    Hi emerald, hope Riley's ok. There are so many different types of wild mushrooms etc and after a quick google I think they look like they could be these

    If so they are they are edible so should be harmless. Obviously I can't be sure what do you think?


    Matt sent a pic to one of his friends and he reckoned they aren t poisonous but not edible . If that makes sense. The was a pregnant woman bleeding there waiting . Ridiculous

    I agree - nobody, especially a child, should have to wait very long to be seen if they have swallowed what could be a poisonous substance. With something like that its possible that urgent treatment is going to be needed.

    Well didn't manage to cut my grass as it rained :mad: But my Amazon order turned up with my 9 bottles of Bayliss and Harding Showers Gels for 50p thanks to karliee for popping into tell us.:)

    Well done Sarah got a power washer and sort of posh shower gel to shift all that mud waiting for you here :rotfl:

    Gosh a 6 hr wait at A&E is no joke - hope the little man is ok.

    Oh, I read it as they need to wait 6 hours to see if there is any adverse effects.

    Could someone please tell me which hairspray is included in the Boots deal, I have 3 in my basket but the price is £6. Thanks :)
    I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it. :)

    Interesting - I will be watching your progress with this.

    I am wondering which if any of the HE listed hotels are near Southampton parkway (within 10 mins walking distance) as we generally use the train when we go down to Southampton - wreck less thrill seekers :)

    I've been trying to book a Saturday in October but all of usual Southampton hotels are coming at OMG prices - looking at at least £100 and usually it's between £29 and £39. I did wonder about going further out but that has not helped much. I feel like I should at least book something which I can cancel and then hope I can find something cheaper closer to time

    So holiday Expert experts I have to find a flight on the same day, check the holiday express website for best flexible rate, do a screen shot and save the URL - is this correct? At the same time use HE and book the dearer rate with cancellation??.

    No mention of breakfasts though - just room rates ??.
