    Gonna be funny when these boards are full of 80 YOs lol

    Instead of whether it is ethical to take the fresher stock from the back of the chillers, you'll be asking if it is ethical to use your zimmer frame to block people in the race to the whoopsies.

    This time next week I'll be fckin 50 - not a good thought.

    Closer to death.

    Wiser?

    Doubt it lol,

    But closer to death and I worry about what my severely autistic son will do with himself when I'm dead 40 years before he dies if you see what I mean.

    squillion I couldn't read your post and not reply :o you already know Im in your exact position I understand totally. I decided a few years ago to stop worrying about the inevitable and do practical things to make a difference to the future. I still worry of course but the following make it easier for me.

    1. I look after me both physically and emotionally in the hopes that a healthier me will mean Im around for longer

    2. I opened a high interest ( when there was high interest :rotfl:) bank account and when I worked paid a substantial amount in every month....no matter what, that money went in before anything else. I never ever touched it, just moved it around for the best return. Ive been able to add to it substantially thanks to my dear dad :A and it is now a very nice nest egg for my sons future care

    3. Ive put alot of thought into bringing up my other 2 kids. Involved them in their brother's care and made sure they have an understanding of his needs. They already love him to bits anyway and are growing up to be caring and responsible young adults. I don't expect either of them to take their brother on full time. I want them to have their own lives. But I do know they will use no.2 to make sure that their brother is looked after the way he should be, however that may be. And I trust that they will make good decisions.

    I don't know if any of that helps? but always good to get a perspective from someone in the same position......Except Im not 50 yet :p

    I knew i saw it compare somewhere

    Many thanks for this - I'd seen this womble before, but forgotten it had the Heinz 4 pack tinned tomatoes on it, and when I saw this on the 'Savvy Buys' for A on MSM.co.uk today, at £1.00, I thought it was a fairly good deal. My mistake was looking at the comparison details and seeing N/A for everywhere else on MSM.co.uk - underneath it all, I know I should never trust that!:rotfl:

    I went to try to buy these packs with one of my APGs this afternoon (not a comp. shop just spending it on some fairly good value item) - couldn't find the product and asked one of the staff, who told me they used to stock these but they have been discontinued and sadly they didn't have any left. Good luck if you can find them - and *don't* put on a comparison, esp. not vs T!

    Some of the best presents I have ever had have been experiences:)

    How about taking her to lunch or an expensive cream tea at a posh hotel:)

    Best not to ask what sort of 'experiences' :eek:

    Silvercar..... Am I seeing things or have you just edited your post.:):)

    I was sure you mentioned the "meat" word originally. I was giggling and then it just changed.

    It's just become a swear word:rotfl:

    Edit.....Oh goodness it's not you it's me. I'm seeing the word everywhere. Think it was Flo who quoted you............
