my movie app. :rotfl:

    I bought Fingers a Silver Cross 3D stroller today off FB for £20. I can now put his pram up for sale on there.
    But the stroller was minging. It didn't look too bad in the picture. But in real life it was dirty and smelled like an old cupboard that hadn't been opened in years.
    It is now been washed, scrubbed and fabreezed to within an inch of its life, and it is actually a really nice stroller.
    But I can't understand why people sell stuff like that. I wipe down everything I sell, or bung it in the washing machine.

    Hope everyone has a good day. See you tomorrow. :D

    princesskitty its def the unknown factor thats most worrying about labour and guess its a bit like reviews everyones more than happy to share the not so great ones

    So true! :o

    Oh freespirit I thought that was a list of everything you had done! I was really impressed! :rotfl: Nevermind, it's always good to have things to do. :D

    OMO I have missed what is wrong with your BFF but i'm sorry to hear about what is happening. It's great to hear you met someone you just clicked with, it's lovely when that happens. It's like someone is tuned into exactly the same frequency as you! I've worked at my work for 5 years now and I know lots of people, however last year I got chatting to a girl in another department and we just clicked. I even invited her to my wedding after not knowing her for very long! I can identify with the Harry Potter films, I have them all on DVD but still end up watching them when they're on TV! Your CV pot is looking very healthy - just shows what you can do when you put your mind to it.

    mrsinvisible I hope you manage to find a good deal for your tyres.

    I'm happy it's Friday today, i'm going on holiday tomorrow with DH, his parents, his brother and his girlfriend. I'm lucky because I get on really well with his family, they are no stress at all and I enjoy going away with him. I wasn't sure if we were going to be going or not as DH's grandad has been in hospital for about 3 months and last weekend they said there is nothing more they can do for him and that he might go any day, so naturally his mum didn't want to go away and neither did DH, but they now seem to think he's going to hang on a while longer yet so his mum has decided to go. We're only going to Louth in Lincolnshire so will only be a couple of hours away if anything does happen. I must get organised tonight though as I haven't done any packing!

    I hope you all have a great Friday and bank holiday weekend. xx

    No worries, I have about 5 bajillion items on my list, which is probably overkill but as I am "selling" camping to OH I want to be prepared for everything :D
