    Kazwookie - I would have the same problem with a £40 Morrisons spend - also if you think about it you are looking at a minimum spend of £160 to get the voucher plus you have to spend £40 to use the it- total spend of £200, which is 10% saving. While they have some good offers I don't think I could spend that much there in a few weeks if I tried.

    I think for a lot of people here the Tesco vouchers in the papers are a better deal, £5 off a £30 spend (about 17%)

    Ooooh, can you arrange that or book it in or something, I'll swap mine too... is it like the bodysnatchers and they still look the same, just different attitudes? brilliant!.

    I think brain snatchers is the phrase you are looking for:rotfl:

    :jGot the paint.:j Had a brainwave whilst we we're in B&Q. Crown paint was on offer 2 x 2.5l for £19.98. So I got a 'Shocking Pink', think cerise pink, for DD's room. And a 'Lupin' blue for DS room. Plus a 10ltr tub of white vinyl silk.

    DD's new room will require more than 1x 2.5 ltr pot. So I was thinking shocking pink on one wall and then mix the remaining pink with the white to lighten it and do the rest of the room. So in effect alot cheaper than it would have been;)

    DS's room only needs one pot, but if it's too dark then we can add a bit of white in with that as well.

    Ooooo I'm really excited.:j:j:j

    'Mission Makeover Madness' is now offically operational.:p

    I also want to get in the garden and fill the empty bins i have with wood, coal and kindling as i'm sick of trudging up to the bottom of the garden everyday. I can put these by the back door so hopefully it won't be too much hassle then to go and grab some when i need it. I should then only need to fill the bins once a week. That's the plan anyway.:rolleyes:

    Morning everyone, GnB what a shock hope DD recovers quickly.

    I've done nothing yet this morning, woke with a dose of the cold so hubby made everyone breakie and everyone's dressed except me.:rotfl:

    Right not sure what i'll get up to today but will get on with the washing.
    Back later with an update.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j
