    well done on all those NSD being nabbed. Not one here, had to pick up bread (been managing without since about Sun, but felt a bit mean as OH has been home and he likes his toast). While i was at it treated myself to a pretzel for 75p (didn't fancy my soup for lunch) so £1.25. But pretzel was delicious :D

    Also picked up the capri's I ordered (same shop - do a web collect) and they only sent the wrong bloomin size :mad: pick list said XS, label said L - and now they are OOS on the website. :( Can't beleive I missed them before, they're exactly what I've been looking for for ages. Emailled the company who said they will be getting new ones in their SS13 collection - not sure mine will last that long, and also means I'll end up paying full price :( (although not if I can help it :rotfl:) ,My only hope is perhaps TKM get some in as that's where i got mine before, but not holding my puff.

    Still, between two dresses that didn't fit and those going back, I have 'saved' myself nearly £70 :A

    Not succeeded today on having a NSD, even though I got a free lunch while volunteering. It was a stressful session though so I went to Tesco (as I pass it on the way home!) and bought beer to unwind with tonight. On the NS side of things, mum asked if I want to share chinese later :) and she's paying to celebrate :D

    Good evening folks,

    I've been very busy with work and spin etc the last few days, so forgive me going awol:o.
    Having just skimmed through the posts (emphasis on skimmed!) I note that spoony has welcomed Marmite and me back and wanted to say thanks, it's good to be back:)
    I managed to grab NSDs 7&8 for monday and tuesday:)
    No NSD today though, as I went to a large store and bought enough selection boxes to feed the natives of a small island:p
    I hope everybody is well and having a good week to date.:)
    If you've nothing decent to say, perhaps you shouldn't say anything.

    Love this one If :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    Had a full day of supply teaching today, and they've asked me to come back tomorrow, so that's good news for the coffers! It's a good rate of pay for supply, but because the flow of work is so sporadic, no teachers like having to rely it for too long.

    Good news indeed flubberyzing, fingers crossed some more days come along soon
    Currently debating going to Tesco tonight so that I don't ruin a NSD tomorrow... But the more I think about it... Perhaps I can last until Friday or Saturday... And I'm knackered!

    IMO it's never a good idea to go to Tatco (or any other supermarket when a)kernackered and/or b) hungry.. stuff finds its way into the trolley/basket all on its own :eek:
    Good evening folks,
    I note that spoony has welcomed Marmite and me back and wanted to say thanks, it's good to be back:)

    And it's lovely to have you back Red :)
    I managed to grab NSDs 7&8 for monday and tuesday:)

    Woohooooo :j:j:j
