    morning all ...totally agree with CW re your leg AH, sounds as though you may have chipped the shin bone, I would get it checked out.......welcome KCF...re Spuds I'm currently getting Halfords vouchers with mine, then using them for oil in readiness for the 'winter service' oil change....also wait until the oil is on offer, usually has £10 off at some point in the year.....re SSM, I'm still waiting for £50 L2S and £25 RLD, not giving up on them, reckon they will be here this month ......
    Lost another 2 lbs this week , feeling a lot better.Having a day at Blenheim 1st of June ( afternoon tea too, courtesy of my Pepsi win , Buyagift mocs) DIL's folks will be over from New York , we've not seen them since we all met up in Las Vegas....she is about a size 4 and is a few years younger than me, she gets up everyday at 5 am, excercises until 6am , then has 'cawfee' and goes to work, home at 4pm and then jogs round the park for an hour , eats very little and is in bed by 9pm...her hubby was the Mayor and she slimmed down for all the official functions and has stayed that way...when we were in LV we went along to their room just after 9am to arrange meeting up later in the day and he was out running and she had already been to the gym, even on holiday they make excercise their priority!!!!!!!!!!!

    Welcome KCF!
    SJ - sorry to hear your news, hope you get sorted soon.
    AH - get well soon, you need to for the trip to NY. We can't wait :)!
    Morning all, I actually bought a couple of Wright's bread mixes yesterday at M's - we love the sundried tomato one and they were only 50p after the 30p off coupon. We've still got loads of other flavours from the previous coupon :D. Haven't bought any bread for weeks, loving our new bread maker (courtesy of TCB).
    Have to say I'm having more success with my machine too...using the 'quick bake' makes it much , much better.....I did a ciabatta yesterday and it was very good....got them when the mocs were valid.

    Yay I have just hit my first 2000 spuds so happy

    Do most of you guys convert them to amazon vouchers ? Do they have a good date on them? It's just I'm thinking about stuff I can keep to help at Xmas already.

    I always choose Amazon vouchers as they email you the code so they arrive quicker and can't get lost in the post. Then I buy cheap ink with the dosh. HTH :)

    Morning All!

    Thanks for posting this.
    I have submitted the code... just hope I get it as I will be booking tickets soon.
    Do you get a message after entering the code - nothing seemed to happen. I know they email you later but expected some sort of immediate acknowledgement.

    Size 4? that's American size right? Whats the UK size for that? 6 or 8? If my OH is a mayor and attending all those free functions, I would be slim too, to make meself looks BEAUTIFUL!!!!! :cool: and do all those exercise & eat posh food:D

    You obv haven't got the right kind of job Aesop. You need a job like my sis where you can sit all day posting carp on mse and doing comps then with increased work days you would be increased carp posting:cool: .

    I think its time for me to change job/company. Me boss is getting very greedy now & there is only so much we can do (my colleague & myself). Keep telling us that if we don't make at least £80k/ month he might consider shutting down the company :mad::mad: we are sick of hearing him trying to frighten us with company closure as he is basically semi-retire now.

    Can't wait for him to do that to be honest. But don't think he will, cos' to do that, he will have to pay us loadsa loadsa redundancy dosh :j

    Me & my colleague are not worry as we have 2 options open for us : 1. an existing company offered us a job with them or 2. A very rich guy offered to set up the business for us & will pay us double our wages.;)
