    Hope you get things sorted quickly Nanny. A bit of time in the garden is always a good stress reliever :)

    rhosynbach, I had to have a little giggle at your son soaking the little brat :D
    We are quite old fashioned I suppose in our parenting. DH is worse than me for being strict. I pick my battles and try reasoning a bit more but he will never give in :rotfl:
    Did cause a few issues whilst we were away with the mother and MIL last week as MIL said he was too hard on them.
    On the plus side we can happily take them anywhere and they are complimented on their behaviour and manners :)



    I am resting up at the moment :D Decided to put off my big Ts trip until after nap time as small one getting grumpy. Not worth the hassle. We had a little walk to Spar instead to wear him out properly and I'll put him down in a minute. Then I'll have chance to plan my shop better whilst he sleeps :)
    You're right, H is two next month :eek: Where has that time gone? It doesn't seem like 5 minutes ago we were having sweepstakes on here over when he and tigercub would arrive.

    good for you on being strict. I am also strict. Tigercub got introduced to the naughty step 3 months ago :D Yep, they're growing fast. At least they both still take naps in the day, I'm not looking forward to tigercub dropping that one. Hope I've still got a year left of them :rotfl:

    Off to post office then T. Then dentist appt at 2pm:eek: I need work doing on a tooth, its very sensitive and already has a filling in. I know it's going to be painful:o boo hoo...
    later x
    Tiger :cool:
    I'm a body double for Claudia Schiffer and i wont get out of bed for less than [STRIKE]£10k per day[/STRIKE] a 1p find

    glad that you are resting. cant beleive your little one is 2 next month it really does not seem that long ago at all , when you and tiger were expecting :D
    your kids sound a pleasure, i think its ok if they are a bit naughty at home as thats just kids, but it shows good parents how they behave when you are out and about, and you and oh are obviously doing something right if others are complimenting you on them :D

    Are you on FB Snap? Maybe get a few friends to share it around for you? Good luck :A

    Unfortunately as the woman who abandoned Phyllis is on FB & her 10,000 relatives I can't put any details on there

    Today is calm as I have all doors open - the attacks on Dilys happen in the evening - I'm not holding much hope that she will be gone today - I'll just have to upset cat sitter with the news that Phyllis is still here :o

    Off to South Wales tomorrow for the funeral & hoping to be back by Thursday :)

    Morning all. didn't get chance to catch up yesterday, i just lurked... and saw dipdap too :T


    I saw your post Logie (and the 50 hour week!), good nothing showed up on your barium swallow. Try to rest up where possible though.. Isn't it coming up to little H's 2nd birthday in July?


    howdy. press 1 to talk to an operator, press 2 to swear at us. :p

    Got through to them after nearly 30 mins. Glad to see they haven't wasted any tax payers money on changing their hold music :rotfl:

    Was lovely to see you yesterday and to meet your friend too :)
    Chatting about all sorts of random stuff and 'admiring' the skills of your chippy gave me a real boost :D
    Me and the kids had a lovely time :)
    I will pick up that bike next month I promise :D

    OMG - Emmi Caffee is only 67p :eek:

    We were obsessed with it when we had the MOCs so would gladly pay 32p with a coupon :T

    Time to write a Tesco list :D

    Emmi Coffee is 67p in T - catch up Aau1:p:rotfl:- I think they (there are at least two different ones of them) can be used as fillers vs A as they don't stock it but need to check that - so maybe 1 (or 2) to the 10 - I've had them on my Svs T shopping before - these did go down to 50p low so factor that in - perhaps read your coupon as being in effect worth 17p less than what it says it is:rotfl:.

    Oh - good afternoon again:) - I was logging in to try and complete my £5 off £20 online health & beauty post but saw this in the meantime and got 'drawn in':D to replying!:T:rotfl:

    [Edit: No, there's at least [I]five[/I] different Emmis - and all on 67p each. But I wouldn't encourage anyone paying that much for them all and remember loss of 17p x5 = 85p more money to T:(.]

    Interesting email from natwest. Interest rate for their ISA's going down in August from 1% to 0.75% :eek::eek::eek: How much lower can they go. Good job I dont have an ISA with them

    Ditch and switch!

    Current easy access ISA paying 1.5%...better than 0.75%.
