    Good news! We have another 5000 x £10 train ticket e-vouchers to give away

    They are being released at 7:00pm on Tuesday 11th December, so great for all those who didn't get one last week

    :eek::eek::eek::eek: just came out from a small meeting with boss - He is making us redundant:eek::( tbh, we were expecting it, it was just a matter of time when he is going to shut it down or offer the company to us.

    Everybody finishes on 21/12. Except me & my colleague end of Jan.:( Unless we can magic out some dosh to buy up the company.:o

    Me said if we (myself & my colleague) buy up the company, I wanna get rid of 4 trouble makers. Boss said no can do:( if we buy the company we have to buy the existing staff too. Me not want it, they can go & find a job in that case.

    Myself & my colleague will start a new job elsewhere with another company hopefully by Feb.

    So did I, but that was when I claimed a £10 Waterstones voucher plus a £5 Burton voucher and only the Waterstones one turned up! However I am still waiting for the love to shop one to arrive!

    Morning all, just had a wake up call in the face of greed and am cross and ashamed with myself!

    Saw the info yesterday about the sally hansen thing, managed to get 2 in my A and got nice return this morning. Didnt even check msm first.

    Greedy me this morning decided to get up early and get to another A before 8am before women have to take their entire bored families in there and get under my feet and swooped on the sally hansen shelves and felt smug with my haul of 6. 6 sep shops later, have now got home and discovered it is now n/a on flippin MSM for A so probably wont work. Now I have to go in 6 separate times to take the stupid things back, and I hate my local CS with a passion.

    Feel greedy and stupid! Wanting to dive into chocolate but am 4 weeks into s.w and have been good so far (lost 1st 2lb) but I am an emotional eater so thought I would let off steam on here first.

    OH already thought I was barking going out at 7.30 this morning and even more barking to come back with 6 nail products. He wont be impressed when they dont work!

    Arrgghhh!

    P.s maybe Ill have some of blue's cyber crumble!

    Well done MAGS :j :j :D:D fantastic weight loss xx

    Afternoon all

    Jut got back from city and it was horrific got there before 9 and car park already half full !!!!! People queuing to get inshops and you should have seen the masses and masses of bags everyone was carrying thy must have been spending hundreds today. So glad my shopping mostly done we had a little wander went in Disney store bear factory etc then picked up photo at 10 then home but so hard to keep an eye on all 3 when people pushing and knocking you about. Bubsy got bags whacked in his face in the pushchair more than once so I wasn't amused but people just scowl at you and rush away grumpy piglets.

    On the plus photo is totally gorgeous and managed to easily just get free one coz they had sign up saying cash only card machine not working so I just said got no cash only credit card and can't take off money so in and out easy with no hard sell.

    Din din time now cheese on toast I fancy then me and kids going to bake some cakes and get the tree down from roof I hope

    CM

    Did you get sorted with FB? If not let me know. I cannot believe that people were out shopping so early and with so much stuff :eek: I couldn't do it, most of it is reduced a few days after Christmas. Are you all sorted now?
