    Sorry to hear about your neighbour. My oh works away a lot too and whilst I do have dogs they are softies really! It does sound expensive but worth it if it gives u peace of mind... I always worry that if it goes off at night I'd have a heart attack :eek:

    Makes a change from slugs :rotfl:Met up with a friend today in town to collect the Madeira pictures from the framers and find a new top for an approaching hen party:
    • £4.10 for a coffee and brownie first thing
    • found a fabulous top in Hou$£ of Fra$£r reduced from £45 to £14. I had a survey voucher for £10 so only £4 to find :T
    • £6.64 for lunch and a drink at Pr£t
    • £2.70 parking
    A nice day out and less than I usually spend as left earlier (so parking cost less) and eating at Pr£t was cheaper than our usually haunts. Friend has just discovered that she's gluten intolerant so Pr£t is a good option for her.

    Paid the remaining £50 to the framers. Pictures look fabulous so I'll have to decide where I want them this weekend.

    Also:
    • a 30p Tillytidy
    • another £10 H0u$£ of Fra$£r voucher ordered from C0n$um£r Pul$£
    • ordered bin bags from Amaz0n - 3 packs to qualify for free delivery. £8.44 plus the £5 I had in my gift account :eek: Anyone know of cheaper bin bags to fit a Simpl£human Butterfly Bin?
    A solo supper of Aubergine, Bacon & Chilli pasta sauce as Mr F isn't home until tomorrow :( I miss him when he's away.

    Over the hump so it's downhill to the weekend folks!

    Thought of you as we had delicious sorrel from our garden with some jacket potatoes today!

    Wa.trose was also great. Will use them again. Good service and sensible substitutions..MOV from their website as a new customer. Not much not to like!

    I haven't tried sorrel Brizzle - might give it a go next time. Glad you liked Waitr0$£. Did you get a goodie bag with your first order?

    Hi LauraJo. I usually enjoy a bit of peace and quiet when Mr F's away tbh but this time I missed him - even though I had sole control of the remote :rotfl:
