I sympathise, they all seem to go at the same time, don't they, and I'm having a similar spell at the moment. Just check the obvious things before you call anybody out, I taught 2 washing machines the error of their ways yesterday, one with a loving slap, the other with clearing the filter. xx

I took my dishwasher apart 13 months ago - it was leaking and cutting out. I opened it up and saw the leak...looked up the internet for a solution and found one. It involved spending 65p on plumbers tape:D

Still not good - on life support, fully wired and piped up, probably in septic shock, black and blue all over, have to see how she does through the night but it could go either way.

so many people needing the positive thoughts and prayers but if anyone has any spare ones send them in her direction, she is going to need them to get through this.

Just read this too mhoc - my goodness, the poor lady.

Mhoc - really awful news and I will say a little prayer. It was only 2 months ago that tiger cub had meningitis, it attacks really quickly. Sending my love xx

Thank you, it's a horrible thing, strikes so quickly.

But it's another thing they will never have a vaccine for or at least not for a good while.

but it made me realise today youngest son is in one of the groups that are more liable to get it so I went through it with him, what to look out for, one of his mates could arrive at uni in the morning just a bit off colour and by lunch time be flagging ....

The eight pack of coke a good one against t's tomorrow

You guys will be ok but no 8 packs in NI I believe

My Ts have 8 packs but As do not. Both show when signed into MyS....? So will they compare? I think I may have to test it out

:T Set for life. Once you learn the MSE ways, there is no going back. It is like any other addiction - it is very very hard to shop any other way once you have started down this particular path

Through the help of MSE, my financial circumstances are starting to pick up, and I can see a time ahead when my DFW days are over. But I think it all gets so ingrained that there are certain habits which will stay for life :beer:

I have a friend who wants to follow the mse way and get rid of his debts. He sent me a text to say he's gone wombling. Or he called it rambling:rotfl::rotfl:

I sent him off with martin's thrifty book and have been showing whoopsie shopping.

My first double difference - I dont even like whisky but it will come in for a present - couldnt resist.


Sell £22 - Price £28 = £12 back = £16
came in a nice box too
Offere finished 1st Jan - but didnt take the label off

The Port was still labelled too - might get that tomorrow - start of my Xmas stash - cant remember the name but it was a fat little bottle

I used to live in on west green rd. I loved to walk to wood green..

now it has a big primark and wilkinsons so not so bad.

I used to live in Victoria Road and used to tell people my address was Alexandra Palace - never mentioned wood green...there used to be a safeway there in my day .:o

Evening lovelies. :hello:
How is everyone doing?
I am shattered, the boy has decided that he no longer needs a nap in the afternoon. The day is so much longer without an hours peace and quiet, i think i might start having one instead. :D
