Yes but in NI they get the pp at the till so we would know if you will get anything back.
It's still a decent deal at £5

ohhhhhh, i see, thank you so if i tried 2 green thai currys and any 2 sides plus fillers that would be ok?

TIA

My mum used to spit on her hanky, wipe it around my dirty face and tell me I looked like one of thirteen !!! All these old sayings will be lost if we don't keep them going....I don't know if thats a good or bad thing x

We always had a landing light too but I thought it was clever you comparing it to runways and planes

my nan and mum always say landing light (meaning upstairs )

and passage light (meaning down stairs hall)

we say landing light and hall light

Only ‘stumbled’ across the ELITElate last year (after I was made redundant and had lots of spare time tobrowse) and have become totally addicted. Just want to say a huge thanks to the generosity of everyone who posts,sharing all their valuable info on money saving and other tips. I have already become much more savvythanks to you guys. Also, I love how kindyou all are to one another, well most of the time

Fogot to say, my local had loads and loads of the boots reduced to £20.00, they had brown and black.

Another thing my mother used to say if the house was in a mess...' this place looks like poosy's house' never did find out who poosy was either :rotfl:

I have had to replace the Us in that with oo because it comes up as a rude word:eek:

Some funny sayings my Aunt used to say (she passed away on 29th December 2012) we all used to have such a laugh at them !

"Her, she wouldn't call the Queen her Auntie! " meaning the lady thought she was very posh.

"My a**e knows more about boiling snow than he does about (whatever the subject was at the time) meaning they didn't really have a clue !

"That would give your a**e the toothache" meaning is something i.e. a TV programme which was particularly bad !

There were so many more but thats all I can remember just now !

Afternoon. Just logging on to say hello and to give hugs to those that are in need of one.

We have a "big light" in the living room too.... And my DS (aged 3) calls it that too :rotfl:

When i was a stroppy teenager, my mums favourite saying was "your face would stand clogging" :eek: I never understood that one but I do now. another she favours is "I need putting in a bag and shaking up"
