    It is cheaper, but then I don't have time in the evenings to prepare so many meals. Maybe one or two but certainly not all. I tried this last month and ended up having to throw some stuff away as it went off before the weekend. The difference is about €1-2.

    Also, they like to have a couple days notice before delivery so the next available one is Saturday.

    And, most importantly, I'm far less likely to use the 'i'm too tired' excuse on a Saturday. lol (I know myself and my excuses pretty well! haha):rotfl::rotfl:


    Haha ok, worth the extra money then :D Knowing me, I'd still end up doing nothing with it all weekend!!

    Hello everybody,

    Hope you are all ok and looking forward to the weekend :D I've made another of my £7 pads today but I received my CC statment and the balance is now sitting at £2098 - which means that when I do my end of November round up it should be in the ONE thousands rather than the TWO thousands. Yay me :beer:

    On a slightly less good note, I am having to chase up a delivery that I bought from Topman as part of the b/f's present. I bought it a while ago and was wodering why it hadn't been delivered yet; looked on the tracking link in the email and apparently it had been delivered, the note said posted through letterbox at 11.14 on saturday morning. Now I know for a fact that this is a lie as I was in all day on saturday and nobody rang the bell; secondly we don't even HAVE an accessible letterbox - the postman has a master key to access the communal areas but other deliveries have to ring the bell or leave a card (PITA at times but hey). So I've been on at top man to sort it out. Grrrr :mad:

    Anyway less of the ranting. I'm looking forward to some slow cooker lamb stew for tea, yum yum!!

    Need the umphh from my first month of padding back, anyone with any information with regard to its whereabouts please pm me.:D

    You'll probably find your 'umphh' disappeared around about the time your beautiful son arrived, which just happened to coincide with sleepless nights! :p Give yourself time and i'm sure you'll back to it with a vengeance ;)
    One step at a time ;)

    OOh South Staffs my homeland went to school in Lichfield whereabouts are you?

    DTxx

    Sorry it has taken me so long to reply - it has taken me a while to catch up with this thread!

    I suppose if I am being absolutely accurate I should say South East Staffs, seeing as that is the parliamentary constituency! I am in Tamworth. I was actually born and bred in North Warwickshire, but as you probably realise that is only a couple of miles away!

    Whereabouts are you? Have a remembered rightly that you are in the North East somewhere? I lived in Middlesbrough for 4 years when I was a student.

  • Ta Da!!

    Well the saga of the Pinsentry (aka Card Reader) has been solved.

    I hunted the house high and low and had a massive tidy up and still I could not find it. OH says to ring Co-op to ask for another when DD (age 6) says 'oh I think it is in my room' and up she goes and promptly brings it downstairs.
    I had been looking for it all day and as she is at home with swine flu knew this so why did she not say anything earlier in the day?!!?!

    Turns out she had found it and taken a liking to it so took it to her room and wrote all over the box!!!

    Anyway I have it here now so I have made a PAD of £29.71.

    This is £19.71 for PAD's so far this month and £10.00 I won on bingo.
