    What about some voluntary work in a charity shop, to 'find your feet' for a bit??

    I know a lot was said about all this last night TS, but I would certainly recommend voluntary work in a charity shop, as it will give you experience and confidence

    And the best news of the day. :D

    DD2 finally got her results letter. :T

    Such relief.....

    FABULOUS but very close to tomorrows deadline :eek:

    Following on from today's topics, though I can't remember who said what. When Alan died, I felt him leave instantly and felt a hole appear inside me at that moment. I agree that the body is then an empty shell :(

    And as for doing what you can with your life and not waiting till retirement, a few months after Alan died, I broke down in a shop, at Gretna Green with the boys, as I looked at one of those plaques that said 'Grow old together', as it's what we had assumed we would do. It's what we all plan for but doesn't always happen, so we must make the best of the time we do have together as nothing is promised in this life

    My Mam lived till she was 93 and Dad was 85 when he died, Dad's brothers mostly lived into their 80's and 90's (he was youngest of 9) As you get older, you do start to wonder about how long you've got, when making plans, but no-one knows how much time we have

    Anyway :D I had another NSD yesterday but been into town today, which is most unusual for me. Collected my 2 lots of John Frieda at Boots (really pleased with what I got), picked up a top I ordered online from Bonmarche, checked out Superdrug but I either got the wrong BB or no £1 ones at my store, so going to take this back tomorrow. Popped into Greggs and had free popcorn with a can of Diet Coke (coke from my £5 balance on app), then into Asda for free SoBe V drink and a bottle of Pepsi Max, oh and 2 bananas. Picked up a womble which Asda aren't letting me check yet, but 21p back on CoS from it. So net cost today is £2.28 and I'm off to update my sig now :D

    For anyone looking for washing capsules I was looking on waitrose and it looked like they had a bogof starting but couldn't find anything from it apart from plenty kitchen roll. Anyway on there they have fairy non bio and ariel 3in1 pods in a 60 pack for £7, it's says reduced from £8 but they are usually a lot more exspensive than that so not far over the magic 10 p wash , hope this helps some that are short :)

    I'm not close to a Waitrose, but could get to an Asda in my work lunch break. Didn't have time for messing about so I bought 2 packs of the 60 in an AvW. Only just been able to check the result as was getting same message as others this afternoon.
    It worked and gave a £15.46 APG.
