    I don't think I have any home bargains round me..... I'll check tho, Taxi.

    Hi Red - just on your diary too - it was really funny about the voucher, I'll be off out soon to use it. Its on my list written with a stolen pen :D

    You see, although I'm paranoid :D I'm also a scouser - actually, paranoia goes with the territory, as well as thievery does. Ta-da!


    Typecasting scousers what you like?:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Right! As we also used to say in East Dublin/East New York, "another day, another dollar". And the to-do list reads like this:
    - try to complete phonecall mystery shop.
    - play free bingo
    - pay French taxes :( boo hiss.
    - carry on with the banking listings for my accounts.
    - if I get bored of that, list on ebay. I was just deleting some old emails, and remembered that I'm already registered as a seller - and now that 99p is free, its worth it.

    Just having lunch now, will get stuck in afterwards.

    I shopped for Popeye while I was there, and it amuses me to think that he is wiping his bum with "Darling" :rotfl:toilet tissue

    (I'm easily amused, and your bargain hunting reminded me :D)
