    Morning TPA :)

    Well done for returning the bottle to the fridge :T

    Happy to report no floods here. Got a shock switching on the TV this morning to see the floods and to hear about the poor lad on the bridge.

    Managed 6 AF days but might have toast2.gif tonight as DH is being a pain.
    Currently studying for a Diploma - wish me luck :)

    I think Cava is necessary in the run up to Christmas have to test the odd bottle so you know it's OK for others :D

    Awww new sofas, hope they have arrived by now.

    Couldn't agree more re. the Cava:rotfl:

    Have just had a 20 minute break and went to the garage to adjust my wine stash, I put the bottles in order, you know, red, white, rose, sparkling........what do you mean this is not normal behaviour??:confused::rotfl:

    Sml 6 days is an absolute fantastic achievement...men are such a pain at times!

    setmefree, only two glasses, you too are saintly!:A

    Right back to the grind stone!

    Well todays been a very strange one. On one of the 'shop but don't drop' threads was details of a voucher for Bon Marche, my MIL loves this shop (and I love their PJs and slippers, a girl can never have too many PJs or slippers you know!). Anyway I had already bought her a coat for her birthday from here last week, now sods law this 40% voucher turns up. Enter professor TPA and her money saving ways........went into said shop and purchased the coat again along with a couple of other bits and pieces for MIL and a pair of PJs and slippers..booty type for me. Once I knew I could indeed get another identical coat for MIL I sent hubby in with original one and orginal receipt and got a refund!:p

    Also returned shoes to Evans as I managed to get them cheaper on line, two sets of things that I had to purchase for various MSs (bit naught but ha ho) and managed to convert my Next voucher to plastic! I.E. bought my picture frames same as the other week with voucher then returned originals with credit card receipt from previously. A bit naughty but I had paid full price for all things previously so I was not getting back more than originally paid,:D So a day of refunds for me! Credit card company will wonder what on earth is going on!

    I have cleaned my kitchen and tidied it up...a myrical in itself, now just the rest of the house to do!:rotfl:

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
