Does everyone let the sales assistants keep their reciepts? Was just wondering because some of them want them and others dont.

I always ask for them back:)

Yes off on the 28th:(A song came on the radio this morning in the office and the next thing I'm sitting here in floods of tears, I'm getting worse:oI'm at the stage where I just need him to go so as I can get over it, thats sounds horrible but I am dreading it soooo much...It's just the thought of seeing his room at uni for the first time and leaving him there..Oh gawd I'm off again:pIt's just that I'm not usually a "cryer" so it's sort of hit me like a ton of bricks:(I'm going to need some severe retail therapy to get me through the next couple of weeks I think;)I just can't believe I'm feeling like this:eek::eek::eek:

Nikki, to you and everyone else whose offspring are off to college/Uni for the first time:

I can so relate to how you are feeling, because 12 months ago I was in exactly the same position and wondering what the heck was wrong with me, because I'm normally a strong person. Like you I only have one child, a daughter. Her dad has been away abroad on business all week every week for most of her life, and so we two are incredibly close. Sending her off to Uni felt like I was going to be missing a limb, even though I was so proud and pleased she'd got in to do what she wanted.

What I can tell you is that, yes, it does feel odd for the first few days/ couple of weeks, but it very quickly becomes the new normal and it's absolutely fine. It's lovely when they come home and you enjoy their company, and it's lovely when they go back too and you haven't got the mountains of dirty glasses, piles of laundry and dirty plates lying around! Skype is a godsend, and we usually end up speaking at some point most days if we see the other is online and it's convenient for them to talk.

Why not plan to do some thing with Mr Lala the first few days just while you get used to it - a meal out, a trip to the cinema or something, treat yourself to some whoopsied flowers on the way home and generally make it a nice time. EDIT: "Untouchable" comes out on 21st, go and see it, it's hilarious and so uplifting. Mr Lutzi and I went to see it on a preview the other night and even he was still laughing at it the next day. It's FAB!!!

I promise you honey, it will be fine, and very soon you will wonder what you were so bothered about. :A xxx

And happy birthday choirchick!

And a heads up for those who've still got some car/sofa MOCs left - (quite a few people I would imagine). Flash All Purpose Thai Orchid with febreze is reduced to £1.14 at Mr T's, so 14p after the MOC. They've got the Lenor 83 washes (blue or yellow) down to £4 at the minute, but it's down to £3 in A, so if you use a MOC out of the current magazine and it compares, it could be a a goodie. I'll try it next time I'm there.

I always ask them to bin them cos that way I'm not going to get mixed up and try to input them again, (have had some SA's not do the scribbly thing on receipts)
