Thanks kadison. I have been around a bit but only just starting to get back to my normal self after catching couple of nastys from DD3 one after the other.

Just need to get a well needed hair cut and re dye my hair now for a good pick me up.

And as we are talking about hair dye, HC do you have a sainsburys near you there were some L'Oreal sublime Mousse hair colours in nice dark shades for £1.75 in my local today. Think if you get one of these you might not need to tie a bow around your head. :rotfl:

Not used this type yet (even after getting a free one last year, still under the bed somewhere!) but think they are a non-drip type because they apply as a foam.

I've already bought the Schwarzkopf stuff as I've used it before, plus there is a man on the box so I presume it's for men too. None of the others I looked at had a man on the box.

I know lots of peeps on this thread having tough times with loved ones at the moment, hugs to you all.

I've had more bad news today my mum has developed pneumonia again in hospital and we are waiting to see how she responds tonight, also my hubbys dad has severe emphysema and is pretty unwell - he made the decision some time ago not to be admitted to hospital and is bed ridden at home - they have started given him methadone he already can self administer morphine, so things not looking good there either.

Sorry to bring the thread down, I have got two parents evenings to get through Mon/Tues 15 parents each night - don't know how I'm going to do it.

I only had 4 coupons after mummys little hick up and I managed to use 4 coupons on the 1 thing. That was the day the SA put the SS in to staff mode for me to scan away til my heart was content.:rotfl:

Ahhhh staff mode! I've had that done for me once and it was the very day I had a mountain of 1p items. The girl couldn't have been nicer. She spotted I had lots to scan and said to stop all the beeps and not have to worry about the scales she'd put it in some special mode. I must have scanned about 50 1p things (chocs & sponges mainly) and not 1 single problem. There are some nice SAs out there.

Thanks.

I made it nice and easy for the SA by putting all the stuff on the belt in order (looked like i had OCD) and laid my coupons down ont he other side in bunches and informed him that I'd done that so he could easily tally what I'd bought with the coupons.

I then put the stuff (still in order) in a big flat fruit box. As he picked up each bundle I showed him in the box what they were for.

He wasn't fazed at all.

I did that with my T.I.T. the other day. You could see his face when he saw the coupons. The first words out of my mouth were "don't worry, they're all safe coupons" as they were the only coupons the store would take according to him & his boss. I kept all the stuff sitting to the side and grouped the coupons as per FK. He was not impressed but what could he say when I said "And here's the 8 coupons for the Lenor and here's the Lenor and here's the coupons for the shampoo and ...." you get the picture.

Looby, I had to stalk you around the forums but I found the WHS thread. I could be tempted if only there were a store close by!

1st bedroom I slept in at the villa complete with Swan towel arrangement





I used photobucket but can't work out how to get them bigger.
The clock had to go I can't stand a ticking clock :mad:

That looks nice, so i'm guessing that wasn't the bad bit. I've only ever seen those towel animals on cruises before, they do a different animal every night (we had a monkey hanging of a hanger once!)

Happy sorry bug you in the bar but I believe your the tech guy??? Can I ask a Q?

If a sd card has had all the pics erased through a digital camera (by a toddler) do you know how to recover them, if they can be at all? I;m gutted I hadnt uploaded them for ages so nearly half my babys life gone

Probably not. You could try some file recovery software but the cheaper or free versions will be a hit or a miss. To do it correctly would be to pay a professional to do it and that will cost money. Even then that's a hit or a miss too.

Try plugging the memory card in to your computer and see if they show. Whilst the memory card is plugged in check the contents of your recycle bin. I have known in the past that when I've deleted something on a memory card then plugged it in to my Mac the deleted items either appear in a 'recycled/trash' folder on the card or in the recycle bin itself.

If only they were all like that, but then wouldn't it be rather boring for us. Part of the the thrill of it is the chase.:rotfl::rotfl:

Hair dye is hair dye to me, woman, man or both on the box. But yes these did have a woman on the front but one of the shades was just like colour of your hair in pic you uploaded to here on one of the previous threads. If you are doing it yourself who would know who was on the box but I guess it is what ever you are comfortable with.

I just thought there might have been a difference between male and female hair. I'm going darker than my natural colour. Jet black!

That would be great! Has anyone tried to use safe coupons in superdrug before?I think I will try tomorrow! It lets you print 2 as well...

Forgot to say thanks to OP for this coupon, any coupon that makes a product free is perfect!!!

I've got two of them, you can get two off the L'Oreal site as well for their stuff.

3Dogs - Mr 3dogs shouldn't apologise for sleeping, an op takes the wind out of your sails and he'll sleep loads for a couple of weeks yet, which is good as the body can recover.

((((hugs)))) to you for your ongoing tough times xxx

FloFlo - sorry to hear about your mum and father-in-law, and you're not bringing the thread down at all ((((hugs)))) xx
