    Mumto5 have you tried asking Coast to ring around their stores? I used to do this all the time for customers when I worked for them as a student, and we offered a Coast by Post system if we managed to track one down.

    I thought they did this but when I rang the Debenhams helpline no as it said on the website to do they were spectacularly unhelpful. I explained I couldn't drive and could I get a store to post it to me and was told no.

    NEWSFLASH

    DS1 has dislocated his little toe. It's not pretty. DH is taking him to A&E

    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    I also did the tesco's price checker during the week and they have sent me double the difference vouchers to the value of £5.50 so I am happy with that! all those who shop at tesco's either in store or online should check each time, it is simple honest, if I can work out how to do it you all can!!

    Its not complicated at all and i have a cupboard full of stuff that was either free or Mr T has paid me to take away:T:T:T:T

    Missed all you guys:( Been so busy, nearly finished my exams so i will be back in the fold as of next saturday:) My house is like a pit so i need to get back on that flying horse ASAP.

    Hope everyone is ok:A

    Long day

    Nice to spend time with just DH and DS3 - sorted out our olympics plans and started planning next years holiday.

    Squash was stressful and DS3 lost the plot like I feared but is fine now eating pizza.

    Mumto5 hope DS1 is ok

    SSL hope your headache has gone

    Hugs to the rest of you especially Toots and LL brain has gone to mush

    Hi guys. Haven't had time to catch up so (((hugs))), fluffy mules and spoons to all in need.

    Drove down to South of France in blazing sunshine. Oz NOT happy spending best part of 3 days in the car stuck next to a compressor. Can't say I blame him.

    This morning - first day of holiday. Raining. Although looks like its raining in Glasgow as well so not much difference.

    Flying today. 2 x shopping trips (one am. Then did lunch and only 5 managed to munch through what I'd planned for 2 lunches for 7:() so out again pm. Everything closed until Tuesday so needed lots - I'm used to planning for large numbers for 24 hrs or able to shop. Will have to see how I get on.

    Now waiting for final 2 to arrive and for everyone else to finish faffing before I feed them. Everyone was supposed to be back 2 hrs ago. One lot just back. 2 en route not expected for another hr. Must resist the white wine on an empty stomach:rotfl:

    2 dinner options prepped for tonight, and tomorrow's dinner made. Just need to arrange picnic for tomorrow. They are all off diving. I'm staying here with the dog. Must work:eek:

    Take it easy LW.
