Anytime my MIL sees me she says "Oh Labelle you look so pale and tired".
I was brought up to keep my gob shut(I know lol at that!!) but what I really want to say back to her is " I am sick ,sore and tired of looking at you sweetie:D"

One of my MIL favourites was
"if you did more housework he would help out more"......talk about defend the lazy sod, eh?

Morning all,
Looking at Walker hoop and crosses.
Mr T has them at £1.79, do they compare against Mr Ms as they have them at £1 voucher in Tosco mag for 50p off per product.
This would mean each pack could be 50p if my Maths are right:rotfl:

When I caught up a few had tried this and it hadn't matched to M

Only a few years ago i would of said how sad is that.But the money ive saved means i dont care what my mates say.:)

Personally I think that all of this thinking about prices, comparisons,APG,PP etc is keeping my mind just as active as thinking about deeper issues.:cool:

The buffet we put together for our party yesterday contained one or two pizzas

Good morning everyone - sunny and cloudy but lovely and warm here.

Busy day today, one load of washing out, the other just about to go out, Christmas Pudding ice cream made and in the freezer, washing up done, and that is just the start of the day!

I then have to get a paper, nip into town to try to pick up my free Star Trek T shirt, come back via T's for some more pizzas and an argument about the vouchers, and a hunt for 4p stuff. Hoping to get a care-free school age person on the till.

Morning! Listening to BBC Breakfast, am I being unreasonable in being irritated by them quoting the Which! survey saying people are struggling to put food on the table and having to dip into their savings(!). Surely if you have savings you're not struggling, or am I missing the point?

They also said a significant number pay with credit cards or loans - hopefully they took into a count that some of us pay with credit cards for points/Cashback and plan to pay off each month.

On a serious point, it is worrying if people can't afford food. I worry about some family members who say they are skint but then don't see the benefit of how I shop - I have tried to explain głitches and targeted shopping but to no avail . Some think I am just obsessed ...

Then I walk past some people in the supermarket, trolley stacked high just chucking anything in and I wonder how anyone can spend so much money or so little thought on food shopping. The number of times I have pointed out an offer that they have ignored (usually the free item in bogof - numpties!) or bought a smaller pack when a different size pack is available with more for less. I should be a personal shopper'b

That is so illogical - how could he help out more if you did more housework!

Personally I have tried going on strike for a week and no-one noticed, apart from the washing up which I had to do anyway because we ran out of plates and mugs!
