    Oh your poor hand. Are you still in a lot of pain with your back too?

    I've told DS I am trying to get him a playhouse, so getting homebase vouchers. Only problem is I have a 20% discount card that expires end this month but none of my local homebases have it in stock :( oh to have a car at times like this.

    No Aesop, my back is OK at the moment ;)

    Could you get it online? Or find it at another store and get them to bring it to your local store?

    not been available to buy online for months, only in store, no home delivery. Not sure if another store will deliver to my stores, but worth asking.

    Morning everyone and a nice sunny morning it is too, though we had a little rain overnight and I think we will have more later

    Had my shower and breakfast and about to get ready to go to my slimming class

    Hope everyone has a good day, even those of you who are working today

    Good Morning from 3Dogs ;)

    Hiya Aesop, Marru & Puddings :D:D

    Bad News - I'd gained another 3 pounds when I got weighed this morning :o:o :eek: :eek: :(:(

    Good News - went shopping at Mr T's when I picked up the remainder of my friend's presciption and bought:

    2 x 6 packs of Mullerlights BOGOF so 12 yoghurts for £3.29
    3 Bottles of Beer £1.89 each for Mr 3Dogs on 3 for 2 so £3.78 less 50p coupon - £3.28 for 3 or £1.09 each
    2 x Dettol No-Touch Hand Wash REFILLS for £2.96 each BUT used 2 x £3 off coupons which are actually for the machine itself, not for refills ;) so got another 8p off my shopping
    400 gms Strawberries £1.99 with free tub of single cream worth 40p :o
    2 boxes of Tesco's Finest Belgian Chocolate Assortment 200 gms reduced from £3 or £4 to £1.25
    Liptons Mint and Spice Tea Infusions for £1 less 50p coupon so 50p
    Sharwoods Korma Curry Sauce 420 gms £1.20 but had coupon for free jar so they took £1.55 off my bill ;)

    I also got 3 items from whoopsies shelf which were well reduced

    Total before offers £28.52
    After Tesco offers £23.14
    so used a Sainsbury's £3 off £20 spend voucher
    so after this and the other MOC's my final bill was for £11.59 :money: :money:

    ME IS A HAPPY 3DOGS ME IS :j :j :j :j :j :j :j

    Thanks Aesop and boult - and another task done, we have just set up our wifi all-in-one printer and scanned a document and saved it as a file on the computer - I've never done that before :o so I can now scan my receipts to send weekly to Shop and Scan to get an extra 500 points :j :j :j :j

    Mr 3Dogs is going to start switching the engine over on the van tomorrow - yippee - but :eek: :eek: to the £200 the engine is costing :(. Never mind, it will be so good having the van on the road again :D

    yay :j

    worked out how to do mine! so have started scanning stuff.

    work said I can work from home to make up my 3 days, have only managed 2 hours so far, even though DH thought I started at 3pm.

    It's a nightmare! I have been reading minutes of meetings and found out we have an audit next week and I don't have a record of it! so nothing has been prepped and I am not back at work until monday!

    and reading more minutes, have been lumbered with more work and no one has told me! and I am supposed to be keeping some kind of record? I'm not and don't! I swear they make me work 5 days in 3 days!

    off to S with DS and then might take him to playground if no one around. I need fresh air!

    oops, oh yes, pft to van engine! come and join the £10 a day challenge again 3Dogs, mind you, you probably don't need the challenge, all the money you are saving with your great shopping ;)
