April 2011 Grocery Challenge

Hi

£2.99 spent in $uperdrug on some BOGOF mouthwash yesterday, then £1 in Mr S. I don't know if it's just my Mr S, but they seem to be giving 50 bonus Nectar points with each spend, regardless of how much is spent. So I've spent £2 in total (£1 each on 2 different occasions) and received 108 points altogether. Not to be sniffed at!

It was someone at works leaving lunch today so £9.10 was spent at Nand0s

Sorry to hear that people are struggling at the moment.

Mothership: I would also send some flowers to your half sister. I'm surprised you manage to appear so sane. It sounds like you've been through a real tough time, but you're pulling through and staying strong. My thoughts are with you.:A

Hippiechiq: Hopefully the powers that be see sense and realize the implications of the decisions they have made for your daughter.

Muffinman - I also hope that things get better for soon - it's always one thing after another when things start going wrong, but please try as much as possible to stay positive

And finally Roseiben - I forgot to say congrats on your new grandson. You must be elated!

Sorry if I missed anyone out

Hi,
Just popped on to say to Mothership that if you can't get there perhaps a nice long phone call to your sister and a card to arrive a few days later would be a nice idea - perhaps some continuing support for her would be appreciated more?

Take some time to be nice to yourself too though! You need hugs too even if you may feel ok about it all now.

Thank you! We chat quite a lot and are 'there' for each other, the card is a really nice idea, I will do that as well, I will arrange for the flowers to arrive the day of the funeral and the card to follow on a few days later, I'm trying to ease the way for her, the poor lass, she's the same age as my eldest daughter, hopefully she will see that if she wasn't wanted there its better that she doesn't go, there's one other sister that seemed to take great delight in telling her her mother was dead and she wasn't supposed even to be told she had passed. I don't know what's worse her mothers wish or the daughter going against her last wishes.

Mothership, if you are looking to send them, then I can highly recommend Bunches. I always use them, their prices are reasonable, the flowers and plants are always good, I have always had people ring me to say how lovely they are and when I have had them from there they have always been excellent. Best of all I do it through Top Cash Back and get money back and there is usually a money off code on there to.

Oh no!! Another earthquake!! Breaking news on BBC is that Japan is to prepare itself for another tsunami! Hopefully it will not neat the expectations of being a metre high inland. It was 7.5 on the scale so quite a biggy

Thank you so much for this, I usually go to a local florist , this is much better, I like the flowers every month for a year offer, now that would cheer anyone up

Evening everyone, this thread moves far faster than I can keep up with these days so just general good wishes to all. Adding in £2.90 I spent the other day on some eggs, milk and tomatoes. Stupid expensive shop.
