  • newthrift enjoy investing your money wisely! I suppose a Chanel handbag isn't a good investment opportunity?! :p

    vulpix the best way I know of putting a picture on here is to upload it to a website called Photobucket, then all you have to do is click on a link and paste it in here. I would tell you which link to copy but unfortunately I can't login at the moment to check.

    We had a lovely day yesterday, wiggle was amazing and slept most of the time which made it easier to eat our afternoon tea! The only trouble we're having now is his night time sleeping, at one stage he was going 3-4 hours, we even had 6 hours in there once, but now he's gone right back to waking up every 2-2.5 hours, you can set your clock by it. It's been going on for over a week now. I keep reading that they're supposed to go longer as they get older!

    I am doing the Tango hamper for my 13 yearold,I have 9 items at the moment but not some that you have mentioned.Thanks,will try to get myself to my nearest B&M in the next few days.

    in a pound type shop while on holiday i got tango shower gel and liquid handwash. they had it in red orange and green types.
    the shop was called Mr50 but i bet it would be in lots of those type shops. my 14yo Ds loves the shower gel and i wish id got more.

    hope everyone is well

    my very lovely uncle who is not much older than me has been moved into a hospice and wont be with us much longer. TBH it will be a release for him as he is very very poorly now but still incredibly sad.

    Thank you all for your help with photos.Daughter back again tonight for her works Christmas party!!!!!!!! (very busy food pub) so by hook or by crook she will post some pics. :cool: The suspense for these pics is greater than the actual event. I find that it takes me such a long time to learn new things on the computer :o. The kids get really frustrated with me,"Mum,I showed you how to do that before" etc. Son is the most patient with me,that's good news being though he IS a teacher :rotfl:

    Mrs Moneypenny, I did get some tango showergel from 99p shop but they only had orange and red,but that was a while ago.

    So far I have shower gel
    hand wash
    jaffa cakes
    chocolate bar
    foam bath
    Tango tubes (sweets)
    popping candy
    freeze pops
    cans of pop

    I have only bought the orange Tango stuff,looks good all together.

    Wanted to make up a hanging basket and tidy the garden today but its raining,oh dear will have to waste time on the internet :p Vx

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Photogenic I've been Money Tipped!
    On Friday DD and I bought all the Christmas cards for the family except the ones for each other and one for her step-mum. The card factory only had 2 options with step mum on (both not appealing according to DD) and clintons didn't have any. I'll take her back in half term to have another look ;)

    Gift wise, I know what I want to do for people except the kids :rotfl: DD has agreed and is very excited about it, but right now I have nowhere to store anything and still need to buy a few bits for the house so they'll have to wait.
