Morning all.

I see T have got rid of their 4 packs of lucozade sport for £1.62 and are now back to selling them at £3.60 - £4.00 each or 2 for £6.00. :eek::eek::eek:

I can't see that they weren't making a profit at £1.62, so that's one hell of a mark up !!!!

On a slightly better note, 750g of Special K is marked up at £3.00 - that's cheaper than the 550g pack

HTH

I know is disgusting the price difference, my boys usually drink this, I was going to get some more today, and noticed the price had gone up, typical, I wont buy it at this price.

Well, i'm all caught up and a bit warmer after a hot chocolate

Am trying not to be totally :mad: at the OH. House is a tip this morning. He had mates over for the 3rd night this week last night out in the garage (so they don't bring germs in the house). Tonight he is fixing someone's car so I won't see him properly then either.

I know he works hard and I shouldn't expect him to come home and start the housework but I am starting to struggle This morning he ran out of the door yelling that his work boots had left a load of mess on the floor and 'it'll need hoovering!' :mad:
Am stressing about the bugs in the kitchen/bathroom and how I should at least blitz them but I honestly haven't got the energy this morning. It's taking everything I've got just to keep up with what the little ones need Have lost the plot at DS1 twice already this morning only to end up a blubbering mess myself.

Thank God lovely Home Start lady due here at 10. It's one of those days where everyone at work and I just need a bit of support. Very grateful to be able to rant away here :A Sorry I'm on a bit of a downer.
Think I might have a nice warm bath when Home Start lady here. Will try and cheer myself back up Of course if Mr Shoes/BS reading, if you could keep my remaining orders uncancelled that may help :D

((Big Hugs)) to you Logie, I really don't know how you manage it all, I would come and do some cleaning for you if I lived closer to you (actually I have no idea where you live). Enjoy your nice soak in the bath, hope you have lots of calm relaxing bubble bath in their with you and fingers crossed for your Mr Shoes/BS orders. Take care and just do the necessary jobs and leave the rest, it will still be there tomorrow, next week when things are a little better/easier.

Oh Sorry, good morning everyone, lovely bright sunny day here today.

My youngest DS birthday today he is 10.

Logie, sending you massive hugs!
If I could send my DH round to yours to do your housework I would (I moan about him but he's a god send when it comes to washing up and ironing as he does half the time I don't have the energy).
I don't know where you get your energy from, you are an absolute legend in my eyes, I don't think I'd have half the get up and go you do if I was in your situation.
Have a nice long bath and a box of MT if you get some time for yourself.
Oh and lots more hugs as well

Just had 3 BS orders arrive by postie - 2 padded envelopes and a small box. 2 orders complete with everything I ordered, the other only had 2 hemp balms with a note on the invoice at the 2 gift sets saying 'Sorry this product was not available' the boogers!

Ah well you win some you lose some. Not much I can do anyway as did manage to get a few whole orders with freebie gift sets. Hope everyone is lucky with theirs
