    I have jsut spent 9 hours painting the bedroom and the bathroom.

    My legs don't want to move, and my hands are a little on the stiff side too.

    I wouldn't mind, but I think one of the walls needs another coat, it's already had three :eek::eek::eek: This was my DS's room before his stuff moved out 3 years after him, and this wall was a grotesque dark brown before ! It is now almost magnolia, boring but fine for a spare room.

    Evening all

    Just realised I have not been near sada in 4 weeks and have apgs expiring on monday.:eek:

    Had a lovely afternoon as thanks to this forum I have saved so much money I was able to take my darling mother out today and buy her birthday present.
    Mum wanted and desperately needed a new phone as hers was 5 years old and it made sense for us to be on the same provider so we could phone each other for free. So mum is now the proud owner of a samsumg galaxy ace her first 'grown up phone' as she calls it.
    It was so lovely to be able to treat her (although mum is not short of money she would not have changed her phone until it broke as from the 'make do and mend ' era).
    She will now not have to worry about taking her camera and sat nav everywhere with her.

    To top my day off my ceasers bingo on tcb became payable. Sorry to bargain queen that hers did not pay out though I had the same thing with william hill so I suppose it is swings and roundabouts.

    My gala bingo winnings from sunday night I split with mum as saturday she treated me to new wardrobes from ikea and my winnings meant I could afford to pay half the cost. Mum was thrilled by the gesture and means her cc bill will not be as much as she budgeted for.

    As its mums birthday tomorrow we are off to a felt making class for the day which is something I have never done.

    Not pleased with bzz agent as had email today telling me I had better get on with the tasks for the free from trial. Would gladly do more tasks if my tosco actually stocked half the stuff:mad:

    You're not into sci-fi then?

    Shame, I thought we had a chance :rotfl:

    Apparently there was a clash between a Dr Who festival and a Star Trek festival, and they had a punch up :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Don't know who won.

    That looks like a Dalek eye to me, and not a common one either!

    Same here, but I've taken them out of packet now so can't take them back, will a couple of weeks harm? it's a cheek though.....
    We're just happy to have a home, a family and our health. Whatever else is just added and it fits. :)

    Has anyone checked the Frijj Chocolate Milkshake are they on offer instore or not?? as all the other flavours are showing on msm and sada.com 2 -£1.50

    No, though I do have some Yazoo 475mls as being on offer in M (until 2/6) at 50p. Not very useful though regarding your multibuys question or if you are (or anyone else is) in Northern Ireland.

    ...Ohh!! Quite exhausting:rotfl::rotfl: (but I'm okay:rotfl:) getting the two carryover posts on here just now!! There's no chance of me catching up or making any other posts or answering other questions tonight as there's too much change to be added to the M lists - I'll get onto those and sorry if I'm not distracted away from them. So if I appear to be ignoring you all tonight, please be assured I'm not!:) Just taking a short break (relatively short break) now and then I'll start to add some new items onto the lists.

    Would have been great if I'd come home to a ready prepared house and meal earlier, but afraid not! I guess I can't have everything on a plate (even literally!) and not to worry as, having already eaten now, everything will be all sorted in due time!

    If I'm not back with more prose, I'm busy away on the M lists and goodnight for later!!:rotfl::)

    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up & never give up.
