    feeling er numb!!
    i think trips up north would work,,only 1.25hrs with the new motor way
    however it would need careful planing so as you dont get to much of the wrong stuff..
    but we only have a small car peug,207
    so me,oh,child and monster in seat plus baby bag and buggy ...dont leave much room for shopping,,,signed up with tescos on line both here and NI,,,intended to do price comparison to see if really worth it??also asda do € for £ offers every so often(they also get round the uk shopping lawsvery cleaverly,,,,if your from the republic they let you in at say 10am do your shop and then you wait untill the tills open at 12 to pay for it !! brill)

    I do need to get out more Shaun.:rotfl:

    It could be worth one of you going in the car with shopping list and price comparison of everything you need.Or if you and a couple of mates were to get together and split petrol costs would also help. Asda sound good and i bet all the shops will be looking at getting around stuff soon with the way the economy is shaping.

    Looks like everyone is doing well on the shopping bargains - reminded me too that I'd better get my list done tonight ready for Friday evenings dash rond Tesco. I have £21.80 left so I can go mad! LOL!

    Bob - I take it your friend would recognise you from here if she was to read the boards? If she does, and she asks you about it, I reckon your only approach is a veiled warning - you know the sort of thing "yes, I do have a diary on there, but obviously you won't be talking about it to people any more than I would be discussing your private financial business with people, would you!" - certainly no way should you end up feeling that you can't post and be open about stuff - god knows everyone needs a sounding board sometimes.

    Congratulations on your 10,000th post :beer:.

    Got some bargains at tesco today too. Clothes at 20% off and exchanged £15 of clubcard vouchers for £30 vouchers towards clothes so got £50 of clothes for £10 cash and DH paid as more of the clothes were for him. He got jeans, work shirts, socks, I got 2 t-shirts, DS has new shorts and trousers and DD has new dress, top and socks. So it still worked out as a NSD for me:p.

    She may well do so EH, as there are a few clues re real life situations as is the want with diaries and stream of consciousness etc. I would say something along those lines too there is some of me that just wants to escape sometimes...without having to explain myself:o
