    Got two more shoe boxes covered with music paper this morning -one guitars the other drums, for my two sons.
    All going well then OH couldn't find his mobile phone -hardly ever uses it, couldn't remember where he'd put it, neither could I......spent ages looking, scratching heads etc..............gave up and looked for cheap one on line. Tescos pay as you go £14.55 - brilliant thought I. Rang local Tescos............had they got one -no they hadn't !:mad: OH has now decided he's not bothered anyway as hates mobiles...............so he says. I've got a spare one.........might give him that if he stops grumping about it...............lol
    Hope this post goes on ok............been trying odd times today and keep getting 'ooops -this link appears to be broken' coming up and when I get back on site the posts gone:confused: So...............here's hoping.............:rolleyes:

    I hate it when I lose my phone! It was only £30 but I like it.

    I keep getting that error as well so I'm glad I'm not alone!!

    Hey everyone,

    How are you all doing chatterboxes :D

    Went to the doctors today for my ear infection and she couldn't even see inside my ear because it was so swollen and had to get the kids ear attachment lol

    Was VERY naughty and not moneysaving at all. I took the kids out to Bostin Fittle for a nice pub meal and then we went to the ball pit where I behaved like a kid and threw balls at everyone. Had an hour to kill before the doctors so I took them to the Disney store.. oops!! Ended up buying Emily a Cinderella wheeled suitcase reduced to 10 pounds and some Minnie Mouse scissors. Logan wanted a giant potato head full of potato head things.. or 'patata ems' as he calls them.

    Was in and out of doctors in record time and the kids wanted to stay out a bit longer so I TREATED them to Hobbycraft haha!! Only spent 2.60 in there on some reduced things but fell hard when I popped to Home Bargains next door ;)

    Bought the kids meal deals from Boots for dinner (The philidelphia and ham sandwiches are low sodium and low fat) and I always buy them the Organix crisps seperate and use the extra 2 meal deal items on something else. Managed to get a good meal deal bargain:

    BOOTS MEAL DEAL BARGAIN:
    Sandwich
    Big grab bag maltesers (the 1.69 ones)
    Ribena BOGOF so 2 bottles
    = 2.99 :D

    You can also get Dr peper/sprite/fanta/Irn Bru in the BOGOF.

    I'm feeling a bit tired out tonight but very positive :)

    Hope everyone else is doing well xx

    Oh, my printer did that too! I changed the ink cartridge and it worked fine. I think the microchip was damaged in the old one or something. Might work for you as well? Not exactly money saving but better than getting a new printer, as such.
