    Hope DS has a good night, they do know how to make us worry though don't they!

    Hope Mr Lucky is okay too and you're feeling better soon.

    As for the voucher I'd return and re buy them with the voucher ;) Or I'd just find something extra with the voucher :p perfect excuse ;) x

  • I had no idea that New Look were having a wobble beanie! Have just googled :eek:. Sale items can only be returned for a credit note or exchange :(.

    DS1 thoroughly enjoyed his museum trip and sleep over! They did loads of interesting things like coding, animal handling, circus skills and spent time in the University planetarium amongst other things. They had to come up with an ‘enterprise’ and DS’s team won the teachers pick (out of 15 teams), meaning he came home with a £10 Luv2shop gift voucher as a prize :T. All that panicking and he had a ball!!

    Lost 7lbs at chub club :j:j. DH lost 8.5lbs. He has to go one (and a half) better :rotfl:.

    Congratulations on the weightloss.... I think I have gained what you've lost :rotfl:

    Great that Ds enjoyed the museum and for the voucher!

    I've been known to forget to use my vouchers when shopping too :( ver few places now give refunds its usually credit note/gift card which doesn't help with the return/rebuying. I am however very pleased you bought yourself SOMETHING! :T

  • Mrs H, you have more than good reason to be gaining weight at the minute! I’m sure you look lovely and glowing :D.

    Today has been a NSD :T. The boys and I haven’t been across the door as I feel completely rotten and they were happy just to have a lazy day with their computers etc. They have also done their homework which they weren’t as happy about :rotfl:. I have a hacking cough and sore throat. My chest feels like someone is standing on it :(.

    DH went out for a coffee with his Mum. I was glad to see the back of him to be honest :o. He told me I whinge ALL THE TIME when I asked him to go back and switch the light off that he’d left on in the kitchen. It seems ridiculous, but I’d just had enough. Firstly, I hardly ever whinge (:cool:) but even if I did it’s not like he would remember, and secondly I’m up and about to look after our children when I’m poorly so that he can see his Mum as she’s feeling lonely, so surely I’m not THAT bad. It’s put me on a real downer and I feel quite fed up.
