    ooo, oooo, don't make us wait.......do tell!

    Go on then but be prepared to go :eek: I'm not very good at telling stories but it is true, just a brief preamble I was reminded of this yesterday because it was 3 years ago that Michael Jackson died yesterday, I didn't see it mentioned anywhere else except on Jedwards twitter but it seems they were correct. You have to bear in mind that this happened in June.

    It was the night 3 years ago that Michael Jackson died, it was June & quite hot that night if I remember correctly, everyone had gone to bed early & I was sitting downstairs quietly with one of the cats watching the news.

    There was a newsflash that an ambulance was called to Michael Jackson's home & I'm sure many of you watched the story unfold with rumours he had died & then these were confirmed.

    I was neither pro or anti Michael Jackson & liked some of his music but was glued to the T.V. as this was one of those "The truth is stranger than fiction" moments.

    How could Michael Jackson be dead ? Of course since then we've also had Whitney Houston & Amy Winehouse.

    Cat & I sat & watched the news updates, tributes & some of his videos which were being shown on T.V. I'd never really seem this particular cat take much notice of the T.V. but she seemed to be enjoying the music, wagging her tail & joining in, as a part Bengal she tends to yap repeatedly rather than miaow. I felt rather guilty turning it off & ever since if Michael Jackson is on T.V. she gets rather excited.

    I can't remember how late I stayed up but it must have been about 2am when I went to bed & being a warm night instead of just pulling the corner of the covers back I got hold of the edge and with a big flurry swept the whole lot across to leave just the under sheet which I intended to sleep on & the top sheet & duvet in a pile in the far corner of the bed.

    As I did this I saw, and I still can't believe this














    ONE GLOVE :eek:

    in the bed,

    okay it was one of my winter gloves & I had been tidying the room the day before so it must have got there that way

    BUT I found it that particular night & there was only one which was Michael's trademark

    wow:eek::eek:
    brilliant results! I wish I had a big asda near me tbh! I've never put a receipt into the APG as I have never found a long enough receipt. But the odds on getting something back in return seem really good! compared to TPC or TPP or whatever we may call it, what promise:D

    I have very poor results generally from the price promise wombles. You don't have to find a really long receipt to put it through. Just at least 8 different items. I have had good results from receipts with 10-12 items

    Start going to Asda (but not the one I go to:D)

    Was the glove there to cover up some white splotches like Michael's was?

    Just had a phone call from the hospital, they have cancelled taking mum over to Bournemouth a routine eye appointment today. She is now having an MRI scan in the next hour. Obviously more going on than was first thought. :(

    Hi Tinyshoes, Sorry to hear that mum has to have and MRI, such a worry I know. My fingers are crossed for you and mum :A
    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.
