    I'll sit and watch the beach volleyball while sharing bobchorba's bag of humbugs! :D[/QUOTE

    A lot of fun that will be, they now have to wear safety gear in case of rogues (MI5) and idiots (CIA). Will happily share 1p humbugs ifyou bring your 1/2p;)

    Good job spectators don't have to wear the goggles as mine would steam up in no time! :D

    Dinnner today was salmo with feta and a hint of mint. Lovely it was too! Afters was ice cream with strawberries and cherries (both whoopsied of course) I was surprised with the ice cream - its the bradwells one that glitched a while back - it doesn't have a dramatically high fat content. :)

    per 100g.....7.9g fat of which saturates 5.4g....seems low for ice cream?

    I spent another couple of hours at the Allergy Show this afternoon I had some very nice Ice Cream from these people made from Coconut Milk, you'd never know

    The nicest gluten free bread is IMHO M & S white although it contains egg which I'm not supposed to have

    I think that my dd (who is 8) is becoming an extreme couponer!
    To help her maths we like to play shops. I buy the 3 for a £1 sweets and seperate them into clean old jam jars. I then give her some coppers and she "buys" some sweets from my shop. She has to add up her bill and then we have to balance the till at the end of the shop. We have done this for some time now and she loves it and she is getting on really well with her maths.
    Tonight my husband was playing shops with her and she asked me did I have any spare coupons as daddy has put the prices up :eek: :rotfl:.
    She then laughed and said okay can I have a BOGOF then ? :rotfl:

    you got to love em.
    When I grow old, I dont want people thinking "what a sweet old lady" I want them to think
    "oh carp what is she up to now!"

    hi all, naebirrac and her dh,gave me and my dw a great time in antigua. it felt quite strange meeting someone you have never seen in a country 4000 miles away. in fact they made our holliday as i would never of seen so much in so little time. she was an excellent tour guide.(should take it up P.T.) the beaches there are so clean and warm. all the locals on the island are so friendly.
    she had taken a small selection of her stash there too, like sun cream. my dw said to me have all you lot got the same things :rotfl:. the 4 of us interacted like we had known each other for years. i cant thank her enough for what she done for us. i just get the feeling the are loads of 11+ers that are kind and helpful like her.
    i was showering one evening and smiled to myself when i read the shampoo in my bathroom

    Evening elite :hello:

    Just popped in to say hi and ((hugs)) to those in need

    3dogs good to know that you and Alan arrived safely 'home' and that your mam is ok

    I'm still in the sockless club, but I did remember someone on here advising us to check out the magazine/comic section for Lambs.
    Thank you very much whoever it was, I saw a small plastic trough like display thing (way out of reach for children) I couldn't see inside but reached up and put my hand in. Yes there was something in there. 6 Lambs which jumped out and into my trolley. They are safe and warm now of course. :rotfl:

    Were the galaxy wish things also 1p? I left them in hiding as we have no scanner in my store.
    Off now to catch up a little but wll be back later
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    Another from the dark side thanks to natty11

    IDShot_90x90.jpg 65p at the moment but there is a 20p off PDF coupon floating about. ;)
    http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/lotus-original-caramalised-biscuits-250g-65p-tesco-1222486

    The coupon is for a 350g pack though, and the reduced packs are 250g, unless its a typo, as ive only ever seen one size of pack.

    Thank you. I can normally be found lurking around the isles of Tesco C1ift0n. :)

    Just got to hope mum does not slow me down too much :rotfl::rotfl:

    Got to get to Smiths before I go too for the Lego :D[/QUOTE

    they are far to organised at marton i never seem to find anythin there.if we get a mr A in poulton perhaps i`ll have more luck.lol

    It's just that woman traffic warden with the mustache that puts me off going into Poulton in the car. She puts the fear in God. I have seen her at 7:50 on a Saturday morning checking the cars from the night before. Then when it gets to 8am she pounces and tickets the lot of them.:eek:
