    Was I the only kid who read the Argos catalogue _pale_ That's [strike]a bit [/strike] VERY sad isn't it.... :confused:

    S'ok I did it too. :)

    But I'm nowhere near normal so dont get too excited :)

    Good Luck for tomorrow Snaggles. Hope you enjoyed today biggrin.gif

    Oh, and Teasmaids are BACK!! I should have kept my Grandads original one - it could be worth a fortune now biggrin.gif

    Is it compulsory to talk about boobs too? I haven't had chance to read the whole thread just yet snaggles. But I will. Boob talk will follow.

    And I'm really good at chocolate talk. Because I'm here to let you know that chocolate is good for you. Its got milk in it see. A glass and a half in every bar. The TV does say so. And milk is good for you. Strong teeth and bones and all that. :)
    Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold...But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow...

    Can I get off this naughty step yet? My bum has gone numb! :p

    BB, our vac only cost £40 and it's fab but VERY noisy. And it's black and red to match the sweeping brush and mop...:o

    I used to love reading the Argos catalogue too, and my son does it now. At Xmas he asked if instead of making a list for Santa, he could just draw a circle around the things he wanted! :rotfl:

    Helloooo! :wave:

    Well, as some of you may know, tomorrow is a bit of a landmark for me, because I return to work after 12 months of maternity leave - eeek!

    Good luck with the return to work, Snaggles! I'm not due back until July and I'm starting to dread it already! :(

    Don't feel guilty about the bin - you deserve a treat. (Not that a bin is everybody's idea of much of a treat though!) :D

    It was the only place you saw stuff to buy - there wasn't much telly or adverts (mainly washing powder ones too) and you didn't go leisure shopping but there was this like huge book of stuff you knew you couldn't afford in your house..... bit sinister now I think about it.

    sorry - realised that was maybe not why you couldn't get her one - apologise for lack of sensitivity.

    Lets just hope he's greedy and circles something on every page - it would take until xmas trying to find something circled it's enormous!

    Hey Quackers :hello:

    Can't believe I even got confused about what day I was going back to work - I don't even work Mondays! :doh:

    Boob talk isn't compulsory, don't worry - I am just trying to wean a rather stubbon little girl who only likes 'booby milk' and wont accept expressed/formula milk from a bottle or cup.

    She's managing to have a couple of small drinks of cows milk per day now (naughty I know as she's not quite 12 months old, but it's better than nothing), and I have just in the last 2 days dropped to 2 breastfeeds a day, but goodness me I look like Jordan and I am sooooo sore!

    There you go, you can all rest easy now, I have talked about my boobs...my thread is complete! :D
