    Thanks yukki :). I hate it when they inject in your gums, last time I had a tooth out I was so scared of it I had it pulled out without any anaesthetic.

    Try and think calming thoughts completely lost, I tend to get nervous with things too but I'm trying to get better. Try and think of something to say in case you have to introduce yourself, at least if you have something planned you won't be put on the spot. I'm sure it will be fine :).

    My dad has just driven off in a massive mood. He scares me when he's really angry :(.

    CL you'll be fine.

    Jen just order it lol

    I've just done my food shopping via my supermarket as my mate told me it would save me money and compare against all the other supermarkets etc. I did a really cheap shop (for me) and it was a tenner under compared to the next cheapest which was good. I got cashback for joining my supermarket, ipoints for using mysupermarket (if they track) and nectar points for doing the shopping!! Result.

    You choose the supermarket you usually order from (sainsburys for me). You then do your shopping like you would off the saisburys website but using mysupermarket.

    At the top of the screen it gives you a runnig total of your trolley and also flashes up a £ sign at you if you can get a similar product for cheaper (ie if something is on offer)
    It also has a running total for the same products at Tesco, Asda and Waitrose, so if I did my shop at Sainsburys and I found it was cheaper at Tesco, I could then order it via the Tesco website instead of continuing with Sainsburys.

    I saved a bit by switching products it reccomended for me to save money, and when I had finished I realised you get ipoints too for using the site which is a bonus for me.

    Does that make sense?

    oh and if you do decide to do it go via greasy palm if you use it as they offer 50p for registering and £2 for your first order. I checked Quidco first but they don;t currently offer cashback but think they will in the future so will keep an eye on it.
  • Evening all,

    OMG it's getting so close now. I have been trying to think of something to say for the last hour, but I'm stuck! I don't have any hobbies, I don't work, I don't have kids to talk about, can't think of anything interesting.

    _pale_ <-- me in 1-hour's time. *must.calm.down*
