dawn I'm another who would 2nd a pottete. Probably the best baby item I've bought. Plus it doubles as a loo seat if you go somewhat with a toilet so a) you don't have to hold her and b) in case it's not up to your hygiene standards
don't worry about not getting it open quick enough, if you out a liner in advance you'll be fine. I was actually on my second child before I realised it 'clicked' in to place and my eldest never fell off :rotfl:
Hope those results were what you wanted CCL0 -
Worked.

Annoyingly have to refund an item on ebay as it no longer works. Its a difficult one. It worked when we sold it but it is quite old and if the buyer is saying it doesnt now then I guess I have to go with that.
Anyway happy bank holiday weekend all.

Morning all
Happy Anniversary Legomum
Congrats on reaching your holiday savings target Ally
Today I have/ will:
Dog walks x 2 (1 down, 1 to go)
Do a wash and dry on line
Package 2 ebay items (3 if the third buyer pays up :mad:) and take to post office. May leave this till the afternoon, in case third buyer pays. Otherwise that will have to wait till after the BH. Not sure how people can buy something on fixed price without paying straight away, I can't say I have ever noticed that option!
Make the chilli I didn't do last night. Incorporate lots of bits from the fridge!
Water all the garden pots, as we are going away for a couple of days tomorrow
Finalise the list of what I need to buy food wise to take with us (won't be much, but some BBQ bits would be nice. I have been running down the freezers, to store the maximum amount of our HG veg and fruit, so I don't have much other stuff in stock and tend to have to buy as and when atm.)
Sort camping stuff that we need to take
Well, it doesn't look much, but will keep me busy! Hope you all have a good day0 -
Morning all
Sorry I didn't get back on yesterday. The weekly threat appeals to the lazy, procrastinating part of me because I think I can always come back on tomorrow
Ally, pleased that the holiday fund is complete :j
Thanks to all that asked about the exam results. I am thrilled to report that they did even better than expected. My chemistry class all got A*-C and 2/3 of them got an A/A* grade so I am a very happy bunny indeed. As a school we got our best ever results, which seems to fly in the face of the trend. I just hope that the pressure comes off us a bit once we're back in September (although I won't hold my breath).
Today's list:check banking and PAD
freezer diving for meals
aim for nsd
minimal housework
ds to football
dd to cheerleading
washing done and drying on line.
Have a good day!Not giving up
Working hard to pay off my debt
Time to take back control
