On a different note i just wrote an email to my 4 siblings. As you know I look after my Mum basically full time and although 2 of them live within 15 miles she has only seen me or the lady who gets her up in the morning for the last 17 days. I sent them a list of things that need doing in the house. i.e.electrical or plumbing. I also said i wanted Sunday off for Mother's Day.
Let's see what trouble that causes. I am trying to be more positive about life and speak up for myself instead of moaning.

Excellent - what are you going to do to the first one that says you should look after her as it is Mother's Day? I just hope they can run fast! Seriously though, I think it is absolutely ridiculous the way you have been stuck with all this.

I remember caring for my mum when I was young, she was terminally ill with cancer and it included emptying her commode among other things. I worked during the day and came home and had to look after her. I took the day off work for my 21st birthday and planned to go out with mates for the first time in ages. (couldn't leave mother in the evening as father worked then) Woke up on my birthday and my father had !!!!!!ed off out so I had to cancel. He said he thought I had taken the day off to be with my mother on my birthday :mad::mad: This in spite of the fact that I had two brothers that lived at home :mad::mad:

Sorry about that rant. Seriously though, I hope you get your well deserved day off

My trigger was a hair accessory to keep my hair up..... Don't ask, just look for them in store, easy to find! None at present are listed on MSM so you can choose from any in store that are labeled up on the 2 for £4 deal. Match up with a Herbal Essences that is on offer in Sainsbobs, check msm for these. As you can see I got Ignite my Colour cond.

I also have £1.20 to claim from quidco, and got a £2 gift card handed to me for being over charged on a bottle of wheel cleaner in the sale isle. It's a spray bottle and had a SEL of 44p and scanned at £1.

A happy shop. :j:D:j:D:j:D

All the usual suspects, but also note radox Handwash is in 3 for £3 offer..... along with a Dry shampoo, (the trigger) but NOT the Blush one that IS on MSM. Make sure you get the other one. My store had a stand where you could find little travel items which is where it was. makes the 3 items somewhere around £1 give or take the odd few pence. :j:j:j

I thought i'd just bump my contributions. I am happy that I have found 3 triggers in 3 days, it does start to get addictive, but I must stop. My house is far too full of fillers... (yeh, filling my little house, lol)
Seems there are more to be had out there today, maybe short term ones, but hopefully some longer living ones too! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Hope you all have a good day, I know I won't be here much until Sunday, unless I get time to lurk briefly!
