You must have been up early :rotfl:

You can train DH to do the windows now he retiring, hate cleaning windows :mad: love when they all nice and shiny but if I could wave a magic wand wld be perfect:rotfl:

AND you can get him to do all your glitch shopping:D;):rotfl:you just need to do the lists with the words in bold UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE YOU TO DEVIATE FROM SAID LIST
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


Serious now it is going to be wonderful for you both many more lunch meet ups and great to spend some quality time with each other.:A You mentioned how fantastic he is with helping in your mums care so bonus all round and just at the right time when you probably needing the most support since your dad passing. :A:A:A

Hubby is pretty good at glitch shopping, sometimes send him on the way home from work with instructions to ring BEFORE he gets to checkouts to double check with me what he has. Told him he will need to spend time on here when I am at work :rotfl::rotfl:then he can ring me and tell me what to get on the way home.

No windows done yet. Can't find my charger. We bought one of the Karcher window cleaning things a couple of months ago and it is fantastic. I know it isn't very MSE in terms of money but hugely beneficial in time. Used to hate cleaning windows, but now, just love it. It is so quick and easy to do and no streaks either.

Up early this morning as mum came over to stay last night and DH takes her home on his way to work and he had an 8am meeting She likes coming to stay, but also likes to get back to her own environment, so usually comes over a couple of times a week. At least it means 2 evenings not spent on her own - she hates these dark evenings and it will only get worse unfortunately.

By the way, another one here doesn't think much of the Buster bathroom stuff. Certainly wouldn't bother again, not even at glitch price. Prefer to spend my money on something that really works.

So do I CW:) especially after messing up yesterday with the Bulmers :rotfl: but we learn from the mistakes and think we have all had messed up the glitches as so complicated and have many factors that could make a difference to results.

I am so learning alot about MSM due to this glitch I just didn't get it and tended not to use it :o:o Never realised the difference off actually being registered which I did a few days back:j and this morning put things in a basket and actually printed a list to take with me not sure I am doing it right but small steps my list only has what I intended to buy doesn't show anything about other stores on the printout but saw a comparison chart on MSM page for shop is that right. Think might get Blue to show me:D:p when we meet up on the laptop. Maybe I will uncover some more tricks on there:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Sounds like role reverseal:D:rotfl: should be fun:A

I am liking the sound of a Karcher to clean windows:rotfl: we have one for Patio and they are brilliant. My arms ache for days after doing the windows muscles get very tired just doing the patio window/doors. So think me may look into this:T

Sounds a nice balnce with your mum coming over a couple of times a week gives her something to look forward to and you get to see she is OK but I know what you mean about they like their own home comforts.:A The temperature the last 2 days it's been absoloutely freezing especially in the mornings.

Have you stocked your freezer yet with any bargains pity no glitch on frozen items:D:rotfl:

Hi AH
This is the one but I waited until B&Q had a 20% off weekend before I bought it. Takes very little time to charge up. Found the charger (had put it with the mobile phone chargers) topped up the charge and just done 10 panes of glass inside and out and 4 patio doors outside only. Took about 10 mins. One of the best gadgets ever :j:j
Slowly stocking the freezer, but just buying stuff on offer at the moment that we use. Think that is what I will do rather than 1 huge shop paying full price. Don't do that anymore :rotfl::rotfl:Did some baking last night and made a pan of soup for lunch yesterday, so now got leftover soup in the freezer, some crumble mix and a couple of apple pies too. Will get there slowly. Not heard from insurance company yet, so hope they will pay out.

Oh I also bought 1kg clover & 1kg can't believe its not butter on a separate transaction because sada is cheaper. £2 a tub.

(((hugs)))

hope you don't get trouted today hun, it does make you feel a bit fed up with asda:(:(

In fact I think asda are putting a lot of people off shopping there as most of us have said in the past how much nicer the SA's are than those at tesco.

Seems there has been a complete turnaround on that comment as so many people have had problems.

take care

Or you can buy clothes via clothing dept (returning on the same floor) because Electrical / ink goods you have to go thru customer service & they can be quite funny about it especially if they know that your receipts has cashback.

Clothing is upstairs NOT THAT I ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO IT:rotfl:I myself do not return anything I bought from sada, it was only tekco I did it b'cos I don't like their COWS:D
