    Thanks guys.

    They are very very cute. I have come home to my mental 2 now though and remember what they turn into! :rotfl: Both have been running around like loons, and Dylan has found my stash of tampax and has run around with them! :rolleyes:

    my friend came home from shopping last year when i was visiting her and chucked a tesco bag of stuff in the freezer apparently she put all the frozen stuff in the same bag so she could do that and a few days later she phoned me and said she went to get an ice lolly out for her dd and the tesco bag had her new box of tampax in it:rotfl: :T what was funnier is that they had got wet and were all swollen and brusting out the box :rotfl:

    i am cooking up a storn this evening to much in the fridge that needed using so having lamb shank with minted gravy with sweet pototoes peas and carrot and making a stewing steak pie to use the steak and pototoes!

  • MM - Been here for 4 and a half years and are probably going to be here for another 18 months or so. We came over for 6-12 months originally but the date for going home just keeps getting put further and further into the future!! Luckily I have a EU passport and my OH has an ancestral visa so we're allowed to stay for as long as we like.

    I have made a rule that we are not planning on any holidays until the debts are paid off - thats where they've all come from and seem to just be growing higher and higher every time we travel! So the end of this year we are looking at a nice cheap trip to Egypt once the debts have been paid off! Then next year we'll do more of eastern europe and probably another couple of short trips (from now on depending on what we can afford, not on the CC!!!)

    Amy - your house must be a sight with the cats and tampax, hehe, gotta love them!

    best of luck with your job application tubbs. My one ebay item didn't sell either jen , hoping some of my amazon books will. Congrats on your bids nicki!
    Having a bit of a dream earlier trying to work out what colour mini I want. My old one was red so that would be good but I also like black, the light bright blue colour and dark silver( those last 2 are Cooper s colours so not really in my budget tho) so guess its red black or normal silver. Can you tell I've been a bit bored today LOL !
