    Sue happy Anniversary - Mr EL and I celebrated our 4th last week - here's to decades more!

    Only spent £1.55 today at the Co-Op but this is part of cash withdrawal I made early on in the month, so doesn't count towards my total :D Plus they were: Hovis best of both bread - reduced to £0.75 and cherry tomatoes, reduced to £0.80p.

    If you look at the green bar along the top there is a drop down menu called Quick Links, go into that, one of the options is edit signature. That is how you get the stuff at bottom of your post. HTH:D
