OK ... if you buy something with a gift card and return it do you get cash or a credit on a new or existing gift card?

had a boring but accident free night tonight
took the kids from our community centre to a local rec centre where they done a multi sports thing and then lazer quest (lazer gun combat thing) All I had to do was sit and watch, they had sports coaches in showing them what they'd to do.

No T's for me for the next few days, being kept pretty busy.
Tomorrow I'm at a course to teach us how to do simple activity days with our after school kids, nothing too complicated but we get loads of coffee and some lunch while we're there
Then it's school run and afterschool club.

On Thursday DS has volunteered me to help with the class trip to Parliment Buildings at Stormont, never been inside before but would love to go and told DS this so he told the teacher that I'd be able to help :eek: Then I have a meeting at 3pm with DSes teacher to discuss his behaviour and his problems with English work.
I'll be exhausted by the end of these two days but still hope to use someones wifi to print off more MOCs that "DS" earned on SSM last night, only took me an hour and a half to get all 41 stickers :rotfl:

Anyway bed for me as have to be up early tomorrow to get DS to school and be at the community centre for 9am!

Goodnight all!

thanks
well obviously i'm not bad at guessing
guessed all 10 and got 4 right and i beat caz :eek::eek::eek::eek::T:T:T

That made me :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Normal service shall be resumed tomorrow. No real bargains today though I did buy a top for DS2 saying Lepre ... lepra ... hold on while I Google how to spell it ... Leprechaun in training :D He was born on Paddy's Day so a very good reason to celebrate it this year and to scar my boy for life in the process! My kids will love me when they see their baby snaps :rotfl:

Oh and I should mention that WHSmith in Belfast is closing this Sunday for good. They had all their greetings cards reduced to 99p. They also are no longer WHS but have been bought over by Eason. Lord knows why but they're still trading as WHS and have all the signage still in place so the deal was a no go for me Still, 22 good quality cards for 99p each isn't to be sniffed at. I even bought my parents anniversary cards. No literally, I bought my dad a card that says "To my wife" and I bought mum "To my husband". How romantic :rotfl:

I think the local folk will join me in saying, we need a decent glitch that we can participate in :mad: I did wonder why the WHS site only mentioned 2 stores, one in Belfast City Airport and one in Londonderry. We have a rubbish selection of Ts, excess postage charges and no WHS for all these regular glitches that apparently happen. I'm emigrating!

Just saw it and gave it the thumbs up. I can't post comments at the moment because I won some of the Love To Shop Vuchers and I am scared in case some idiot reports my post and I lose them. But I can give thumbs up!

whats a milkman ?

great deal cattysmum , many thanks .:)

We are lucky enough to have a milkman in our village and I am very proud to buy my basic everyday supplies from him, (then I get additional bits from Mr T).

Milkmen are brilliant, they supply something wonderful (milk on your doorstep when you get up for your breakfast, how great is that ?), they don't make ridiculous money, and they are the quiet silent reassuring presence, the eyes of the decent community early in the morning, the friend of the elderly and the lonely. I think milkmen (and ladies) are something really special and unique to this country and we should be proud of them. If they're not depicted in the Olympics opening ceremony, they b..... well should be!

Sorry, I'll go and lie down now...
