    Afternoon all!

    Need to catch up, is the wine working today? Just asking on the off-chance that any lovely person has tried and confirmed the white as I have plenty of red and rose now *hic*

    Had a good morning, the nice DFS man came and mended the cat scratches on my leather sofa, so it looks all lovely again now, cheers whatever your name was :D
    I put my winter duvet back on my bed last night

    And my heating has just come on

    It is cold :(

    I am considering putting my duvet back on, I don't get that cold at night so I have been sleeping under two cotton sheets, even in winter I can't bear a duvet over 10.5 tog!

  • Just been to my local Tesco and brought some johnson's baby wipes clean and protect. Label stated 95p but was charged at 2.13!!! Went in and got 10 more packs and customer service basically said that price label should not be there as date said july and that someone (meaning me) must of put it there. Called mangers and as a good will gesture they would let me have them for 95p but would not give me dtd!, phoned up customer service and they have phoned the local store to remind them about the dtd policy and that i should of received it.They told me to go in next time with my receipt and remind them about their dtd poilcy, They also sending me out a £10 gift card.

    All the other johnsons wipes are marked up at 95p so i dont know if these should of been 95p or if it was an error???

    If your like me and do enough more wine shops, you won't need to buy any new jeans. You will start to fit back into your old ones. :p That's if you drink all the proceeds. :rotfl:
    I dread to think how much weight I've put on lately. I do know that my jeans are too tight though. :eek:

    hehehehe I had noticed my scales have become a little innacurate over the past week. :cool:

    Back to the grind stone now after a holiday and will attempt to scramble back on my wagon and get my low fat healthy eating back on track too!

    I wish I could but I have no will power. Especially when I have so much wine in the house. I can hear it in the evening saying, "drink me, drink me" and I just have to do as I'm told. :rotfl::rotfl:

    Ours has never been off during this lovely Scottish summer... on the odd occasion that I've felt too warm, kicking it off my feet/legs has been enough :(. We don't have double glazing though .
