Been to local Horicutural Society shop (as they sent me through my 2009 membership card , bargin as I only joined last August they say I can have it till dec 2009 , so in effect 18months for 12) :beer:
and brought 3 packets of seeds 10p off each & some onion sets all for £2.77:j
written letter to Mccoys to see what I might get back , voucher Im guessing , one of the small bags in the multi pack was cut in half and sealed into the bigger bag so we only got 5 bags instead of 6 ,
Took cat to vets yesterday as he's poorly and the result was that they need to sedate him on monday to give him a blood test ,
he went a little wild yesterday when they tried , arh bless the old tiger. Years back when he had his bits done they said they had to give him extra to knock him out as he just wouldnt give in ,they said he'd sleep for a long time , he was awake before we before we'd paid.

Hello everyone
No news from Pipsmum yet?
Today I will/have:
Checked online banking - all fine as is Sunday so no transactions. £10 + £6 in purse left until payday on Thursday, plus BF owes me £6 for bus pass but might hold off tll I need one next week
Went to Ha!Ha! with £10 off £20 spend voucher, food came to £20.10 and we only had a lemonade and a soda water between us, so total bill was £11.95 - bread with oils, pork chop, mushroom bruschetta and chips. Bargain! Feel treated now so no eating out today.
Lunch from cupboards
Quick visit to allotment today, no digging cause it's raining and we're both getting colds, but need to check it over.
Cinema to see Role Models, use two Cineworld GVs from Fabulous Baking Boys promotion
Watch Man U beat Chelsea, but no drinking so should be free or cheap
Daily scratch x 2, 20p
Make a pot of stew for lunches this week
Storecupboard tea
That's all I think!0 -
