Has anyone managed to get this to work this morning? It just keeps popping up with random words for me and nothing else. Wondering if they've fixed it so it has to be a paper version or if I'm just doing it wrong!

Funnily enough I fetched one of these home from Chester with me yesterday and funnily enough I didn t win

If you have Amazon prime you can buy a £75 gift card with a free Christmas teddy for £75 if not prime they are £100. It's a win win situation though isn t it as just add the gift card back on your account when you receive it

Good Morning all

Not yet, no. DH was going to order one last night but couldn't decide what type. We're unsure whether to get a single bed or a small double, as a single would give more floor space but might make it seem like it's not possible to fit a bigger bed, whereas a small double would be nicer for guests and give us more storage underneath, but less floor space.

I think we'll get a small double as it will then be of use when we move to a bigger house, but we've been to-ing and fro-ing over it for days. We want a divan so we can use the drawers, but what with me being currently between jobs, we also don't want to go crazy with expenditure. We have JL vouchers to use up from our wedding but the prices are about £100 or so higher than elsewhere, which defeats the point somewhat! :eek:

I would go for a small double , single beds are a bit restricted I think. Also double bed sheets fit , there s no need to buy specialised bedding. If it was me I wouldn t use the JL vouchers if it's that much dearer. You could buy a pine on and just have drawers or nice boxes underneath. Just my view of course.:)

It's worth checking out the T toy aisle. Lots of RTCs and 342

Rhos, hugs to you. Such lovely news of a new grandchild, it must be hard to go from a high to a low.

Still feeling battered from a tooth removed this week. Really didn't expect to be knocked back for so long.

Email from sainsbobs inviting me to do 3 surveys for 600 nectar points. Click to go and they say they already have enough responses.

Itdoes take it out of you doesn t it. Don't know aboutyou but I find things are harder to get over nowadays now I'm getting on a bit lol.

Have you thought of a day bed or a bed-settee? Just that it means the room is more useful when you don't have guests staying.

Morning all...

The telegraph tomorrow has a voucher for a small free l'ocitaine gift box


http://www.telegraph.co.uk/12213940/loccitane.html?WT.mc_id=e_DM243785&WT.tsrc=email&etype=Pro_Prm_New_161201_16451EMR&utm_source=email&utm_medium=Pro_Prm_New_161201_16451EMR_2016_12_01&utm_campaign=DM243785

This is a freeky coincidence. This morning I was clearing the odds and sods off the dresser at the end of the bed which included a Loccataine bag with a previous identical set of travel freebies box fromThe Telegraph inside. I tried to put the box into the drawers but then I found 2 more boxes and no room in the drawers
Really the logical thing now is to separate the boxes up and free up space - soap in the underwear drawer, fancy shower gels in the bathroom, hand moisturiser in its draw

This is why I have put myself in a semi permeate ban from buying toiletries

I'd be quite happy to go for a second-hand pine bed, there's usually plenty on our FB selling page, but DH doesn't want boxes underneath collecting dust (and there's a lot of it in this house :rotfl:) or being visible to guests. Just finished preparing the first wall so we're ready to paper. I love seeing it transform from building site to finished article, need to do some before and after photos so I remember how it used to look!
