    I love parodying songs too lamewolf and poems
    confession time macpep1 I did look up the original lyrics online to find a bit suitable for parodying :whistle:
    Still at work so not much flying as yet, though desk at work is looking better than yesterday. Need to get another batch of marking done and another batch of emails deleted.

    I think you can still stack them up to a maximum of 15p? I am sure I heard on the radio this morning 12p off at Morrisons when you spend £60.00 thats a good deal

    there isn't a morrisons close enough to make it a good deal.. I'll do another top up of bread and milk etc later in the week, get a second voucher and fill up on the way home.. Though.. I want a couple of the rucksacks they have on offer at the mo so will probably get a third voucher with those.. We've not filled up for 7 weeks so it doesn't do bad for the money.

    Oh thanks so much for that, I need food and fuel so we know where I'm off to whilst DS3 is at athletics!

    Not much done off the lists I'm afraid as I had mega period pain and throbbing headache :o:(

    However I have done 4 loads of washing; three are dry and folded (sort of) and the last (throws) are still out there. It's been very hot here.

    I've also done feeble decluttering in the most gibble-laden areas and cleared the stairs. Boy does the woodwork need a dust and a clean :eek:

    Shoved jacket potatoes in oven and gammon steaks under the grill. Going to mix a packet cheesecake and put slices of real lime on it so it looks a bit HM. And that's about it folks :o

    eta: My M&S order is still in the NW distribution centre. The email promises delivery by 22nd May (today) by 9pm. So it's got 3 hours to get down the M1 and round the M25 to me. Hmmmm.
