    REading your quote..How many handbags do you have? I have 5 :( Havent bought one for nearly 3 mths now.haha. Hope you daughters eyes clear up soon. My kids have had that a few times. Steamy baths and frequent bathing eyes in water helps..
    I'm not quite sure how many - not hundreds or anything, but I do love buying them. :o

    I'm not a designer handbag girlie though. There's no way I would pay that sort of money. My current favourite handbag cost £4 in the sales. :D

    I get conjunctivitus every couple of years in the summer. Started getting it when I was a kid, not nice :(

    There are eye drops you can buy over the counter now, rather than having to get a prescription, but they are only available from a pharmacy. Don't bother with bromide or Golden Eye, they won't clear it up as it is more of a bacterial infection, it is quite contagious.

    I've just had a aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhh moment.

    I used a couple of my John Lewis/Pigsback vouchers last week to stock up on a couple of presents for my family. I bought my brother a desk top remote controlled car which comes with some cones - he likes little gadgety things.

    I check on the special offers page quite often but looked today and wished I hadn't - they are reduced from £12 to £6!!! aarrggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!

    I know I got the vouchers for free - but aarrgghhh!!!!

    Yes - she's only been once and has been ill ever since! :rotfl:

    She only goes once a week though, so I suppose it *might* have cleared up by Wednesday. If not I will keep her off, because I'm still on maternity leave at the moment - these were just 'settling in' sessions. But I was hoping to have some time with just Ryan on Wednesday, as it's difficult to give him individual attention with a baby around. I might take him somewhere next weekend instead and Stu can look after Natasha on his own (:eek:).

    Morning Peeps:hello:

    Up half the night with heartburn from the Indian Takeaway and red wine had last nignt, had no indigestion tablets so had to just suffer.

    Was planning to take boys out clothes shopping and lunch out but as we spend on the takeaway last night and still have loads left I think we will just have a late breakfast, skip lunch and have the takeaway warmed up for dinner...but at the moment I cant face thinking about eating it.

    Hope everyone is well...sorry to hear about conjuntivitis Snags, its a nasty thing.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Morning everyone :hello:

    Sorry to hear about Nat Snaggles. I hope she's soon on the mend.

    Having a quiet day here. The kids are out playing and DH is in bed (he's on nights) Just me and the dog, sharing the sofa and a biccy :D

    Morning all.

    Lovely and sunny up here today. Off food shopping soon and then to see to the horse with the kids which they love doing. Other than that nothing exciting today. Back to work tomorrow so lots of washing and ironing to do.

    Have a great day everyone. x x

    Morning all! Snowing heavily here so I'm thinking I should be putting my washing away (DS is in bed for his nap) and cleaning the kitchen. I've had a fairly productive day so far, have done Amazon listing and paid off my CC bills from last month's holiday. I rewarded myself with a large slice of home-made chocolate fudge cake :D
