I fed my cats with one of the three free chickens that Lidl were giving away yesterday.
Hate myself for not being able to carry more since there were 3 customers in there and about 50 chucks in need of a home for nothing lol

What a find! I was in Brighton yesterday and things in Co-op were going cheap (not chickens!) and I would have loaded up the car, should it have not been filled up with my mate's bloody shopping and christmas presents!
At least you got 3 for free... that's fab!Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.0 -
Morning people!
Well today's plan include:- start repainting the kitchen with my friend
- visit homebase for the discount
- maybe going to the cinema later and use my card
- regift some of my bath smellies to my friend - i don't have a bath, seems pointless me keeping hold of them!
- think about paying in a christmas cheque!
