I did give it a go this evening but gave up after 2 packets. :rotfl:
Big thanks to witch_hazel for the info this morning on the alcoholic reductions, I was too late for the Koppenburg pear cans, SEL of £2.15 but none left. But I did get some of the Magners spiced apple and rhubarb 50p bottle. :T
Going to keep them for a bonfire party except one, it is chilling now for a bit of research.

Interesting - Morrisons are now accepting vouchers from other leading supermarkets:
http://m.retail-week.com/5041858.article
Ts in Northern Ireland started accepting other stores' vouchers in the summer again - it is times like these that they start getting silly and then make errors in their haste to beat the competition.
Let battle commence.

I saw your first post Tom, don't think people were ignoring you, theres just not many around this evening. Welcome to the madhouse, I hope you will feel at home here
Evening guys
I have been very down since getting back home and need to get motivated to do some work in the house. I picked the dogs up from the kennels on Monday and took them straight to the groomers. They both looked lovely when I picked them up later, with their coats trimmed right back, and smelled lovely, much nicer than they did wwhen I got them from the kennels :eek:
Problem is, after 32 days in the kennels, they have both been weeing in the house :eek: I let them in the garden several times a day, and shout at them if I see them doing it, then put them in the garden, and Molly is getting cleaner, but it is the older dog Bes who is the main problem. And when Bess wees, it is a flood
. She used to whine and scratch at the back door if she wanted out, but is just weeing by the back door now more often than not
It wwwould be ok if I could leave the back door open for them, but it is too cold for that, and it is tipping it down with rain right now
Anyway, I was jusst coming off the phone after a lovely chat to Kit & Steve on Monday night, when Bess walked out of the kitchen after having a drink, and wee'd in hall between kitchen and sitting room. I sshouted to tell her off and put her into the garden with the door closed while I mopped it up and disinfected the floor. After a while I let her back in, got myself a bottle of fruit cider, poured myself a glass, and settled down to come online. Both dogs tried to jump on my knee together and I pushed them away, and Molly happened to knock over the glass and bottle all over the table and floor ............. and I went into meltdown. I was shouting at the dogs then shouting that 'I can't cope with all this', and crying my eyes out. I eventually mopped up the floor with towels and then put them in to wash. I felt so depressed and alone
When I settled again, I gave the dogs cuddles each as the poor things didn't know what was going on and were just watching me
Problem is, this is what I used to be like before I went on antidepresssants a few years ago, breaking down in tears at the lightest thing, and I am now on quite strong AD's which have got me through the past few months very well up till now. In fact, at times, I felt that they were 'helping' me too much, cutting out my feelings a bit too much
The other thing troubling me is that, despite catching that last mouse, there are signs of others still here. I have so much stuff lying about, it is hard to clear it all when I just don't have the motivation, but having the piles of clutter is what is demotivating me also. Catch 22 situation, and it is all getting on top of me. I was really good when I was away, in good company, but not so good now
I HAVE to declutter and that means throwing loads of stuff out. Stuff that I may want in the future, but just haven't got space for now. I will have to be rethless
3dogs, there is not much I can say to this other than take one day at a time and one thing at a time. Try to plan to sort one thing a day and no more, then if you have a sudden purge it will be a pleasant surprise instead of a chore. Try to make sure you go out somewhere each day too, even if it's just to sit in the garden, fresh air will make you feel so much more alive.
Have you thought of a memory box or 2. I have been keeping one of these since I was 12. Anything I have that means something to me, no matter how large or small, expensive or tatty. If it has a memory, but I have no use for it in my everyday life, into the box it goes. Over the years this box has become 2 and changed to a plastic one so that they can be kept safely in my loft. This may help you with some of the things you need to go through xxA clinically depressed person with a sleep condition. I'm in my own little world, but it's ok the people like me here
Any offence is not intentional, I'm really quite harmless

Life is too short for greed and arguments.
You never know what is around the corner.
A lot of what I have read on here in the last couple of days is moaning and sniping about what people post and where they post it. Seriously, there is so much more to life than that.
Enjoy life while you can.
I agree with you , while my daughter has not got cancer she has lost the sight totally in her left eye and has limited vision in her right eye, she has been given her white stick today and she has just turned 23 years old , she is my inspiration she does not moan she gets on with it, her opinion is life is too short and there are many people worse off than her, she loves the glitches on here, but if she misses out, she views it (she did not have it before so what is the problem, in life we miss out on many things, and missing out on a glitch or two does not reaally affect our lives, so we need to get on with it and take each day at a time, and if we get a glitch be happy with that)Jan lunch to work days 0/200 -
3Dogs dont beat yourself up its never going to be easy, the poor doggies are probably traumatised after being in kennels so long I'm sure they'll settle down & being away so long yourself it will take time for you to settle back in as well.
Re the clutter dont just think of doing it in one go see how you feel a drawer or two at a time, maybe more but do a tiny bit every day at least
Keep posting we're all here for you0
