    Who said clearing out a big cupboard that's been stuffed full of junk isn't entertaining?

    Other half has been moaning that I'm a hoarder for ages now. So he decides to clear out this cupboard. Of the items that he put in there the first few that he pulls out are....a broken toilet roll holder, a lamp shade, some chair legs (no idea what happened to the rest....or not yet anyway), and the bit I find most hilarious....a single shoe insert. Yup...just the one. He's still hoping to find his friend somewhere at the back of the cupboard.

    I've been laughing my head off for a good hour now and it'll keep me smiling for ages. The image of him standing there holding this blue flopping shoe insert shaking his head saying "no idea where his friend is....and I'm not a hoarder "is just priceless.

    Should have had the video camera on him.

    Hi everyone, hope your all well.

    Today I went to mr t and got:-

    2 x smoked sausage (2 different stores)
    2 x "customer has not spent enough" messages when scanning coupon
    2 x sa calling for supervisors
    2 x "ok just put it through"
    0 x rice (what have I missed?)

    Am I doing something wrong with the sausage coupon, I notice it says to be used with a clubcard and i haven't used a clubcard with it, is this where I'm going wrong?
    I do try to keep up but sometimes life gets in the way.
    I'm just a penny short of a pound. Peace and Love.

    I've joined the 5:2 club cos mrT made me eat 1p chocolate.
  • Thank you all for your interest, three lovely ducklings have survived, lost three :sad: They had their first bath tonight and seem to be eating and drinking ok but it's still early days, keep fingers crossed please.

    Lunch??? Gimme chance, I've only just swallowed breakfast!!! :)

    Weighed myself earlier on. First time on my home scales for over a week. Seems like I am a wee bit lighter than I was.....hard to be exact as I usually stand onthe scales 3 or 4 times a day (scales are in the kitchen near the kettle) and my weight does flouctuate a bit during the day and day to day, but I'd be confident to say at least 6lb has gone.

    That is nearly half a stone

    Well done:T:T:T:T:T:T
