You couldn't walk let alone dance on a moving ship in those:eek:
Yes TM I am seeing alot of dgd lately what with birthdays plus my granny sitting services and have totally fallen in love with this fully functioning little person. Was always in love with her obviously but she makes so much more sense now, listens nicely and very clever. OK granny is biased but just turned 3 can pick up a menu without pictures and point to what she wants to order and tell us what it is. Bit freaky at times. Oh and grannies plaits rock:j Didn't get to see dgs this time as d's was busy but will make it up to him next visit.
Very tiring and sore from my fall still.
My 4 parcels from today only contain one item I like so rest will be going back. See what amazon deliver tomorrow. I don't really need anything for holiday except sparkly evening shoes and diamontes flip flops it's just having trouble finding what I want and I don't do shopping:o

I have not sold on zeek but have bought several vouchers. Tells you if E voucher or actual on. They keep tempting me with £5 off and vouchers were cheaper than some weeks this week. Great for Costa and Starbucks credit. I also got a good deal on a large amount of jl vouchers which I am buying up ready for new house.
Very easy to use site too.
Was going to post a photo tonight but on wrong device. My son put up a picture of several bi folding doors he had made and fitted (must be huge extension). Very proud mummy moment. Maybe tomorrow when I hop to be waving my phone from side to side in practice. ( only little t will understand that one so will explain if successful tomorrow.

Any ideas what the best Sky TV deal ever is going to be referred to in Martin's Twitter feed on the right
> ?

WINNER: Cheapest line, broadband & 'all-in' TV (incl sports & movies)
- Full Sky TV incl sports & movies, SAVE £60+/mth over standard price
- Deal 1: Line, TV & unlimited b'band (12mth contract) - equiv £35/mth
- Deal 2: Line, TV & fibre b'band (25GB/mth limit). ADD £30 one-off fee
- Deal 3: Line, TV & unlimited fibre b'band. ADD £30 fee + £10/mth
These stonking 12mth contract Sky special deals are avail to 93% of the UK, 80% for fibre, (check if you can get 'em). Sadly, you need to be a new Sky customer, ie, haven't had its services for 12mths. There are ONLY 15,000+ codes so go quick. Existing Sky customer? Cut costs with Sky haggle tricks.
- Deal 1: Pay its £16.40/mth line rent & get 'free' unlimited up-to-17Mb b'band. No calls included, there's a £10 set-up fee and the 'free' router has £6.95 p&p.
- Deals 2 & 3: For info on the broadband & price see superfast below.
- All deals have the 'all-in' Sky TV for £17.25/mth. Comprising a free Sky+ HD box, free Family bundle & Sky Go Extra, and half-price Sky Sports & Movies. For HD Sports & Movies, add £5.25/mth. Premium non-Sky channels, eg, BT Sport or MUTV (why'd anyone want that? #MCFC) & pay-per-view aren't included.
Add all that in (except HD) and it's £420.75/yr, equiv of £35.06/mth over the contract. For a new line (incl switching from cable) there's a £20 fee.
How does it compare? On the 12mth Deal 1 contract you'd pay equiv £35/mth with this compared to £102 at Sky's standard price - that's a saving of £800/year. Even the next best Sky deal we can find is equiv £69/mth for the same channels - though you can get cheaper if you just want basic TV.
While it's difficult to compare, the cheapest near equivalent we can find via Virgin/BT/TalkTalk is £70+/mth (plus you get a £100 Love2Shop voucher). See Digital TV deals.0 -

A saving - on what? Free TV with Freeview???
Alternatively why not do as Martin is so fond of telling us all, cut your sky down, do you really need all those channels? - ditch Sky, use freeview channels and go for a good broadband deal.
If you do get this then cancel it all at 11months and drive a VERY hard bargain, preferably suffering up to a month of NO Sky. (Now TV box or on computer for a month possibly free of charge with TCB if u can't live without it)We took Sky because we had an old aerial & can't get a good freeview signal, not many channels. I've never paid sky over £8 a month and have had years of totally FREE Sky channels. At the moment we have sky family & boxsets +HD but in the past have had years of this + movies & sport for free.
I suspect they want you to get suckered into phone & broadband so you feel you cannot change easily. Hmmmm0 -
