Morning :wave: another glorious day here...beautiful blue sunny skies and I'm already baking. This baby is my own little internal radiator without the sun making an appearance.. joy of joy, i'm going be to sweating like a P.I.G again (or glistening as we ladies do :rotfl:)

Off to catch up. Got a T shop for mayo and squash planned for later

Now that baby logie is safely delivered, I think we need to pull across your sweepstake to the new thread. Are you there motherbear?

Ooh, nice. We got heated seats in our new car (had it almost a month now) so can't wait to try them out in the winter. We can also program it/set a timer for them to come on before we even leave the house - how nifty is that?!


Any way you can dodge the ticket? Look on this site as I've dodged 2 in a year - any mitigating circumstances? In fact the last one was 3 weeks ago and OH texted to buy parking ticket from meter, but his phone was registered to our old car. Duh. So got a ticket. I'm waiting on a response from the council. Don't they have 14 days to respond and if they are later than that, your ticket is quashed? Hmm, will have to check that.

I have'nt paid a parking ticket for years:o:o:oJust appeal then when they turn it down go to the next level and it usually gets overturned. It does help that ours are usually on work vans though;)
My faves are the ones in private shopping car parks where they send you the ones that look like an official police ticket. Mrlala used to go mad at me but now believes me when I say don't worry. They usually send you 3 letters with those then go away as they have'nt a leg to stand on;)

So I have hidden them strategically for the purpose of easy access

Hi all

Beautiful weather again today. I'm waiting for my sunburn to go all brown and lush.

Didnt have time to pop on yesterday but did anyone repost about the garden brackets dtd, I put it on facebook and thought someone may have put it on here - but haven't read back

Just had the slabs delivered for my patio, what a nightmare. First lot we got off the lorry but couldn't get it onto the pavement on my side of the road because it has a slight incline, so had to put that 1 across the road. Second one nearly fell off the tail lift :eek: we managed to stop it and got that onto my side of the road.
I've just moved the one lot from across the road onto my drive but a bit knackered so i'll have a rest before I tackle the next lot.

Here's a sneak preview of the slabs, first dry then wet
Fossil Mint Sandstone, which come in total random colours





Should have put them in the sun, you can see the colours better

The Nescafe ordinary 300g compared on the pricecheck - £7 T and £4.78 S. The squash is still my favourite at £7 v £4 for 2, we use it, it stores well and given what we fit in our tanks it generates a positive return. Happy days. :T

I always get questioned with the £5 off £40 voucher...

Does anyone of you clever people know if it has to be used before or after discounts, it's really hard to work out, I always get told it's after in some stores and not in others...

I'm planning a shop now would someone mind posting how I could get some petrol vouchers, I don't understand the new T's comparison rules....

Thank you I appreciate it....

It doesn't matter what the staff say, its a Tesco own coupon so is programmed into the tills to trigger only when the correct criteria is met. Its the total after discounts that it works on.
