    I know 3Dogs. When it happened, and I wanted to just shout and say stuff back, I thought of you, and held my tongue and just played with DS. Although DS has had diarrhoea (sp) since yesterday. So I just played with him and told him to leave his Dad alone, and DS was laughing and lo and behold his Dad appeared as he hates missing out on laughter... a few final words on the matter, and he was semi ok. Said we have ruined the grass, my friend did cut it one layer too short, and I did say it to her, and it is rock hard underneath, whereas before it was soft. Will try and do something to sort it out.

    Not sure DS is going nursery tomorrow, I will have to stay at home with him.

    That's going to be fab! The Dragon! Love it!

    Yes, 3Dogs, he is so sore, he won't tell me he needs his nappy changing. The nursery won't take him if he is not better. They can't risk him infecting the other kids.

    I bought nappies at Tesco today, hopefully will get some DTD back on them! I rushed it today, wasn't allowed much time for studying it.

    It's so funny how the cashiers take it so personally when your bill comes down from £70 to £40. She was going to refuse a coupon I had torn from the newspaper I had bought for free eggs..... I said why, the barcode is intact, it can still be read, I had torn a little a of the writing, tearing it out of the paper.

    (I knew this from Boots days where we used to use multiple coupons, etc.)

    Then she couldn't find the price of the Milky bar Buttons I had a free coupon for.

    Then her face just dropped and dropped as I pulled out my LVs and £10 sorry for hassle Tesco money card, and my conditional spends. She asked her manager, we don't take the sainsbury's ones any more do we? I was just about to argue, 2 weeks ago I was told they took sainsbury's, not the co-op. And her Manager said, swipe it, if it goes through, it is ok, if it doesn't, give it back. Wouldn't take my Waitrose at Boots voucher :( Do you know in this day and age with things so hard, you would think they would be happy for anyone that is saving money.

    Hoping for £20 DTD tomorrow, fingers crossed.....

    Ouch for his sore bot :eek: Well done on the moc's at Tesco :T and good luck for the £20 DTD voucher tomorrow - you don't need to wait for the email - just reinput the details the same place you did today from about 11 am tomorrow and it might already be there :j :j

    Anyway, night night all - a good day today I think - well it was for me :D:D Sleep well - sweet dreams :)

    Morning. Erika has just left. I have had a naughty fry up again and feel very full.

    This is the first morning in ages that my father hasn't rung and I think i am distancing myself from Penny as it is getting a bit disturbing. Erika was great and gave me advice. Gosh what an educational day.

    Aesop jolly pleased that OH has started to come round. I hope little boy is much better and you are having a good day. They promised a heat wave but i am blooming frozen.

    I cancelled meeting up with Penny as I need to rest and do house things and work things and i end up carrying all her shopping and she doesn't listen to me as i dont do anything so I am glad to be at home. I am going to have a doing day and catch up with work and maybe a film and maybe even some ironing.

    I love you guys you all made Erika feel so welcome and i hope she can pop by. PS Erika your advice was so good i feel free and empowered now.

    Does any of my nuttyness make any sense?????

    I am going to reply to something Mr ZDT said yesterday. Rather excited. We are meeting new and funny people all the time and he does write rather well. I do hope he posts on Firewalker's thread he will be very welcome.
