    I find those by a very useful, mostly keep them in my bike bag so if I buy anything big and it's raining I can still fasten it to the back, also useful for storage of stocking presents. If they will put things through the letter box when asked not to then I shall take it as a gift.

    Had a go at someone once, we are in a no cold callers area, you can find out online where they are and you were meant to avoid them, had a team of charity collectors around trying to get us to sign up for Direct debits, I pointed out that it was a no cold callers area and they had the cheek to say it didn't apply to charities:eek: If I want to give to a charity it will be of my choosing and not by direct debit, and if they try to pressure me, as these were, they will be the LAST one i consider.

    I agree entirely. I give regularly to charity by DD and have my chosen charity shop. I never fill those little bags. You!!!8217;ve found a good use for them - then they can be bin liners afterwards!

    Good morning everyone.

    What!!!8217;s this funny code? Can!!!8217;t remove it. Am editing on iPhone. :(

    You don't fancy a job tomorrow do you Picasso? :rotfl:

    I spent most of the day stashing, was in the upstairs glory hole and I mean "in" and the stuff I had left piled on the left side of me actually fell down on to me and outside the cupboard. Was bit difficult backing out of the cupboard. :eek:

    I have put loads away finding homes for all the new stuff after quite a few games of tetris but you wouldn't think so. :o Round 2 tomorrow....

    So easy to create a glory hole. I’ve promised myself the loft won’t become that. We shall see! There’s a pile to be sorted in the garage and it has been there months!

    If you fancy playing with wine bottles, there are tutorials on the web showing you how to cut them like that.
    Thanks I've bought them as presents. I prefer tea lights to big candles tbh. I love my Yankee wax melt burner. Was it on here someone posted about the coco madmoiselle wax melts? The house smells amazing. I got Dd Alien by Thierry Muggler ones for Christmas too.

She said I've just bought these cheap ones for now....they were £2.99 I got 27 andrex ones for that price last year....if only she had listened. :rotfl:

    So simple. Love it.

    I know you are meant to spend a lot of time thinking about what you want and where (like my first one) But this symbol didn't need any thinking about. Couple of months ago I had something dragged up from my past for a follow up. Don't have the results yet, but no news is good news. Ultimately though, its how I feel about it that matters more than the results :cool:

    Morning elite :)

    Scan was fine yesterday so I can now start making plans for baby number 2. Was lush telling dd, she’s definitely sensed something strange going on with mummy but with no idea what. She said ‘I’m going to love the baby all day’ aw

    I like doing story time but don’t always get to do it. With dh’s shifts and us needing to ferry him about, routine is all over the shop :( we nearly had it sorted by swapping shifts about and then his boss messed about with the rota to ensure that there was no routine again :mad:

    Oh good....we might never ever be spammed again:)

    And what's this about tattoos .......

    Do we all have to have one?

    I think a barcode might be quite fitting:rotfl:

    Yeah, you have to have a symbol of you allegiance to the elite.... If you feel a barcode is appropriate.........:D
