    I think a lot of people use Birthdays/Anniversaries ILC, so all of those will be no higher than 31. Maybe next week eh? Fingers crossed.

    Very cold here today, have to dress up warm to walk my boys (love the sound of that). DH & DD have booked tickets to see Les Mis at the cinema later. We can't all go because of Finlay, I drew the short straw :(. Never mind, I'll see it at some point.

    Taking the pup to see Dad today, he hasn't seen him yet, Dad will enjoy that.

    Have a good one all xx

    Morning all, another dull, dreary day here though I can see fresh snow on the nearest hills.

    Had a lovely time at Les Mis yesterday with OH, DD and two GDs. Fab film, loved it and a lot of sniffling going on at the sad bits (of which there are many!)

    Might have to venture out today for bread and milk, sooner OH's knee has recovered enough to allow him to drive the better ;)

    Enjoy your Sunday

    Forgot to say - won an apron on Sweet n Low!

    Well done ellemm and everyone for winning on sweet n low :j I might see if I can get old pc started to have a go on it :)

    Your niece sounds adorable Katie, it's lovely to watch them playing at that age. I keep looking back on old videos at the kids as babies!

    It's a shame you can't go to watch les mis Sue :( it does look good. Hope Finlay behaves himself for your dad!

    Sheils, is the tesco vouchers the points that you get on your card? My sis often gets money off coupons here and there but she hardly uses tesco so gives them to me to use with her card. I haven't had any vouchers in though myself!

    Sid, raffle copter comps don't always work for me either, but I think it's the non flash on my iPad though.

    Did you enjoy the panto stressed? What panto was it?

    Dreams, I can't believe folks have complained about mrs browns boys! Have they no sense of humour! :D

    Good luck for next lottery ILC, I had two numbers too!

    Sylvia, Fred has my kind of humour! :D I loved the quote!

    It's a bit chilly here too fire**fly & Alfie but no snow yet. The sun is acttually shining but I've heard we're getting snow sometime today!

    I had an early night last night again with a migraine so didn't comp yesterday. Just off to take youngest to gymnastics. Hope to comp later xx

    You get the vouchers every 3 months wingo and instead of just spending them you can exchange them on-line for different things at up to 4 times their value. Things like days out, hotel stays, restaurant vouchers etc. They sometimes do double up offers in their store too for clothes etc. I try not to just spend them as its not the MSE way! ;)

    Firefly - love sunny morning here. Hope you are feeding the squids well in this cold weather.

    Katie - its lovely that you can see your niece playing on Skype.

    iluvcats - loved your night night pic from yesterday.

    Sheils - thanks for the coffee, what a beautiful pic of the baby with the two dogs, perfect.

    B.Sue - sorry you got the short straw. We call our dogs the girls it sounds lovely doesn't it.

    Ellemm - well done on the sweet n low win. Its funny I keep forgetting it then someone on here mentions a win and I go off and have a go. Not won anything on it yet mind but there is still time.

    Wingo - I do hope that your migraine is better today. You are probably worried about the DD with everything going on.

    Indie - good luck laying the carpet, I am always moving things round and always feel better for doing it. It cheers me up somehow.

    Doesn't look much like snow here at the moment but I expect it will come soon. Will probably have the GD to stay if it does as her school is fairly close to us.

    Must get on

    Sheils we opted for our Tesco vouchers once a year and get them about November. We usually double up on them for Christmas presents. Having said that we don't get to Tesco very often as its the other side of town and we have Liddle and Sainsbury's in walking distance so use them most of the time.
