    I dont know if some of you remember me complaining that I could never get plates to fit into my dishwasher....
    Ive returned so many dinner sets to various shops because of this.. I even gave away 2 Denby ware dinner sets that I got free from T's, because they wouldnt fit... :(:(:(:(
    I sent for 8 plates of the Portmeirion that Snap told us about, and you guess it, they wouldnt fit!!!!!!! :(:(:(:(

    WELL......... Dont anyone DARE laugh.... BUT :idea::idea:

    We've only found out that we were putting the plates in the wrong way!!!!!!! The Portmeirion fit like gloves in there now!!!!!!!! :doh::doh::doh: :wall::wall::wall::wall:
    We've had this problem with the last 2 dishwasher (The first 2 dishwashers broke down while still under guarantee so were replaced).. :whistle::whistle::whistle::whistle::whistle:

    Laugh ??? i just fell off my bed :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    No raisins :(

    Got to the last aisle thinking pointless trip when;

    I spy with my little eye.....SOCKSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! :D:j

    I couldn't believe it! They haven't had any before so I was so shocked. So QOC they did make it down the M5 ;):D After a round trip of 19 T's with no luck a week ago, I actually managed to get 10 packs in my local! :eek: Fabbydoodah! :T

    My Grandfather hasn't long gone into a home and all his belongings keep goign missing so a good supply of socks to replace the missing ones will prove extremely handy!

    But I really wanna take the time again to say a HUGE THANK YOU to Nikki because until yesterday I was very much in the sockless club until her very generous offer of some arrived in the post. Thank you for being so wonderful Nikki :T:D

    Picked up some whoopsied fruit/veg and 1ps worth of whoopsied Haslet :rotfl: It was 1p so I had to buy it! :rotfl: And then nipped in A's on the way home. Too late for the really great whoopsies but picked up some whipping cream for 10p and 5p change had been left in the SS machine so really it cost me 5p ;):D Total spend £1.13 :T

    Got really upset coming out of mr T tonight, put my trolley in the aisle near the store entrance and some young girl started shouting across the carpark about how lazy I was.
    I just shouted "what?" as I didnt have the strength but it was really upsetting as I only managed to get up and adressed at about 4pm and really in pain today. I just sat in the car crying my eyes out.
    I think the fact that I also caught someone reversing into my car right in front of me right outside my house didn't help....perfect day really.
    Sorry for rant....boo hoo.

    Sending you a big hug Wendyak!

    Does anyone know if potatoes work with the root vegetables moc? They aren't under root veg part on the website so I'm thinking they won't?

    I went to CS afterwards and they credited it.
    Hope is not a strategy.

    :beer::beer:

    I would like to raise a glass to the VEGETABLE CRISPS for probably being our longest serving 1p find.

    A sad day today that they are now scanning full price as they were one of my favourite finds. I know there were a few of you that were not keen on them but I think they deserve a special place in the Elite 11 history book. :T:T:T

    I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it. :)
