Morning everyone
Haven't been following the thread(s!) for a while and couldn't catch up so thought I'd best just jump in where I am!
I was wondering if the SSM coupons you're talking about are from the mission control thing on FB? I can't work out how you're getting so many coupons!0 -
Good morning everyone, raining up north
Have to take DS's out later, but think T's beforehand would be a very good idea
Nice to see Nikkilala online last night, but do take it easy still!
Hope all those working today have a stress free dayThe mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work unless it's open0 -
Morning all!
I've been busy buying stamps online, have stocked up now for about the next 5 years :rotfl:
Have a good day all, I've got my SW weigh-in later then I'm on hunger strike from 9pm and on pepsi max strike from midnight, got a fasting blood test tomorrow :eek: Hope my numbers have improved, my last HbA1c was 8.4% and any diabetic on here will know that's not good, my cholesterol was 6.2 as well so I'm hoping for under 7% and under 5.0 respectively, fingers crossed but any improvement is always good!

I sold a pair of shoes on Ebay and the buyer asked if she could collect so I met her 1st. I ordered 2 pairs, unsure of the sizing, when they were reduced to £2. They sold for £18
Returned my 10 sun sprays from a goldie DTD.
Next stop Swarovski as a crystal keeps coming out of the ring I bought 18 months ago. I absolutely adore their jewellery but it's so overpriced. Luckily the 2 year guarantee is still valid so it's being repaired again. I said to the SA that next time I want a refund! She said NO! I can only have it repaired or exchange it:mad: (they don't sell it anymore and it matches a necklace Mum bought me)
Boots - 5 x Nice n Easy conditioners with SSM coupons
WHSmith - 8 cards before being stopped! Didn't get the 25% off thoughbut I can't complain! I chose more expensive cards again this time, I think it means I'm sorted for all planned events this year including the birth of my cousin's baby girl in May and another cousin's wedding in September (wedding acceptance, congrats on your wedding day and a wedding day money wallet :rotfl::p) They ran out of the promotional giftcards but another SA went to ask the manager if they could use regular ones instead :jUnfortunately I didn't have all my promo ones with me so once I'd used the 2 I did have, I had to break into the non-promo ones I was buying. My total is now £197.61 :T(only £45 on promo) and I have about 60 cards (a lot of which are larger, dearer cards) I did 2 cards 1st then went back for 6 more. I was chatting to the SA (young girl) and said I might get a few more but as I walked away I overheard the other SA ask 'She wasn't buying giftcards with giftcards was she?!!' :eek: So I scarpered! :cool:
Nice free samples in Hotel Choc and Thorntons....hardly any eggs left in either!!!!!!!! :eek:
Back to T's to return a fair few items of clothing/boots I'd bought in the sale and hadn't the chance to try on instore. SA refunded me for the more expensive pair of jeans so an extra £1.50 off the items I kept :j

DTD of £59.94 given and it's a GOLDIE :j
I was umming and ahhing for ages over whether to go for DTD as CS guy had given me DTD before (albeit last summerYes I get worried, I'm sure I have one of 'those' faces!
) I'm so glad I did, he couldn't have been nicer....didn't even check the sel :eek: just handed me it and said to his mate he couldn't be bothered :beer:So SEL still there....(QOC I'm pm'ing you in a sec
)
Everyone was queueing for whoopsies but they were no better than usual, definitely not crazy prices. I was too late at A'sAll I got was some nice ham for 10p for the dogs. M's returned something that took me over for a cond spend last week, again too late for whoopsies.
Then back to my M's and :j:j:j:j:jCouldn't believe it I was sure there would be nothing. Just as I got through the door at 8:15pm, an SA wheeled out a trolley of sandwiches with todays date, all 9p each. They're lovely sandwiches too, not what's normally left for whoopsies! So I had about 8 packs, clementines 25p, large bag carrots 25p, 2 whole rotisserie chickens 49p each, s/w turkey 9p, s/w filler 5p, 3 steak pies 5p each, 2 pizza express pizzas 9p each. And the best bit was that they'd cleared out the fresh to go salad bar... so I had 4 large tubs (usually £2.49) and 2 extra large trays (usually £2.99) for 54p. Total = £3.53 :j Gorgeous array of food too; oriental chicken noodles, mediterranean chicken pasta, potato salad with wholegrain mustard and sausageSo we're living off cold salads and sandwiches for a few days!
Onto my T's and all that was left was bakery whoopsies at 85% off. 2 loaves of finest crusty bread and a few packs of cakes came to 75p or 8p after a couple of wombles:D
Then home for a lie down :rotfl::rotfl:
Wowee, can I come shopping with you?! :rotfl:

Oh that was you was it? :rotfl:
I am soooooo going to be looking for someone doing that from now on!SpiralingDown wrote: »All hell's broke loose up at hospital, baby's dad tried to get in at this time of night!!!!
He demanded to be let in to see his son but the other kids on the ward were asleep and so was my cousin so as they had never seen him before they refused to let him in, and quite right too otherwise some stranger could do the same.
He ended up being removed by security but he then went in by A&E to get to him and barged past the nurses as they were leaving the ward. He checked in every room, opening all the doors so one of the other dads, who was staying with his own kid, lifted him and took him out of the ward for the nurses. By this time everyone on the ward was awake, my cousin spotted him and told the nurse who he was but security told them both that he wasn't going to be allowed to stay on the ward at this time of night.
He got in to see the baby but then refused to leave, he phoned the cops saying the nurses were taking his baby off him!!!!
Eventually the cops arrived, listened to what had happened then told him he'd have to leave by himself or they would have to lift him.
What does he expect, the kids wards settle them down by 8pm so no one is allowed to enter the ward after that time, my cousin's only there because she refuses to leave her son.
Making me angrier and angrier the way he's getting on.
OMG I am actually seriously :eek: and :mad: at the selfishness of this guy! Not just how he treats his 'own' (ha!) baby but also to disrupt the much needed rest time of the other poor kiddies who are in there, it makes me so bloody mad!!!!No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2023

Good morning everyone:) Just getting ready for work. House is nice and quiet with boys still asleep. Was thinking of popping into T's to see if they have any easter stuff left for reductions but they open at 9 same time as i start work, although i work on a retail park with a normal T's so may have to take a stroll over.
Going to have to look if Halfords is open today though as my dad borrowed my car this morning and on returning it informed me both my headlights are out, only the dipped ones are working:eek:Fudge_Cake wrote: »YesA few times

Have you read Midnight Sun? If it was finished I#m sure it would be my favourite of them all. Reading from Edward's point of view is amazing and insightful
With Twilight the only one I feel is a let down on the books is Twilight. I think the others are fantastic and I'd read the books several times before watching them, and awaiting them in much anticipation I hasten to add!But even so yes I am like you and immediately recognise the bits I appreciate most in the book of they are absent but I think everyone must do that and identify more with certain aspects than others. I don't fancy the job as director of something as revered as the Twilight Saga, you're bound to upset a few million people! :eek:
No i've not actually read this one, would like to. Where would I be able to find it if wasn't finished?0 -
