    Evening all

    Tiny, well done on your haul. Nothing like that in my store, but happy with my few bits

    I have had an accident with my car. I was just testing my hand brake was on and I have no idea what I done but the car rolled down the hill and into the neighbors porch about 50 yards away I was dangling along but no one was injured expect me as badly bruised and the car is now immobile.

    Neighbour was lovely and came over and made me a cuppa She is the same as me it’s only a car and building and both will be covered by my insurance

    Hopefully those who wanted beans got some before they changed the offer.

    Sorry it is over for anyone who missed out.

    From my own perspective I hope they haven’t reversed my vouchers!

    B@gger, Today I had the choice, Grumpy Knickers Tax SA or a trip to morribobs... looks like I chose wrong!
    Never mind, can relax as tax is done.

    Think I'm going to have to leave my cushions in the car tonight :o

    Mr TS not particularly happy with my bargains :eek: He has no idea how much anything costs though. He thinks I should save the money now and just buy when I actually need it all....he has no idea.
    Oh TS my dear old grumpy has no idea either, when I come home I am usually greeted with 'and what have you bought now!'

    He does though, when I explain things, brag a little to his mates about how cheap I get stuff for.

    The boot of my car is also a store room, unfortunately my car is now the better car for long trips, so I need plenty of notice to clear the boot and stash stuff elsewhere!

    Yes cars and bricks and mortar can be replaced. You are ok and that’s the main thing:A

    Hello, happy new year! For those that may remember me I moved 2 years ago and stopped posting as I wasn't getting out so much with my shopping buddy.
    I must mention I haven't had t buy any cleaning /soap capsules/shampoo/shower gel products since moving, and probably have enough for next 2 years at least.
    I still keep my finger in by doing reduction shops, which have proved to save even more money and I have 3 freezers now!
    Moved on and up lol
    Had to come on today to say went to Asda today and bought the Muller's, 12 for £3.
    The old ones are the best £3.02 APG. Compared to Tesco at 50p each.
    Hope this isn't old news, but twice told better than never.
    LL

    Hello LL:)

    Yes lots of us have been taking advantage of the old muller lust:D

    Now you’ve found us again, don’t disappear:)

    I have set up a Just Giving page in memory of our lovely sal and donations are to be made to Martlets Hospice where she spent her final days

    She wasn’t a lady for fuss but I’m sure she would have forgiven us for wanting to honour her memory in this way.


    http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=5766303

    Her funeral will take place on the 9th January and it will be private. Her family have suggested that we could perhaps remember her in our own way by raising a toast that evening to an incredible lady who will be missed so much:A:A

    This is probably the last time I’ll post this link......

    I hope today went as well as it could for Sal’s Family.

    I’m still on target for Dry January but will raise my glass of squash to a fine lady:A
