    For you Dani:D

    Just remembering that I have a load of these figures somewhere. They were bought for DD and DS when they were tiny. Wedgewood or Royal Doulton something like that.

    And I haven't a clue where they are now:think::think:

    A lot of pages since last night - the elite certainly now how to chat. Tweets - sorry you have the bug. Nhs website says 48 hours after the last outbreak before returning to work. You can sit and chat with the elite all day!
    Elley - I too struggle with buying things in sainsburys as they are so expensive. I think it would be a good idea if the elite made a list of good buys for the nectar promotion. With a guarantee of 10pc back in points this seem a good buy to me, paye £10 phone credit, cow and gate formula milk £9.00 (other formula milk as well) as this is the same price everywhere and milk to make up shops. Other than these I am struggling. I am lucky as I have an employers rewards scheme offering 5pc off sainsbury so this makes it 15pc.
    Hope bubbs is enjoying her new car.
    Savvy sal - I think I have the same kitchen flooring as you - is it from b and q except mine usually has crumbs all over it!

    Enjoying the peace and spending the whole week trying to convince myself not to hand my notice in at work :rotfl:
    Heart says I should just quit as I'm really not liking my job. Head says I probably should concentrate on paying the bills and keeping a roof over our heads :D

    ooh.... hard question. It depends on how much you hate the job and what you have to loose financially... use the week to get some applications in x

    I think there should be a thread for people who want to sound off about elderly parents. I once Googled 'I want to kill my Mum' and to my horror discovered sites which took that rather literally!!

    Tempting!

    My nickname at school was Kitkat. Anyone else going to admit to having a nickname? Oh my current one is "Scottish" I'm not even Scottish :rotfl::rotfl:
    Something unexpected happened which made me smile and still continues to make me smile.

    wow! super mouse. horrible things. never heard of a sticky trap before.:)

    Its like a thick sheet of cardboard with a really sticky loose glue on it. Because it is lying on the floor they don't see them. Very effective.
