    Half the shop!

    My OH works away for 3.5 months at a time, so before he goes we always do a big shop before he goes. And I mean big. The cupboards and freezer are full to bursting with goodies. :T He hates to think that I've not got enough food and can't afford to buy any. He's got no debts unlike me.

    He was meant to be back a few weeks ago but due to Visa issues, he couldn't come home. As the cupboards were bare and the freezer half full, I had free reign of Asda online! :rotfl::rotfl:

    When he's coming home, I really don't know. There are massive problems gettng his work visa issued and the American Government have stepped in - he works for a company that support the US Forces. So I predict he'll be home at some point next year!:eek:

    That's really carp, hope he's back before then.

    use the very end of the round nose pliers and turn as your half way around slightly bend back the other side and pinch together.

    if you go on the beads direct website theres a video that shows you how to do it. I've just been on there watching them:)

    I always bought ready made fish hook earrings.

    I wonder if it's easier for me to collect Ames on the way? Depends which side of Leeds she is and which side of Braford you are, I guess. I don't mind either way though.

    Girlie road trip!! :j

    :eek: Will there be room for all our 'stuff'?? :rotfl:

    I'm pretty much centre of Leeds, if anything it'd probably be easiest for Lou to pick me up if she's coming through, or for me to pick up Snaggles then go through to Bradford.

    Yay to the road trip, at least we know we've all got good music taste!

    Did you find a top in the end Spud or are you still looking?

    Random, but I love butterscotch shake. :rotfl:

    Don't know about the shake, but I love butterscotch.
    i have m&s apple & blackberry lattice pie and custard!

    I've just bunged an apple crumble in the mini slow cooker, I think I'm going to be up late reading cos I love my book and want to finish it.

    Does anyone know how you multi quote through the whole thread, it only seems to remember the ones I've chosen from the latest page.

    you should be able to still keep going Ames, just click on next page and carry on multi quoting. Could be completely wrong though lol

    I do that Sally but some of them get left behind, I wonder if there's a limit to how many quotes you can put in or something.

    Hmm, I'm actually thinking about trying to get a ticket to the Leeds replay... I should be able to take someone with me for free if I can find anyone. Hmm. Well, I have a couple of days to think about it.
