    looks ok to me ,need to look around for a price for my
    my home /contents so might get a few quotes thanks


    Don't use my link CL if you decided to apply for it. To seach the price yes go ahead by all mean.

    To buy do go directly to TCB you get £60 cashback if you decided to go with Aviva.

    But before that get £1ish by going thru TCB compare insurace website can't remember whats the name but its on the list. It will tell you which insurance company give you a better quote.

    I got churchill thru that compare website for £109.18 (home & content) me wanna see how much Aviva going to quote me as their rep will be calling me in 2 wks time to see if he can do anything for me. I told him why I didn't want to go via them due to cashback he said they will match also b'cos I have car insurance with them I'll get better deal too but I doubt they will give me less than £109.00:rotfl:


    @ Aesop, I cclean still get the same format:(:(:(:(:(:( me no, no what to do now:o. It can't be co-incident that my home pc, my lappy and my office pc come up with the crazy format!
    RIP my dear dear parent : Mum aged 62 (17/5/1990) & Dad aged 89 (23/1/2012)

    If anyone is panning to get any baby items, tomorrow is the last day of their baby event (as per shelf label)...;)

    Today went to get something from Boots to use points on OH's card, which were given in Living social deal....(1500 points!) but all points vanished....!!!!!!!!!!

    Don't know whether it had got any expiry date to use it.....:(

    Thanks AH, I'll remember that.

    Your last sentence - well not sure to be honest :( My kittens are making me happy, OH has created a space in the garden for a memorial place which makes me happy, and we have booked a holiday (first in many years!), an the thought of that makes me happy just, Oh, I dont know, nothing much is the same any more. My dipping my toes back into the "real" world doing some voluntary work with has failed miserably, I seem to have lost my way, lost my role. Feel a relentless gnawing sense of sad; Im getting on my own t*ts! lol Keep torturing myself with what ifs... and wondering this
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ne3cz9eUsQ and I cant shake it off!

    Anyway, sorry moan over.

    On a lighter note - where have all the coupons gone? That's not the same either!

    Wow, what a lovely song, but so sad. I have never heard it before but loved it.
  • Thanks AH for your pm.

    The song is Kenny Chesney (he married Renee Zelwegger a few years ago and it was annulled I think). I find it quite by accident myself and for me it sums up my life right now! It is beautiful indeed.

    The opening lyrics "Sunny days they hurt the most" is particularly poignant as it was a beautifully sunny day in August 2009 that I had the visit one can only dread from a police officer. I think the sunny weather we have been enjoying has catapulted me back to then. There I was, sat in the garden, in my bikini top with all my excess bulging out, sorting my coupons with the help of some iced Jacques. I heard the knock at the door and felt initially irritated! I recognised a police uniform through the glass and nearly wet myself as I was wearing several sizes too small bikini top, jacques dripping off my chin and my first thought was OMG, what's OH done? then Oh no, the cars been stolen! I opened the door and in a few moments my world crashed around me and whilst the pain is duller now, like a niggly toothache that just won't completely go, I will never ever come to terms with such sadness. Most of the time these days I heal the hurt with chocolate (bet you I have the most birthdays with Kenco, lol), my furry friends, and the love of my OH, DD2 and DD3.

    Sorry guys, don't want to knock the smiles out of your sunny days. Sometimes its easier to let it all out on a keyboard! Invisible!

    Now then, Whiskas to reinstate their mog-meat mocs would indeed make me happy and soften my soulful mood right now.

    Who wants to kick me up the butt then...
    Love, through the trees, past the sky, beyond the northern lights; and I won't let go. May your soul and spirt fly sweetheart x

    My alphabet-girls are with me every step of the way x

    The marriage was annulled due to fraud. We never found out what the fraud was.

    It might be worthwhile contacting Boots Customer Service about it. AFAIK there is no expiry date for the points added to your Boots account, it is only the LS voucher which had the expiry date. HTH.

    Evening all:)

    What another scorcher

    Jeferey you must get so much pleasure from growing your own produce, the nearest we get is a couple of chilli plants on the window sill and few strawbery plants. We bought some tomato grow bags 2 years back they sat in the garden all good intentions and they sat there and sat there :eek:. We not that great in the garden:(

    IS how frustrating about the boots card :mad:
