    Sis declined my offer:mad::mad::mad::mad: no helping some people:mad::mad::mad::mad:

    I don't bother telling any of my friends anymore as I swear they don't even bother listening, it's just white noise to them, I just can't understand why they wouldn't want to save money!!

    So from now on, I'm telling no-one except you guys, even after telling them again and again to sign up to the MSE e-mail, I found out the other day that two of them never even bothered, which says it all really! Waste. Of. Time.

    Hi KizKiz

    Good results on the wine

    I thought the J20 would work also but the apple and mango ones i bought compared at 4.00 in A to 3.98 in T. Never mind as they will not go to waste :D

    Feeling ever so lonely this evening :(

    Never alone in here honey. Always someone to share your news with.

    I'm just finished work and getting up at six to go boot sale some bits. I live with a load of hoarders they drive me crazy.

    Not sure why your feeling lonely but virtual hugs being sent.
