The ultimate incentive worked! Now onto phase two

Looks like I did get it - happy un-birthday to me!

Ooh how lovely! And thanks for that Cinny, hopefully Tesco will follow suit as I think driving out of my way to the nearest Asda forecourt would swallow up the saving...

Yep I'm a Tesco girl too, Asda is roughly on the way back if I'm going to some of my friends houses on a Monday, but I don't even know whose house we're at this week - will be needing petrol by then though, halfway down the tank. Really depressing to think between NIM and I we get through about £65 of petrol a week!

The job sounds good Tete, good luck!
As for my job, I've heard nothing more about Chorley other than that I'm going on the 20th July for 'at least' a week. I hope it is just a week! I won't even be staying in a cool hotel, I think it's just a bog standard Travelodge, no pool or anything!
That's good news about your friend wendz! I hope everything goes well for her and the baby!
Cinny, I think my nearest Asda is 25 mins away so I'll have to remember to fill up when I'm next near it! Looking at the stories on the side there's one about a model posing nude on tv at lunchtime- I saw 'Today's Nude' on tuesday whilst I was having my lunch and I was horrified! It was a middle-aged woman with saggy you-know-whats and you saw *everything*! Urgh, put me right off my food!

We shop at asda but it doesn't have a petrol station, how annoying!

Hope the pregnancy works out for your friend Wendz, my step-mum has had 4 or 5 miscarriages and is pregnant so I know the feeling of waiting to see if it all works out

I hope Tesco follows suit with the petrol! And that's a bargain you got on the spa deal Dinah. I love Bath Spa but it's so expensive.

Do you live near Bath Zig? I'm going there for a weekend with the girls in October, wonder if we should look into a day at the spa? We're looking forward to doing the Jane Austen stuff too!

I live in Bristol. But me and the OH like to go shopping there, when we feel like braving the tourists! I would definately recommend a trip to the Spa. The rooftop pool is incredible. It's like a bath, the water is really warm, but being in the open air is really nice! It's hard to explain! Plus, they do nice massages.

Tourists like me! Sounds lovely though, will look into it!!

Lol yeah, but Bath wouldn't be Bath without all the tourists! It's nice on an evening though, when there aren't many people and the buildings just look amazing. I'd also recommend going to Jamie's Italian. The food is really good.
