    Your self-control must be admirable.... :rotfl:

    I wouldn't have coped. At all.

    Not sure if there was much self-control... but the garden was well fertilised!

    What is worse is that we had one child...:eek::eek: and another one arrived before he had a loo. Then again when I brought DS2 home from hospital, I lay in bed thinking I can see the f*ing stars, when I brought DS3 home I could still see the same stars but at least we had a loo (and a washing machine by this time!) x

    So, if you do an A C&C order tonight for collection tomorrow, does it just check bank for the £1 holding charge or does it look for the whole amount? I have funds tomorrow so wondered if I could do an order tonight to collect tomorrow, but if it earmarks the whole amount, I can't :(

    I don't know, sorry. :(
