Thanks Nanamia, I came back yesterday to a letter for an interview for Tesco. It was today. I haven't beards back, but I'm keeping everything crossed.


It's not to late to order one. The last day is the 31st x

Lol, I better change it. X


So sorry to hear about your loss Feisty. You truly deserve a break. Hope the shop is going well x

Nanamia

Sorry was rudely interrupted mid flow so to speak. Back from the football, cold and a little disappointed that we drew after being 2-0 up. But hey ho!

Feisty and Mr Feisty you know I'm rubbish with words, but my thoughts are truly with you. Hoping things went well at the shop today and that DHs health will be on the mend very soon. Sending love and hugs xxx
Trendy I remembered in the night that Mrsinvisible was our in house expert, she is so very wise. I hope you are being kind to yourself today and that all goes well on Tuesday xxx
Mrsinvisible I always overspend even in the £shop! Have to have somebody with me with a back up bank account DD, DS, BFF, DN any body really will do. Haha. I'm back over drawn but it happens, I'll get out of it again at some point. Hey ho. Chuckled thinking about DD sorting DS out and threatening worse ha, maybe you could send her to me xxx
Mrsgigglewick glad you are all recovered and here's hoping you are back to your Christmas knitting very soon xxx
Laurajo aha the wrapping debate! It depends doesn't it if you have somewhere you can store the wrapped goodies safely where the paper, ribbon and bows won't be spoilt or prying hands won't get to them. I'm hoping to hit a happy medium this year maybe leave some things til first week in December. The lovelies on here are generally torn, we have some which love to wrap and those who really don't like it at all ( Linky ) Im in the love to wrap gang but usually forget that it takes me much longer than I think, however this year Linky has us in hand and we've weekly tasks to do and targets to follow, so fingers crossed I will be ok You are so in the right place x
Snugglebunny beautiful words and sentiments to our darling Feisty xxx
Always after a bargain it is good to have you back. I'm glad you'll eventually be financial secure, with your DHs job it's the very least you deserve. I have massive respect for the part you play too Are you buying your turkey crown early from M&S and freezing it? X
Money Maker thank you so much, wow shopping is so much easier with all these wonderful bargain hunters. Just need to keep up with my lists xxx
Choccymoose aww you poor thing. I hope 2014 will be much happier for you all. X
Marco dog SW sort of gets in your head, it's quite weird (I've never been to a class but follow the healthy eating plan and have lost 40lbs since the end of Feb) I've got a way to go to catch Msgigglewick obviously but I'm finding it a doddle to be honest. Even when you have a treat you make better choices ha listen to me! Shocking myself!!! X

Ooh I'm loving that! Have you bought from there before? I've not heard of it.


I had a mailing from Very today which was Xmas themed. Including some nice jumpers and tshirts. Not as cheap as primark but sometimes they offer discount codes??

Some others are in the book I was sent today but don't come up in a search unless you put in product code :cool:

I've used Halfcost a lot and they're ok. Not really fast delivery, but worth the wait for the bargains you can get.

Feisty-I'm so sorry to hear you've having such a rough time. Big hugs to you and anyone else who needs them.

I got these bowls (2 in a pack) from the 99p shop last year. They normally have similar things in each year.

Yes they are plastic bowls. I think they also did a Santa one and a Reindeer one.
As I said I got these last year, but most things re-appear the following year.
