    Hello :wave:

    I'm back from braving Morrisons and M&S, Morrisons was very busy and not much stock :mad:

    The big M&S at Pudsey wasn't too busy at all and loads on the shelves so I got everything that I needed :T

    Relaxing evening now, hubby has finished work for Christmas but I'm in tomorrow morning. Jess had lots of fun with her friend Izzy today, they loved the Chipmunks film.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    You can try honest john Sally, I don't know if that's the site you meant?

    Linda, I've been to Pudsey asda today! I just wanted juice and cough medicine and spent a tenner... remembered that Aunt Flo's due and so I needed extra supplies, then I remembered I'm running out of paper plates... Mind you, the juice and cough medicine were £4, so I didn't overspend by too much, and I'd have regretted not getting the other stuff if I'd run out!

    I've just bought some stuff on the Book People sale - a book for dad's birthday, £2, a Barcelona guide, £3, and a couple of other bits. 4 books for £9, then another 10% off and free delivery thanks to codes from here, and cashback. I can't believe I've already finished getting dad's birthday presents and it's not till April! I love the grabbit board.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Right, I'm going to curl up under my sofa duvet with HC batons and read a grisly murder mystery.
