  • Had a sort of catching up day today - various jobs needing doing that I've been putting off. OH and I are going to visit family in a sunnier (hopefully) :) place for christmas so not bothering putting any more decs up in our house (unless BP can get time off from being the Domestic Goddess):p but it doesn't seem quite right when all around me are putting theirs up:( so I've decided to have a little token tree so I can feel a bit festive at home. Also managed to get a couple of LOB/fab fings shops in this afternoon but shops were heaving. I thought at one stage a bun fight was going to break out as a couple started arguing at the checkout just in front of me. Wouldn't like to have been in the mans shoes when he got home:eek::D:eek:. Off now to make tea and to settle down to watch x factor - I didn't really mind who won as I think both Jahmene and James are brilliant but James was soo good last night I really want him to win now:T:T:T
  • Ooh nearly forgot - OH had another stonking womble - approx £15 apg's and 2 T's receipts with 208 points not claimed. He is getting a Sunday roast for that lol AND a Plum crumble. With custard. Might encourage him its worth wombling:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:after all

    Evening all

    Managed to find some pants in mr T priced at £7 but when I scanned them they scanned at £8 not 4p or even the right price so totally confused now as thought it was all packs not priced at £8 has anyone else found any cheap today or do they need to be certain packets or colours ?

    Never mind will maybe try another store another day but worried to try in a store with no self scanners now

    School kit to iron now joy can't be bothered to list anymore on eBay tonight did a few bits yesterday getting bored of people messing me about and not paying

    Think that ebay attracts the daftest people - they seem to lose all common sense. I was recently asked if a collection item included postage. What??:eek::(:eek:

    You may wish to reconsider AFTER tasting my cooking - I am so not a domestic goddess :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:as friends will vouch. Remind me to tell you of some of my culinary disasters.

    I even managed to burn boiled eggs once:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
  • Anyone else just spot Jahmene with the whoopsie gun?

    Seems like a really lovely young man - good luck to him

    I have a total twonk annoying me at the mo have been waiting since Tuesday for them to pay so yesterday I sent a polite "please make payment or contact asap" message and all they have done is sent me a message back and all it said was OK... Total idiots the make contact was a nice way of saying if you have a problem or can't pay let me know but I just don't know what they are on. Thinking about starting non paying dispute but I like to give people a full week. And stupid part is its under £2 the item.

    Makes you want to pull you hair out sometimes lol.
