Best wishes to everyone who needs them :grouphug: We need a slightly less dodgy looking hug smilie I think.

Ames - I took a leaf out of your book, went to town instead of Mr S and did the taste test in two Starbucks . One gave me the instant only, the other gave me a bit of both. I got two vouchers so assume I can now treat myself to two free lattes in the next few weeks :j I did have to (well, felt pressured into) buy the coffee in the second shop (just the 3 pack for £1.20 ish, but still cheaper than a tall coffee).

I think I might try the concession in Mr S on the way home tomorrow and see if they are doing the trial.

I also went to town and got a free Liz Earle hot cloth cleanser sample from John Lewis http://www.womanandhome.com/articles/yournetwork/444027/free-liz-earle-cleanse-polish-hot-cloth-cleansers-for-1-000-readers.html - I got it from the grabbit board I think. I've fancied trying this sort of cleanser on and off for about 2yrs so am excited to get it free.

I then celebrated with a trip to the car wash (£5 for hand wash and dry with 6th wash free so £4.16 per wash really). I can't do it myself as I have a circulatory disorder which makes me ultra sensitive to temperature changes and is too painful to get wet outside unless it is a hot summer day. I'm trying to go there every week or two to clean all the road salt etc off the car.

I also went to the chinese supermarket I'd never been in before and got 5l of white vinegar for £2.80 - half the price of Asda and more eco friendly as less packaging.

Better go get the washing in as it is getting dark Back in a bit

I've got a H Mc who I don't know who it is.

Snaggles

Ames, I think HMc might be Clairewop?

SRM, I think that's Lizzie-B

Snaggles

Luc, your update post made me laugh yesterday, hadn't realised gardening would ease frustrations! :rotfl:

I might not be completely behaving though...

My fingers hurt a bit now from hanging up the replacement washing load in the dark - just that slightly painful thawing feeling, nothing to moan about really. Am really pleased to have another load out tho - hoping it does not rain overnight - should probably have checked before hanging up the load!

Now for tasty tea
