    Mmmm... Elemis Sharp Shower is my favourite shower gel in the world. Minty fresh... yum.....
    There's a posh alert!

    I thought Original Source was dead posh ... full price is £2/bottle and I always get it at £1 and it lasts a whole year as I ration myself to it. Before I discovered Original Source I'd always had the "3 litres for 50p" type of stuff from markets.

    Just looked up that stuff... £12 a bottle!! Twelve... pounds.....
    Blimey!

    I've still not met another NP.
    Bizarrely, on another forum I use occasionally, I found someone I went to school with!

    Just had a scoot around the rest of the debate board. Hasn't changed much! Still miss Inspector Monkfish - I hope he is well.

    Had a bit of training on the welfare reform changes. Interesting that everyone is looking at the benefit cap & bedroom tax & focussing on them, rather than some of the big issues underlying there. Might start a thread when I get time...
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    :o I probably shouldn't tell you how much I just spent on skincare that arrived today...It's elemis as well.

    But it does last 6 months so it's MSE as I use less of it? :p

    Word up nice people!:wave:

    I went to see Sigur Ros last night. Had an amazing time.
    What has everyone else been up to?:)

    Lemon, we missed ya :)

    Had a money saving double fail tonight, went to pick up up DD from Quasar Beavers in next town, went to buy half price Debenhams vouchers on Amex foursquare to find shop closed then went to pizza hut restaurant with same aim to find they didn't do vouchers (only some restaurants seem to do them). Today was last day for the pizza hut offer as well and I could easily have picked some up in town instead over the last few weeks.

    Did get to use a 5p/litre voucher at Tesco petrol but they are 2p/litre more expensive than local petrol so only a small win and as we are driving our no 2 car still that only does about 20/gallon cos number one car that does 35 is broken there is no money saving on petrol anyway.
    I think....

    I will be meeting a NP in the next 2 weeks. For reasons of security I won't say who/when until after the event.

    Have fun!

    I met a lovely NP two weeks ago :D

    I have some rather nice news. The boy and I have been selected to be trade body experts at a very big show that deals very specifically with two things that we do later in the month. Members of the public can book a free 15 minute slot with us. :)

    Excited, much!

    Hello lj, I'm sure we've passed within yards of each other at some point :)

    Inspector Monkfish's daughter is very poorly. You can sense the despondancy and frustration in their facebook updates :(

    Now you've got me dealing with this instead of finishing my report. The previous day's one is delightful, too. :)

    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?
