Now have been told have to stop 2 weeks before my Christmas present, was intending to stop en-route to NZ. Am ready for it. Just need the incentive. Stopped for 5 years when first pregnant. Know I can do it again!
As for the Bolly - hmmmm - a woman must have at least one vice surely? (And I've got all the shoes I need/want!!)

My sister just rang - re our move..then asked if my hubby could buy her Clarins serum in duty free -will be her birthday/christmas pressy at £46
no pressies for kids yet, but daughter has asked for money- she's still having driving lessons and it's expensive.
So what should we be asking for girls? Something we can't get in NZ?

Tough isn't it when you know you're going and every little bit of crap you buy them, they'll expect to be shipped to the other side of the world. Whether working/intact/used etc!!!
Eldest has manipulated daddy to buy a full drum kit?!
Have already phoned work this morn to say won't be in tomorrow. 4 year old too poorly, dear of her. 60 seconds in doctors! Last time any of us went to doctors I think was for my "campervan back" around end of May?!

MY mother told me as a youngster...DONT DRINK , DONT STEAL
SO what is she doing with her life, all the things she told me NOT TO DO
Parents...what can you do with them

And when I got dumped by my first serious boyfriend he provided me with fags & vodka (I was 15 I think.) Anything to keep me in my room, so he wouldn't have to actually discuss it!! Quite like that one!

My mother proceeded to wipe the floor, walls and ceiling with me when she found out I had been smoking, that had the desired affect as I havent touched them since then
she was just a tad bit angry with me about that one
