Galant...how are you doing? I keep thinking of you and sending positive vibes.

I've still had no diet coke.

Has anyone seen the book 'the spot on my bum' horrible poems for horrible children by Gez Walsh. I got it from the charity shop today and it is very funny. Just my DSs sense of humour.

I've decided I need to give up exclamation marks. I use them so much...oops nearly used one then xx

Any advice, I've heard Stardrops mentioned-what's that?

I want to fly, but I need to save money too !! :money:

Good evening ladies!
This time I did manage to get the ironing finished and stuck another load of washing on (now hanging up on the drying rack). Amazing what I can achieve when there's nothing on the television!
Have also stuck the DW on with cup of vinegar as it seemed to have developed a smell all of it's own. The old me would have gone and bought a freshener from Sainsburys (see I am learning!!)
DD2 has just woken up slightly damp - so have changed her. DH was very impressed as I've stopped buying the pampers bed mats and have made my own with a cut up black sack under an old towel under the sheet. He did ask whether I had learned that off here!!

Mudbath - I'll join you in a glass if you have one to hand. I can bring nibbles if you would like some!

" but Mudbath!!!!!!!!!" Pigpen exclaimed!!! "one cannot cease to use exclamation marks.. !!!!!! It is simply too boring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Have a shortbread and stop moaning.. or I'll eat it myself.. besides.. not doing level 3 does not make you deserve a dog biscuit.. they are saved for good flappers who do ALL their list.. Hence I have the shortbread too.. I REFUSE to clean a knob!!!

Pink Fairy.. my mother has 3 dachshunds (all longhaired.. 2 are red and one is silver dappled) and they are incredibly noisy.. one of them 'talks' ALL the time.. they are such lovely natured dogs though.. I'd have one for DD2 but they are a bit fragile for my lot.. and Tiddles has a nasty habit of kicking dogs which I have been trying for 3 years to stop... ggrrr

It is the cleaner of all things evil.. about 60p a bottle and REALLY good at ost monstrous things and can be used on EVERYTHING.. tesco doon't seem to stock it any more but asda did last time I checked.

Starclen is the same thing but a bit stronger I found.. but someone mentioned 'the barkeepers friend' I think it was that was the dogs danglies of all things fly.

Nickysnackynoo - http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=354039&highlight=stardrops Read away for all the stardrops info. It's good stuff.

Pigpen - I will never, ever clean a knob! Even if it's put on the list on level 1, 2 and 3!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've got the exclamation mark bug again!!!

You also freak me....there I am thinking my throat is hurting and you get in first and say you've got a sore throat. You're freaking me!!! Have you ordered the same camera as soappie???

pigpen

I haven't bought a camera... I have a rather nifty sony cybershot (or it would be nifty IF I could find the charger... gggrrr).. though I am eyeing up the 12Mp one.. maybe for christmas

the oven hob and knob was on the 'extras' ..

And I don't have a sore throat yet I just feel like my tonsils are twice their proper size.. but mine swell first and hurt later.. I am trying not to talk see if it goes off.. it sometimes works!

Oooh.. I didn't share..

In my middle room during my 45 minute fly I found...

the lace and the suede ribbon I've been looking for for 3 months! TADA!!!!!! my mother is well chuffed!
£10 from Tiddles christening (MIL put it in her card because she couldn't be bothered to come!!!)
a dress I had sold on ebay months ago and lost!! .. git!
a pair of new shoes..
some new school shirts to replace DS1's manky ones.. he only has a few weeks left and there was no way I was replacing them now!
loads of hubbys socks.. save me buying him more!
and.. a bag of litter for the bunny litter tray!

nickysnackynoo

Wow-I'll be first in the queue :whistle: for some Stardrops-tommorrow
Thanks

Mudbath

How come I only ever find dead wasps, dried cat / dog sick and dust bunnies? And it was MY extras I did not yours so you're not allowed to shout at me. Do you ever have that sense of doom that something not good is going to happen? Maybe I just need to eat some more. Right, i'm going to bed! Shattered. Night all xx

pigpen

Right.. uniforms need doing and my nest is calling.. see y'all in the mooning.. I hope I'll not be woken up every time I turn over tonight.. my bruise kept waking me last night!

My nails are being fixed at 12 as well.. hubby is coming to pick tiddles up from nursery
