Hi All
Just noticed that Tesco have the Finest jumbo king prawns on offer - half price £2.50, if anyone has managed to find the £2 off Finest food voucher, I was wondering if if would work, like it did at christmas, with the till seeing the full price of £5, if so, buy 2 bags for £3 using the voucher, sorry cannot try it out for all you lovely people as I have not found the vouchers, as yet!!

Been lurking a bit - been soo busy with real life stuff but been popping in when time allowed. Hope the poorly peeps & kiddiwinks are all on the mend:T:T and that life is being kind to you all.

Picked up a few bargains in tosco - desk fans reduced to £2 each (yes, I know I won't be needing them for a while lol) floor standing fans reduced to £5, some bath towels (only white cheapo stuff but for £1.30 each they're ok), hand towels (same cheapo) .50p and some nice duvet sets reduced to £5.

Good morning all



My DB went on a cruise with Royal Carribean and they were confiscating any cans or bottles upon boarding, they clearly wanted every penny they could squeeze out of you. Glad to see P&O are not like this.



Hey Neosi, hope all is well with you. It was mentioned a little while back that you might have some good F1 pictures? Any chance of a looksie?

TIA

Yep - thats one of the guilty ones :mad::D:mad:

I dunno about that - to me it was expensive and the lid was not as well fitted as it should be.


Over the years I have always used Le Creuset cast iron - I have never paid full price.....usually TK Maxx and IMHO the pots are much better animals than that Pyrex one.

Evening.
I'm not staying on too long tonight, don't feel very sociable at the moment. Quite a few things going on in RL that are making me feel so down it's unbelievable, cap that off with the complete and utter loneliness I'm feeling at the minute and it doesn't make for a good situation. I'm not sleeping well, which doesn't help. Not being able to leave the dogs for long is making things worse, as is having to clear up every time I do leave, not to mention the amount of money to replace everything before my annual housing officer visit.
Being given a hard time for deciding that I'm not the best person to look after 'the beast' by so called animal rescuers is really getting to me. At least I haven't just advertised him on scumtree and given him to the first person who said they'll take him, I care where he goes to, I want him to be looked after well, I want him to go to someone who loves him as much as I do:(
I can't talk to the person I usually talk to because she's got her own problems and tried to end it all last week after having a breakdown a few days before:(
Life just isn't fair, those of us who play by the rules get all the carp of the day thrown at us while others 'seem' to get an easy ride. Or maybe they're just like me, they hide everything away, let the world think they're doing fine while underneath they're falling apart , if only someone would notice that little bit of sadness lurking behind the facade they would realise that person needs help.

So after giving a little insight into my carp mental state and potentially bringing the thread down I'm gonna try and get some sleep, I'll probably be vey restless and grind my teeth as usual then wake up in the morning feeling like I've been up all night.
I feel a little better for 'saying' all that so hopefully will sleep a little easier.

Goodnight

Dear SD,
I don't post here very often as I don't feel like I have a lot to say. I am new and don't have a lot to contribute but I am around most of the time and have read all your posts. I didn't feel like I could read and not respond to this one. I really, really feel for you. What you are coping with from The Beast would have tipped me over the edge ages ago. You really must be a saint. You are doing the absolute best thing by finding him a loving home. As far as those animal rescue people are concerned please try to remember what it says in someone's signature (sorry forgotten who!) but I think it's a great mantra to hold on to, it's along the lines of 'remember opinions are not facts, listen to them but then move on'. They don't know you and your situation. You must do what is best for you and ultimately for The Beast. I think your son must be very proud of you and your strength. Even if he is too young now to see it, he definitely will look back when he is older and marvel at the way you are dealing with things. I hope you don't feel that I am intruding. I just wanted you to know that even though we don't know each other, I am thinking of you and actually you are an inspiration. Please don't stay away. I have seen that there are other people on here who care about you very much and your posts may just help other people to know that they are not alone in their problems and maybe help them to cope better with what they are going through. I know that sometimes other people's problems can help me to put mine in perspective a bit. Thank you for sharing with us and please know that you have certainly helped me. I will go back into (mostly) lurkdom now but hope to contribute more when I am able.
Love and hugs xxx
