Ooh what is the store like there - I have a urge to get up early one morning and drive there to see if I can get some pics of the sunrise (hubs thinks I am weird) and walk along the beach

Its not very big (no clothes) and I rarely find any glitches. But its good later in the day for the reduced bread.

You would have to go along the stray almost to Marske at the moment to see the sun rise, or go up to the Gare. The work on the new sea defences are blocking the view and access is fenced off for most of the beach

Well done to LTF, I'm sure its good for your parents that they know the person you are rather than creating a whole act for them to know you as a completely different person. As for whether you needed to come out on here, I remember reading in Matthew Parris's biography that he came out, but no-one noticed, so he went back in again. And then came out again years later.

That made me laugh, a few years ago I lost a lot of weight no one noticed so I started eating again

Right I'm officially all 'formed' out! I've filled in 4 mahoosive Student Loan forms for OH to confirm LY earnings and make TY claim with photocopies of blinkin everything and covering letter so it can all go in 1 envelope. Rang Tax Credits because they've stopped our award TY even though we will be below the £26k threshold, have had to write a dispute letter in the end. Also filled out driving licence renewal form cause the photo is almost OOD:eek:
i have to renew mine every 3 years :eek: due to neuropathy in my feet

So I have a couple of questions guys....
Where can I get my photo done cheap for my licence? a shopping centre has them for a £5
Where can I buy cheap rubble bags (hate spending money on rubble bags!!!)

Afternoon
Another hot afternoon in Manchester.

I've just been into T's and got the disney rex bottle, bowl and plate set for 86p (I think they were £4) bc 7790. The bottle is like a sports bottle with 3d effect.

I also picked up 2 of the bags that are free if you spend £10 on chilled food. (I was happy to pay a £1 each for them). The only chilled product I bought was £1 pack cadburys whirl ice lollies, but the till discounted one of the bags to free.

I also got a silent night single electric blanket for £3.25.

That cake was stunning:T Ladyleenie the church hall looked amazing:T

Hugs to those in need of one. I hope everyone has had a great day.

No, not a member lol.

I guess I just wish this thread would focus on the more positive aspects, ie helping people to save money, lending a sympathetic ear in times of need... the sort of thing that's mentioned on the very first post, and less on the negative (lurkers, Facebook, and of course, everybody's favourite punching bag, the 'Wenban clan').

To be honest the Wenban's don't get mentioned that often, there was quite a bit when the Tv Prog was on & then her son was swearing at everyone but a couple of weeks ago she did post on here herself. Me I still think she's angling for a book deal & the thing that really gets me from the programme is she was just using other peoples ideas from here &HUKD & claiming they were her own
