    2 x £50 spends and with other bits and pieces around £30 points. Something will be going back, around £18.Managed to get DS's gf a good hairdryer, 2 other presssies, some much-needed make up and lots of toiletries on offer/with extra coupons etc. :T



    Also spent £18 on a bargainous 50ml bottle of pefume (Amor Amor) to use when travelling :o.

    So, back from London and had rest of HM soup for dinner. Fancied a banana. Thought we didn't have any. Found we did. V happy. Banana was all soft and mushy. V sad.

    That is all.

    I'll tell Mrs E about that, thanks! How does the cost of the Boots atomiser compare to others? From dim and distant memory, I think Mrs E spent about £7 on her last one? Still, free perfume is a good balancer...

    t'was £9.99 if memory serves, which is a good deal considering you get the perfume of your choice (I should have thought smart and gone for something expensive like dior :D )

  • I had a nasty banana today too, the fruit bowl was very bleak looking and it was the best I could do! It was all mushy ...yuk
