what worries me about the veet cream or any removal system...is will it grow back thicker and darker? It seems to be true of areas on my body that get waxed epil'ed shaved etc and I just really really really don't want to be dealing with an eventual mostache a southern colonel would be proud of.

I detest ironing and vacuuming the mostest. Soon as it's done it needs to be done again...totally pointless constant work. I can't stand emptying the dishwasher either for some reason, and my pet peeve currently is that the water bottle ALWAYS runs out when I'm the only one there so I have to change the bottle. Such a small thing but endlessly irritating.

beats me...apparently there is a sign, where the limit changes but thats the only one. I just havent seen it yet, so it's all hearsay as to whether it does actually exsist. Barracuda rather thoughtfully have put signs all through their store warning their patrons about the change, which i thought was quite nice ;)

Can't see any point in watching it now that James is out...he is one classy performer. Still gutted over Casey. If that wee lauren wins, I won't be surprised but i will be disappointed. She does have a great voice but she lacks maturity and experience and is rigid to watch on stage...give her a couple of years and she will be someone to watch. Haley is cool, and scotty, well he will mature into a fine C&W performer and kudos to him for sticking with his genre and what works for him....think someone gave him a serious talking to so that unbearable cockiness of his has calmed down. hubby addicted to the show, so have had to watch all season, bless it.

notoriously bad babe sorry. You *could* try NZ but luck with that. The water thing can be fixed, (it's a common problem with the fridges) but you'll need to get customer services here to send someone round. Still under warranty?

I havent personally tried it, but have had friends treat their kids with it. And yes, rec. by Dr's but not here. It's more of a homeopath approach...particularly for building immunity in the whole child as recurring tonsilitis/ear infections seem to be a weak point. A kid gets even slightly run down and infections zero in on the area. The pharmacy at the Springs Town Center had both immune stuff and the tonsil stuff. Sorry I can't be more specific as to what they are actually called!

we stayed just out of the main part in a lovely boutique hotel and walked everywhere. Just be aware that it's not really pushchair/stroller friendly. Most places have a pool. Take a yacht trip for a day if you get a chance...you get to go over the side and swim in the lovely volcanic heated sea (and yes..we did that with a little person) Whatever you do don't take the donkey ride DOWN the cliff...hideous. there is a lttle cable car thingy. It's massively expensive. and gets incredibly over crowded when the cruise boats come in but it is to die for beautiful

theres a natural remedy called something like tonsilgon that you can take, and immune boosters, also natural. (check with your Dr as even natural remedies are meds and can react with other things) Think it might be time to see a specialist personally...I just know what a difference it made to both lil miss's life and mine when we finally remedied the situation properly.

IFA (International football academy) * don't quote me on the actual name but something like that* will also have an afterscool activity near you..probably at the school Check out JESS: they'll have after school activities like karate you can sign him up for There is a library in the MoE that you can sign the family up for...called the Old Library and run entirely by volunteers. It's on the ductac level...they also have drama/dance/singing and art classes up there for the smallies. hth

yeah, double check simples, I don't work have no income etc and I still have an account. As for clearing out the joint a/c before informing bank...sometimes it's not that simple as someone else would be informing the bank before you get a chance to. We have a rule that we keep bare minimum in it for monthly expenses so that should *something* happen and it got frozen for whatever reason then the loss wouldnt be that hard to stomach should it take months to clear up.

I'm with a certain 4 letter bank here too, and we have a joint account...as in my name on it, I have atm/debit card and a cheque book. My credit card still hasnt shown up yet though, 4 years on, so I don't think I'll hold my breath for it. also a get out of dodge account that is purely mine should something happen to himself and they freeze the joint one.
