    got back from a's, picked up barrels. had whoopsies but too expensive for me. Wombled some receipts.

    popped to aldi's, plenty of half price turkeys also had 50% of some short date stuff.

    homebase still has lonely looking trees. but got asthma so didn't want to risk it.

    just started raining here though. might walk/ bus later in case there's any really cheap stuff.

    hate turkey though.

    postie arrived ho ho merry Christmas here is your service charge bill, lots of love barking and dagenham:rotfl::rotfl:

    Merry Christmas one and all x

    I had a meltdown yesterday , cried buckets and hid in bed. I have to say I feel better for it and am currently changing beds, sorting fridge, cooking a ham and waiting to wrap last few presents. 'Better out than in' my mum says - I think she's right.

    Thoughts still with all those finding Christmas a battle like me xx

    Just noticed that J.P. Chenet Grenache Red Wine (750ml) is on A's site as 3 for £10 but not showing as in multibuy on msm.
    Is it showing for anyone else?

    It's back now.

    . I do think a chaise lounge is a good description of you though. Stylish yet comfortable and laid back :)

    Oooo, just seen a wedding car go up the street. Good day to get married, should be easy to remember the anniversary ;)


    Noooo don't don't don't. My mate got married on New years Eve. You don't want that many things to prepare for at the same time!:eek:
