afternoon all lovely day here. hope everyone is well
my dd2 has done race for life this morning, she is unwell and on antibiotics and supposed to be resting i said it did not matter if she did not go we would still give the money but she insisted she could not let people down she did a time of 40 mins and had to stop and be sick half way:(

but she made me cry before she went she showed me her number and it said she was racing for her Taid (who died) then she had put for those who are fighting and put her aunt and uncle then The Inspirational Alan 3 dogs. She said she reads over my shoulder and listerns to what i tell her they have posted and was inspired by alan and 3 dogs posts they helped convince her to do the race i am so proud of her :A

Well done her (and you for doing such a great job as a parent)
Brought a tear. Alan 3 dogs hope it gives you a huge lift knowing people all over the country are thinking of you.

I am really :j:j:j I just finished inputting my 15 Mr A wombles from yesterday, total of just under £15 :T:T:T so I now have enough to buy the bottle of DKNY perfume I wanted for £25 and I have still got some change!

Really pleased as I can't justify buying it otherwise it's hardly an essential so I'm chuffed my wombling has enabled me to get it - all that shame is worthwhile!

Even standing right by the entrance yesterday with my tweezers pulling a HUGE receipt through the jammed up trolleys...bothered,me? Just a tiny bit lol!

:beer::beer::beer:

Well done:T:T:T I've got no shame anymore as far as shopping goes, I've come a long way since I first started MSE and found my first 1p item and stood in T's literally sweating about how I was going to get it through the SS.
I think my favourite achievement was getting 3 of the purple microsoft mouse's through a SS for 1p each (Should have been £30each)They all had security tags on and I had to tell a white lie to that SA that their were more on the shelf, and exactly where they were so he'd let me have them, and then I legged it so quick because I'd had them all:o:o:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Didnt go back in there for a few weeks;)

I was choking the tears back as I read this to Alan - please thank your daughter for thinking of us and for running the race for life even though she was ill. Mr 3Dogs said, through tears, 'argh, how lovely' and says you must be very proud to have such thoughtful daughter

I also wombled a rather long receipt today!
Someone had spent £200 in Mr T and not used a club card.
Those points are now mine as i got them added when i went in the store as it was dated yesterday!
Wombled quite a few reciepts today, the car park was littered with them! I kept dropping my tissue and everytime i picked it up i also picked the receipt up that was next to it! LOL:D:D
