    happy birthday Nannylala
    had a good day yesterday woopsying
    got 4 roasts one was a leg of lamb originally costing just under £13 got it for £3 something, also got fillet and sirloin steaks. and ribs in gravy x 3, 5 lots of tapas, free mcvit cakes, and some other odds and ends.
    bought 1 lot of the expensive wenches put it through on its own, stupidly forgot to put the £1 voucher in, but put the jtd voucher in from previous shop. so angrey at myself!!!!!!! grrr
    might go do more juices this morning, they keep running out of them locally though.
    not everyones idea of fun but hubby and i have had a fantastic day planned..................
    going for a day out with hubby to another town, we r going to seperate and meet up later and totally pretent we are just meeting for the first time, and we r going for a drink then a meal, going to keep up the role for the whole day. We r rather looking farward to it. I have so believed in the whole plot i could hardly sleep last night, although hubby next to me in bed!
    told my friends about this got some strange looks "eyes rolling"
    but we r very much in love and believe in having a bit of fun.
    so wish me luck on this big date i have today!!!
    hugs to you all, i will be back tonight to check up on you all, be good i know i won't be lol xxxxxx

    Had to chuckle at this. It reminded me of the scene in Gavin and Stacey where Dawnie and Pete decide to spice things up with a spot of role play.
    Just hope your hubby doesn't come out with the immortal words...

    "Do you want to 'ave it orf!!!"

    Enjoy yourselves Blondy ;);)

    Happy birthday Nannylala:bdaycake:Hope things are more comfortable today.

    And a belated Happy Birthday to West is Best :bdaycake:
    My husband says he will leave me if I don't stop shopping......... God I will miss that man.

    fabulous 18 piece children's baking set £2 delivered to store at Wilko's - must be a misprice but worth a punt.

    Thanks to OP on Grabbit - have ordered and hope it is honoured

    Found the recipe, I used this in desperation one day as I'd just had enough and between this and using a facial steamer(Works wonders on sinuses) I cleared it, in fact I will never forget because my sinuses made horrendous popping noises and my hearing came back too;) I didnt have tomato juice so just liquidised a tin of tomatoes and bunged the whole lot in the microwave:)

    Tomato Tea. 1 Cup tomato juice or V8. 1 or 2 cloves of crushed garlic. 1 Tablespoon lemon juice. Hot sauce or pepper. You can try tabasco sauce, cayenne pepper, horse radish, dried pepper flakes, etc. Make it just as spices as you can tolerate it. The capricin, found in hot peppers, clears the sinuses.

    Ta Niki, that maybe a tad too spicy for my stomach though :p have been steaming with olibis oil ;), docs gave me antibiotics but gonna look at the sprays and see whatelse the chemist has...

    Morning everyone

    My DD1 had a lovely parcel from the postman this morning ................ her £100 red letter days voucher from mission control :j
    She thought it would never arrive - just waiting for the £25 one she won as well.

    Still waiting on the £25 RLD and 2 x £25 L2S, gotta be almost 4 months now, had everything else arrive though..

    Only difference is this time there is a * which specifies that you cannot buy a gift card with a gift card. So if your SA is on the ball, this makes it a no go (or may be the till will not allow?). Missed last time too.

    Till is spitting out 25% off greetings cards as well so use that on next one too. I got trouted after 3 rounds - Good luck !!

    Buy a £10 gift card in WHSmith and a greeting card and they add £5 to the gift card. So you have a £15 gift card.

    I guess you rinse and repeat, then realise there is nothing you want to buy in WHSmith:o
    I'll try again with the multi quote:o

    I'd do exactly the same!! Don't stress over it, it's someone following the "rules" as opposed to using their brain and being flexible. Little turd of a child! ;)
