    Hope you all had a good Easter despite the weather.

    Noticed the Covent Garden Soup Vouchers have finished.

    Mum is back in Hospital, as she can't eat, drink or take any of her medication and seemed to be in and out of consciousness when the paramedic came yesterday.
    They have her on a drip which should help to rehydrate her, but don't yet know what the problem is.
    Hope they can find out and do something to help.
    I have her sister, my 90 year old aunt (lives 40 miles away and can no longer drive) crying on the phone to me and asking if she is going to be OK, but I don't have the answers.

    Could anyone let me know if they think that the Jacobs crinkles or mini chedders will work vs T if I shop now as the price has gone up in T or should I not risk it?


    TIA <3

    Sue, I'm immensely sorry to read about mum, she sounds in a bad way just now. I'm sure the hospital will do all they can to make her comfortable.

    Your poor aunt bless her, is she the only sibling she has? She must feel useless now she can't drive as her first thought would be to go to her bedside.

    You're all in my thoughts right now Sue xx

    Is it just me or have the prices on the mini chedders / crinkleys gone up to £1.79 at T, not the £1 we need for them to compare to?


    Probs £1 in store still today, and £1.79 online for delivery tomorrow. Not sure how asda get their pricing for Ts.

    Postie been today and brought me my free samples of Rose Hydrating Skincare Ritual from So-Post.

    3 small sachets of 1 Hydrating Eye Gel Cream, 1 Deep Hydration Face Serum and 1 Deep Hydration Face Cream.

    Not put my totals in signature yet but these will be entered as 3, because there are 3 :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I haven't been counting toiletries, it's only Face and body stuff, I haven't bought anything in that kind since we started the Grand Clearance :T. I'm including deodorant and makeup in totals as I seem to have amassed quite a pile :eek: 5 mascaras that I've come across so far. It's used daily generally, but I have doubts as to how long they'll stay usable sealed up. We shall see :D

    You can pay a smaller amount than the value of the gift voucher. When your receipt prints out so does a new credit note for the remaining amount.
