    Finally I have some 1p scanners!! Found the Jacob's biscuits - added the odd banana, onion, flump as the self scan was empty and staff were circling. I have never thrown my pound coin into the slot so quickly!

    Many thanks OP.

    Oh, and even found a lonely little '£0.21 off your next shop' on the floor on the way out. I have re-homed.

    Evening all.

    I haven't been invited next door either for a cuppa, or even to lend a cup of sugar.

    Invited ... I'm not even sure what 'next door' is :rotfl:

    Evening Elite. Well, that's Mam's funeral out of the way :( The service went very well and my reading of the verse, which I actually enjoyed doing, was complimented on. Everyone thought that the service reflected Mam to a T so we were happy, and everyone was singing 'She'll be coming round the mountain' as they left :rotfl: 3 carers/nurses came from the care home, plus some childhood friends of me and my sister, and most of our cousins on Dad's side from Newcastle, St Albans, Northampton, Stirling, and one from Gibraltar. I am the youngest of these cousins at 59, the eldest being 80, and that's the couple who drove from Stirling and back to be at the service. Mam was the last of a generation to them all, so it was even more poignant for us all :( Mam only had one step-sister-in-law left on her side, and we couldn't contact her so assume she was away. Still, enough there to give her a good send off she deserved :beer:

    We had a good natter over tea/coffee/drink and buffet back at my sister's house before they all went their separate ways. It is a shame that we only see each other at times like this, but was great to catch up with everyone, and I have been invited to visit a couple of them for a break :D

    After my niece and family, and my brother, left around 5.30pm, we have just relaxed, as it was a stressful day

    Tomorrow, my sister and I are going to collect the beautiful floral displays from the crem and take them over to our local cemetery to put on Grandad/Dad's grave, where Mam's ashes will be interred on Monday 29th April. That plot will then contain the remains of my Grandma who I never knew as she died in 1934, and my Granda who died when I was only 7, plus the ashes of three of their 9 children, being 2 of my uncles and my Dad, and finally my Mam. I was coming up anyway for my sister going on holiday on 1st May so we organised it for this date to fit in with that, and I will travel up on Sunday 28th

    R.I.P. Molly, God Bless :A

    Off to do some catching up now - back laters :beer:

    Glad everything went ok today Susan. I think lots of families nowadays only get together for family weddings and funerals as they all live so far apart. Hugs Caz x

    Evening all.

    I haven't been invited next door either for a cuppa, or even to lend a cup of sugar. I did knock but no-one was at home.

    I am one of quite a few who have been booted out of next door without even any reason why :(

    I quite like it here, its like comfy slippers :)
