Would solve all overpopulation issues. No woman in her right mind would put herself through that :) Most probably yes... *double sigh*... :) My youngest taught me I don't need sleep. Then I taught me how to wake up about seven hours after getting up. Does mean I discover things about myself I didn't know - like I've been walking around with a blob of margerine attached to a sliver of ham in my hair. |

Hello everyone! MAJOR COMPUTER CRASH! Have boinced back now! Severe withdrawal though... so forgive me if I pop up all over the place. :) Hope everyone happy and well! IRL I wish I could get a supply of jelly babies. There was a British Import Store back east somewhere; but, I lost their information. They would carry jelly babies infrequently. I managed to get two bags from them once. Regular stores in America can't get them... I don't know why. :-( Otherwise, I'm doing fine. :-) TimeLord04 Have TARDIS, will travel... Come along K-9!

In mood to eat my jelly babies feet first tonight! How are you? :) My sincere condolences for your loss of their information :( and apologies too for putting their feet in my mouth :) I found this for you :) http://ri.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=AwrBTz2AlBZThggAJX5XNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTEzaHBlNjByBHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDMQRjb2xvA2JmMQR2dGlkA1ZJUDI5M18x/RV=2/RE=1394017537/RO=10/RU=http%3a%2f%2fwww.britsuperstore.com%2facatalog%2fBassetts_Sweets.html/RK=0/RS=F32zCgA9.thtyzY6H.F93zd9if8- Okay...didn't expect all that! If no good - let me know. The Fourth Timelord without jellybabies? :( But so glad you're otherwise fine! |

I fixed your url; once at that site, I used their search engine and found the Bassett's Jelly Babies. Thank you for that. Also; I did some digging through my paperwork, and found my old receipt for the jelly babies that I purchased. The store I bought from is "USA Based - British Goods Online" at USA Based - British Goods Online. (I hope this link works outside the US.) This store is located in Pennsylvania; and, shipping is where the cost gets expensive. For an order of $10.99, shipping is currently $8.95. I'm presently a little low on funds; so, I will hold off a little while before reordering my jelly babies. TimeLord04 Have TARDIS, will travel... Come along K-9! Join Calm Chaos |

That sounds like daylight robbery to me! How many bags do you get for that? I will do some research to see how prices compare. (Haribo also do jellybabies - don't know whether you have a preference?) If posting my end not too expensive (and sending sweets that way is legal - don't want them blown up in any controlled explosions now do we) and as long you don't get thumped with a customs and excise bill, I will happily send you a bag as a gift. :) And thank you for fixing that link! Um - posting my end will probably be very expensive. @.@ Might just stick to the sweets |

Ah well you see, if you buy the Gold Policy, they help you move house, while they are away for the weekend. @.@ ohhhhhhh...you've reminded me of one of my childhood fears... except they'd move house every morning as soon as I'd left for school. :) |

But I couldn't eat a whole one. Actually - do you know what... that's not fair. I've been trying really hard not to snort inelegantly at that ever since I saw it...now I'm on the floor |

This store is located in Pennsylvania; and, shipping is where the cost gets expensive. For an order of $10.99, shipping is currently $8.95. On the suggestion of a friend, I checked Amazon. They actually sell jelly babies!!! :-) I found a 600g package for $9.99 plus shipping, no tax. I couldn't resist; so, I just bought for packages, and shipping on it came to $8.99 - my grand total is $48.95 for 2400g of jelly baby deliciousness. As it turns out; though, the company is in the UK so, shipping will take a month to get to me. As the order was placed at 2:30 PM - PST, I anticipate the order won't be filled until some time tomorrow, and won't be shipped until some time on Monday. TimeLord04 Have TARDIS, will travel...

Well - have done a few things for my children which have had unforeseen consequences. Like joining the "the social network" outside seti. I could not find a "user on tricycle with training wheels version" So...hurtled headlong into facebook where I am currently stuck in a heap of tangled me and trike at the bottom of a wall. Does that counts as a "life event"...? Not content with that - so that I could tweet my daughter congratulating her on the rave reviews she received for her stage performance (she WAS brilliant - but it's good to know that's not just the mum in me speaking)... ... I entered twitter and became it's first genuine twit! (PLEASE feel free to correct me - it would be nice to know I am not alone on this planet) WAS offered a list of celebrities and politicians to follow to "get me started" - all of whom I WOULD follow if they were heading towards a cliff... So chose none of them. This is my question... Is it normal practise to follow yourself on twitter? I don't know - but I am, and last time I checked, I still am - and, fortunately for everyone else averse to going round in dizzying circles - am the only one doing so. I find it quite disconcerting. How do I find the time to follow anyone else? I also keep clicking "resend confirmation email" so that I can enjoy all the twitter features (which I suppose will broaden my horizons beyond that of my rear end) and it never arrives. Are they trying to tell me to go away? The downward spiral continued yesterday when I went to Elephant and Castle. I have discussed that elsewhere in the forums. Please don't make do it again. All I can say is I'm not the person I used to be. For the moment, till I work out who I am now - feel free to continue calling me anniet. ps I have also had chair and keyboard issues - I believe it may have been Wiggo who put that concept out into the cosmos. :) |

I spend way too much time on Facebook. I'm also on Twitter, but I'm never on it, if you know what I mean. I use it mainly to follow the tweets from steam locomotive crews on excursions that interest me. I can't remember the last time I tweeted, if I ever have. I doubt I'm following more than a dozen people/organizations. I'm not interested in what the celebs have to say.
