    Hi EH :wave: Nice to have you back! :D How have you been?

    Crochet class still hasn't been organised :o But I have been teaching myself off Youtube in the meantime. I'm yet to find it relaxing :rotfl: I'm sure I will do though when I get the hang of it.

    £350 to the CC today :) That will be the last of the big payments for a while.

    Have fallen out with Tescos again! After the last fiasco I hadn't used them again but the £50 voucher they gave us last time after I complained was expiring soon so we decided to use it. Guess what - they were half an hour late, we had to call to chase them and they forgot half the stuff! We ended up having chinese takeaway at 10:45 last night! We decided not to get irate and they are so useless we ended up laughing. I'm going to ping them another email to let them know but this time we really won't be using them again.

    Well done for not getting irate - I have fallen out with them too but just cos I have fallen out with all supermarkets - they are all robbing so and so's!

    Well done on the big payment, next one of those and it'll be wiped out! Small ones in the mean time will keep you on your toes.

    They are aren't they, DF! :mad: Oh well, we're going to try Waitrose next and see how that works out. They are the only one's we haven't tried yet. And there is a new Morrisons opening near here soon so will try them too.

    And I will defnitely still be sending them the small payments, wouldn't want them to forget me ;)

    Oh and can't remember if I mentioned it - the Ombudsman has accepted that we have a complaint against the electric company and are going to investigate so that's good news :)

    We do have a Lidl but it's really small - we get some stuff from there but it's not big enough to do a full shop.

    They do have some excellent bargains though :) Me and one of the customers at the pub swap notes on the own brand stuff we've tried and whether it's good or not :o

    Hoping to get home to some parcels after work today. If enough stuff has arrived then I can get crafting :)

    Also, I am going to OH's parents for a BBQ on Sunday and his Mum is going to help me with some crocheting :)
