Spender or Saver?

chanie44 — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 15:59:55 GMT

I'm a spender. I try not to spend what I don't have, but I don't really save.

In some ways, I'm quite tight in that I hate paying for things unnecessarily, but this means that I have more money to spend elsewhere (e.g. clothes).

She's here!

Anger at Orange

Poohbearkate — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 15:45:36 GMT

hi

I ordered a pay monthly plan and new phone online at orange shop yesterday morning, they got me all excited by saying I could choose delivary date so I picked earliest of course which is Wednesday. Got to end of transaction and it said that before they could complete their sales team had to check it and would email me when it was done.

Do you think I have had an email yet? NO! I am so impatient but don�t get why it takes so long! Guessing I will have to give in and ring them but ...

I thought I better reintroduce myself as I haven't been around regularly since the change of websites. In the last year we moved from one state to another and I changed workplaces after 24 years working in the same hospital laboratory. 6 months ago we bought a new home here after we had looked around the area for 6 months.

3 months ago I changed careers and am now happily looking after the computers at 2 primary schools. I spend 3 days a week at the school my 4 children attend and 1 day a week ...

Cookies Diet Diary!!

cookie1979 — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 12:33:16 GMT

Last year I lost just over 2 stone, but then December came and I stopped trying and then pigged out at Christmas, now I'm ready to get back on it. I'm doing a diet specifically for PCOS, it really seemed to work because I lost 2 stone in about 3 months, and now I'm ready to lose the weight I gained over Christmas plus another 2 stone. My goal is to get to 10 and a half stone by the end of July - now some people think I can't do it, but I know if I stick with it then I can do it.

FAO Harriann: Katie Price's nightware at ASDA

chanie44 — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 08:22:53 GMT

This is marked for Harri because she works in ASDA but anyone can help.

Has anyone seen Jordan's nightware range at ASDA. I saw her wearing some in a magazine and it looked like the type of nightware I would go for. I keep forgetting to check it out in ASDA so I was wondering how much it costs and whether it was worth it.

IBS - how did you get diagnosed?

rugbykirsty87 — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 02:46:18 GMT

To everyone who has had the diagnosis of IBS. How did u get the diagnosis and what were your symptoms. I have heard that a lot of suffers of PCOS have IBS aswell. I have a feeling I have IBS afer finding that even after suspecting I was pregnant, I then went on to have a period and still continue to suffer from the acute adominal pains, and especially once ive eaten.

Ok, it's time I search for nursing bras or in my terms, scaffolding for the puppies

Now, I always got to Marks & Spencers, so off I went last week to be fitted for nursing bras, but to my embarrasment & shame, they do NOT do my size

So, does anyone know of a good shop or website that do fantastic nursing bras?

I'm looking at H/J cups. I can't afford to spend huge amounts of money, but I'm really annoyed, because if they don't fit properly I then have to send them ...

Well, after a discussion with Lala, I have decided to start a pregnancy diary on here from start to finish, letting you all in in the ups & downs of the 40 weeks of growing the affectionately named 'wombat'

Ok, well the best place for me to start would be the beginning............

The date of my last menstrual period was 29 April 2008 & I remember it well. We went away for the night & were going out the following day & I was hoping it would be over the following day. ...

I wonder if anyone can give me any ideas on what to get Andy for his birthday from the Wombat?

His birthday is about 3 weeks after she's due & I'd like to get something before she's born so I haven't got to rush about finding something afterwards especially if end up with a section as I won't be able to drive.

The sirens have been going off in every direction so I`m guessing black ice.

This isn't fair.

Text Speak in my opinion, is laziness and sheer lack of respect. There are several individuals who are still constantly using it.

2. People who are willing to get off their arse to search the entire rom for the remote because they refuse to walk to the tv to change the channel! (NB, I do this myself!)

lankylil — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 01:03:59 GMT

What product have you tried recently and want to recommend?

I've been using

Maybelline Volume Express The Colossal Mascara

it's great for really long, clump free lashes. One of the best mascaras I've found in a long time and the bonus is it's on sale in some places at the moment (ie boots has it for the reduced price of �4.84)

Cos I'm new to the area, I don't really know the best places to go. I've found a salon that does it for �14 for 15 minutes. The local college has a salon for students to practice and they will charge �6 for 20 minutes. Am temped to go for the training college as I'm skint. But, at the same time, I'm worried about ...

I'd like to go jogging once a week and see how I go.

lankylil — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 22:33:07 GMT

I hate taking mine down. The place always looks so bare when I do, plus it's admitting that Christmas is over for another year, which is sad. I ignore the 12 days thingy that a lot of people I know go by, and I take mine down during the day, the first day that my guys go back to school.

When do you take yours down?
