    Most I've been able to use is 2 at the till but CS will take another 2. They never check my receipt.

    Feel like staring one of those jars full of £2:)

    Good morning all. I've caught up:j
    Sfsb so sorry for your loss.
    Ts make the most of any time you have to yourself. I agree with others that it is a relief when it's over, but there can be a feeling of guilt later for feeling that way. I felt it with my Dad. I looked after him full time. He had pancreatic cancer and was in so much pain at times, despite the morphine, that I wished for a speedy end so he wouldn't suffer any more. The guilt for wanting that took a while to work through, but I knew I'd done my best for him, and he stayed at home with me, which is what he wanted.
    Nice to see FK posting again, don't be a stranger. Let's have some more of yor photos:D
    Whatever happened to jamsponge with her dolphin updates? Not seen a post from her for ages, or have I just missed them. (I do tend to skip a bit when I'm behind:o)
    Love VT's idea for homemade Easter eggs.
    Logie, look after yourself.
    No flooding in my garden, but it looks so sad at the mo. It was beautiful last summer.( I have some pics if anyone would like to see them). I won't be doing much to it before our holiday, just a tidy up, and will sort it out after.
    Right, enough waffle, I'm off to do a shopping list. I appreciate all the effort that Savvy puts into his lists, but have trouble with the detail.:o ( Working nights addles your brain:p;))
    I need some veggies for Sunday lunch, as mil, Mum & her partner coming for the roast cheapie lamb, so may shop later, in time for whoopsies. My locals are all shut tomorrow, so hoping they will be reducing lots:D
    Bye for now, sending hugs to those in need.
    Yes please we have not had many photos posted recently:cool:

    I was happy using my 2 as I bought multi buy items that came to £20 before the discount kicked in :D

    Does this happen to anyone else.

    When I really like a thread I don't thank it as I'm too busy reading it or thinking about it. So quite often I don't thank the threads I really enjoy...................
