    Hi FC, after saying my iPad was behaving itself it started freezing especially when I was typing or using the backspace key. I went into settings--->General---->Keyboard and disabled predictive text andauto correct. We shouldn't have to do this as I would like to be able to use the feature but disabling has stopped my iPad playing silly booogars. Worth a try if you haven't done it already. HTH

    Thank you :A I didn't know this. Saying that, I might have no friends left if I disable auto correct :eek: my typing is terrible sometimes :rotfl::rotfl:

    I have just had the lecture of my life :eek: about cupcakes of all things. I buy DS2 2 chocolate cupcakes every time I go to Ts at a cost of £1.50 for 2 . Today I saw a pack of 4 chocolate cupcakes for £1 so of course I bought them :D he's just ordered me into the kitchen :o:o to tell me......

    'I think you have been duped with these cupcakes. They look like chocolate cupcakes, the packet says they are chocolate cupcakes but look.....when you peel the paper back they are just cake. No chocolate in the cake part, just cake (his face was getting very red by this point) so they're not chocolate cupcakes, are they? Then he said......' I bet they were cheap, weren't they?' :o:o:o

    I tried to claw some sense of me being the parent by asking him why he was peeling back cupcake papers at this time of night :rotfl::rotfl: and his reply was 'what age am I?' '13' I said. He said 'Exactly, old enough to know a suspicious cupcake when I see one' :eek: :rotfl::rotfl:

    I guess 2 cupcakes are worth £1.50 after all. I feel like a naughty child

    You'll not do that again will you?! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I do love your tales of DS2 :T :A

    No it was some kind of strawberry pop tart things, I know i've read about them somewhere.

    FC, I really do love your DS2. :T I hope you're still writing that book, I would buy it.

    I didn't want to give duff info on the Udi things as I haven't done them but I *think* if they are reduced to £1 in your store, you pay £1 and APG thinks you have paid £2.95 agains 99p/£1 at Ts.
    I only do online muggle shopping :o

    Thats them FC..... I knew it was some weird name. :rotfl:
    Will prob do a quick grab and dash in morning vT's and look for them in store whilst i'm there. Lets just hope I can find a nice SA at that time of day to take my £10.50+ APG opps :o

    I'm glad i've been back tonight. I don't get much spare time at the moment, wednesday evening is normally my night out with my sis and our local darts team but we got a week off. Can't believe we'll have a trophy for coming second in our league from the summer season soon. :j

    Been meaning to ask JJ.....did you get any of the Ocean Spray.....thought you might like that glitch....:)

    I didn't get a single one :(.

    Not sure if they were pure juice or 'juice drinks' and didn't get round to checking.

    I've only done one Apg shop since coming back and got stung badly.

    (Spent £19 on 4 fairy gel bottles that didn't work) so I've not yet felt brave enough to give it another whirl.)

    I tried going instore to compare prices for a hd or cc but they all compare to different stores and it made my head hurt.

    I'm still so very far from the old me yet.

    That's correct! I wasn't sure what pop things meant so hesitated to answer.
    10 is the best amount :) even better if you get good substitutes.

    Anyone know how I can keep a mini slug alive til the morning? :eek:

    Bear with me :o

    DS found a teeny tiny slug 2 days ago on a piece of wood and carried it around all afternoon...he called it sluggy :)...he took it outside in the garden at my behest and left it out there

    Cue 2am wake up in tears pleading me to get sluggy in from outside :eek: Er wtaf, no :eek:

    Well a teeny tiny slug that looks just like sluggy is now making its way across the kitchen floor...

    What shall I keep it in so DS will see that sluggy made his way back to him tomorrow morning?

    I cannot believe I am actually asking this but hey ho :o
