    Hi RT! :wave:

    Hurray, and you're another Firefly fan! I was still buying DVDs when the TV series and the film came out, so I have the commentaries too, which are wonderful.

    Thanks! I'll have a looksee - people in this country certainly import from the North American continent, and good practice travels (eventually :) ) so its certainly relevant.

    Not so far sadly :( sorry - I wonder where they've got to. Its a good idea to use on pizzas. Aubergine flavour - absolutely, very yum, I'm looking forward to that!


    I had *such* a slow day yesterday, it was great. Another one today, I think, as I'm off for one of my beloved games evenings (board games :) ) this evening, tho I do need to pot up maybe 4 plants from the front garden, and I've been flicking through an old file and chucking out a tiny little bit of paperwork.

    Decision at the moment - I need a camera, I must have lost my old one - with decluttering and moving, I've turned the house upside down in the last few months, and its still nowhere to be seen, I just *must* have lost it. Asda do a 10mp Fuji for £50.... I wonder if I should just go for it and get that one. I've booked an order for Tuesday anyway - haven't had a supermarket order in a while, and the free delivery tempted me, tho at the moment I haven't bought enough to qualify. I inflated the order, but realised it was silly to spend loads just to get a free delivery, so pulled it down again. But I *would* like that camera.

    Votes please?

    Seeing double - lol! - thought I'd messed up with the scroll function on the laptop & then realized it was actually posted twice!

    Oh bother - some of our work post went missing last week - new super duper sorting station - teach me to slip something as important as coupons in the franked mail!:D

    £50 is quite a good price for the camera - saw one on m!sco the other day for £30ish but only 7 mega pix & delivery on top (they are on qu!dco so delivery charge may cancel out?) - and if the one you've found means grocery delivery free it may be worth it??:)

    Hiya ... I've noticed quite a few double postings recently, from several people - I suspect its an mse software glitch, because its happening in quite a few places.

    I won't give up hope of the coupons yet! Even if they don't arrive tho, its a nice thought, and its reminded me about HM pizza bases :)

    I'm very, very tempted by the camera. I might just delay other stuff for a little bit to have a look around on quidco too, thanks! I've just been taking some pics to sell stuff with the webcam I have - even at highest resolution, they come out at about 64k, and they're just passable as web photos to sell, or mystery shop "proof I've been there" - but they're no good for holiday snaps, thats for sure :)

  • The camera sounds like a great deal and as you have added up your MSE money in a recent post (can't remember how much it was but I know you had done really well) I think you deserve to treat yourself from your 'free' money especially if you don't even 'have' a camera since yours has been lost.

    Morning all! Right, thats three votes for the camera, and it means I'll have one to go away to Norfolk with in a couple of weeks time, so thats that sorted :D

    I was out last night, at our games evening - it was *excellent*, partly because the wine I bought from my local off licence was 14% alcohol :D

    Today, mmmmm, not sure about the jobs list. Lets see:
    - order the camera :D
    - write out the payment for the managing agent in France - to be posted Wednesday.
    - ring that record shop about my LPs.
    - prepare mystery shop details for this week - I have two.
    - submit that complaint about the doctor, thats to a freepost address, so I can do that today.
    - get some rubbish into the bin, its collection day tomorrow.
    - clean up the patio.
    - finish taking photos, and start to put stuff up for sale on gumtree and on the local newspaper's website.
    - general decluttering :D e.g. checking out a Star Trek Generations computer game :rotfl:

    Oh Shaun. DT. Thank you for letting me know Shaun, I'll head over to her right now, on here, on facebook, anything. God, what a tragedy.
