    On the brighter side I did an MT /vinnies shop at 12 ish and decided to do a circuit of town, on the route I bumped into a woman I know (shes in her sixties) after a chat I gave her a MT, she was really pleased, when her husband turned up he mentioned he was running a christmas raffle, guess what he got (a vinnies and an MT !), so I went back to As and did a couple of Thornton/MT shops before getting the Tesco bus home.
    The bus driver was a very young Polish guy, hes got a MT for his girlfriend, I dont generally do that sort of thing but I felt a real need in myself to be positive.
    Assuming the APGs come through OK It will have cost me about £3 - I feel a lot better, I've had a kiss, a handshake, three smiles, and four people are happier, now that is a bargain!

    THAT IS FABULOUS - you are wonderful.. please have nearest person pat you on the back. xxxx :T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T

    Did I read Nikkilala hasn't got chocs & biccies?????
    If I did, I know you're on a diet but we will give most away to our delivery people, reps and suppliers as xmas treats.
    Perhaps hubby might be needing some, they make good "bribes" along with the wine, lol.

    The things that you do whilst you are waiting the 3 hours for your APG.

    I have just got back from the local vets where I took a lovely spaniel type dog that befriended me on the way home from Asda. I live near a woods and thought its owner would be in the woods looking for it. After 40 mins tramping through the woods it didnt look like anyone was out looking for it. It had a tracer tag but no local number so I used my belt as a lead and took it to the local vets. Apparently this dog is known to the vets and it gets out often. I was worried that it would get run over as there are some busy roads around here. Dog was a real cutey and she (as I found out at the vets) gave me very sad eyes when I left her. Hope that she will be okay. Was a long walk and I am knackered but at least I dont have so long to wait for my apg results now. After all that I hope that I did them right.
    My life gets weird. Some days I just think that I might be the subject of a hidden camera show. :rotfl:

    loving everyones good deeds today- thats lovely :T:T:T Good luck with the APG :j

    Nikki is on SW like me, it's a fab diet cos we are allowed little treats!
    We have 15 syn points a day, so enough for a couple of biscuits or chocolates :D

    Yes, I frequented that drinking establishment but was more of a regular in the Pale Coloured Deer. The Parrys/Barnabys etc. were all Oak regulars.

    Now I'm certain we know some of the same people .

    I never took to the Deer full time but did have a few swift halves in there when Connie / Keith ran the establishment many many (many) moons ago .

    If it wasn't for Martin and the Glitch Gang we'd never had made this cyber friendship , fancy a baked spud ?:)
    I was young once , now I get older all the time .

    Don't I just know:rotfl::rotfl:

    I haven't been doing any choc shopping in sada for a few days as I got badly trouted there over using two apgs in a day. Some SAs/supervisors are scrutinising the receipts very closely. On the second occasion (about six hours later than first) supervisor remembered authorising my APG earlier in the day and refused to take another one as she did not believe it could have been generated from a shop that size. Didn't make a fuss just waited a couple of days and used it today without any probs. SA didn't even call a supervisor for authorisation. Luck of the draw I suppose:cool:
    Awaiting a new sig
