    Got my last piece of luggage today, thanks for the vouchers peeps...finsihed up getting, 2 large suitcases, 1 cabin case, 1 rucksack and 1 toilet bag....

    the rucksack took my total to just over £125, but with vouchers and mocs paid £77...used a £5 off £40 and a £6 off £60.....very funny when SA said ' thank you Mrs Doc' as the £6 one had Docs name on it...lol....but as using Tesco Credit card she never handled that so couldn't see me real name but did use 5 mocs T' s had sent me and they had mine and hubby;s name on them, but she scanned them without looking at them, she only studied the £6 off £60 and commented how lucky I was to have it....fortunately have got quite a few more of them to use that Doc did not want....:beer: Doc....:T:T:T:A

    BTW, my T's had dates ( bogof) 2 for 50p....and they re delicious, as are the £1 cherries....finding it so hard to resist eating them all.

    Glad you are able to use them Bully. You are welcome anytime.;)

    Am really struggle using them £6 wys £60:eek: unless I keep returning stuff which ain't good since they know me so well:D:D


    Am also struggle to use £5 wys £40 till spit luckily CW asked for them.

    I can only barely use the £3 wys £20 till spit today. That too I had to return £8 stuff cos' I don't want it:rotfl: just top it up to use the conditional spend moc.

    Did not get another till spit for £3 wys £20 which means my JTD will only come back £3-£4ish (can't remember now as the amount is too small comparing to where I used to be able to get £15 onwards) and thats me done with Tekco. Luckily I only paid 60p for £12ish goods.;)


    Now I have to go back to my old style - shop @ Asda, Home Bargain, Poundland and maybe B&M store (only think is they are in the middle of the town center & carpark cost £1 an hour! ain't going there if I can't find a free parking nearby) for all the usual branded stuff.

    It's a good job I have plenty of : washing liquid, bold, fairy, persil, kitchen papers, toilet rolls, domestos, dettol hand wash, toothpaste, shavers, body wash, shampoo, conditional, loreal to name some from my shareholder stores. Some will last me at least 18 months & some years!:rotfl:.

    Yes FV - don't be a silly moo:D we are family now :beer:


    Got an email from Go-Cat to print coupon net voucher I think its 50p off have not print it yet. Do you want me to print Blue?

    Bully,

    Use your fob key to scan that way they will not be able to know - choose your cashier wisely and you can use more than 1 of their clubcard moc on the same week same transaction.

    Why do you think I can afford to pay so little - I used to get 3 to 4 conditional spend sent to my office & home addresses.

    Week 1 - I managed to use :

    £9 wys £60, £5 wys £40, £3 wys £30 etc & my max. spend is £60 not £130;)
    plus all my JTD mocs.


    Week 2 - Repeat week 1.

    Cashier never bat an eye;) they just scanned, scanned, scanned.:rotfl:

    Ok time to watch opening ceremony now that they nearly finished yapping!!!
    RIP my dear dear parent : Mum aged 62 (17/5/1990) & Dad aged 89 (23/1/2012)

    FV I can't imagine what you have been through it is every parents worst nightmare to lose a child . I am dreadful as it is when the kids go on trips at school or when I hear someone else's child is Ill I get nervy and feel sick and can't sleep etc and that's when nothing is actually happening.

    If it isn't too sore your little one could try swilling a little salty warm water in her mouth (spitting out of course) I know when I have had probs with gums &teeth and that's been a lot at times this has always helped heal and keep it clean etc.

    You are in all our thoughts at the mo and from the sounds of it I think you are strong enough to get thru this kids don't think about the future at that age which is very fortunate.

    Keep strong and look after yourself too

    I understand that both the Conservatives AND the Liberal Democrats are trying to persuade him to join their party and stand for parliament with the view to becoming party leader and PM at the next election ....

    ... given he appears to have important attributes that of our current ruling politicians lack.

    Is this the next PM ?

    Just a word of warning quoia, you won't be able to do your wombling without being noticed if you become the next pm :eek::eek::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I'm loving the tivo box tonight as I can pause the opening ceremony and watch something I have recorded then press play on tv and fast forward carp parts of the opening ceremony. A lot of the ceremony is fab, but bits of music ain't to my taste. I think they have done a fab job so far though, just wish the Queen would smile.:cool:
    Be thankful for what you have because it could all be taken away tomorrow.;)
