    I might try this on my Avs Morries list to see if the plural is recognized (just looked back, your "mug shot" was in a different context). Just tried it - the plural doesn't get censored! But, as a new addition, the Mug Shots will have to be in bold so a little flaw to it there!

    Mugshots come up as one word on my predictive text so mugshots does too

    I learnt the hard way. I had a phone call from a gp surgery asking if the patient really was up to date with his !!!!!! :o:o:o

    Evening all. Not been on much lately, RL in the way. Have managed to get a few maggis, and pasta over the past number of days, and glad the crisps are back on offer. Really like the beef flavoured ones, salt and vinegar are ok, prawn cocktail tasted disgusting. :o

    Got a nice surprise tonight. Bought 5 theatre programmes 2 weeks ago for £1 off car boot. Like looking at old programmes, but usually only look at them once then they sit in a draw. Anyway these were quite old. 1890-1910, so thought I'd put them on ebay. They've only gone and sold for a combined sum of £30 :eek::eek:. Been doing a happy dance all evening :D:rotfl:.
    Happy to know someone else might get enjoyment out of them too though:)

    Thanks - you know when you take a child wombling you are actually giving it a large slice of education. Teaching it how to survive if money is tight and that you can actually make money from litter. Her maths at school is superb for her age - result of counting whether a receipt is eligible within the 28 day thingy, tallying up 8 different items etc and total of the shopping in basket versus the total of apgs we have. Moral of the story take your kids wombling and watch their maths improve!!!!

    hello, just back from a whoopsie run which all i can describe as is embarrassing! There was at least 20 people fighting for fruit! Poor manager was squashed. In the end it just wasnt worth the hassle. Was lovely to see the "usuals" although we were missing our wise old man. When did whoopsying get to be a scrummage!
    Hi barbara numbers I was there last night with the old one it nearly kicked off between 2 of them (not artha)
    It was bad I dont need cheap mince that much :eek:

    Not a great ebayer but selling DH's levi jeans. First pair have gone for £17. The ones I had on watch have gone for twice as much. Need to refine descriptions and improve photos I think:)

    Do you use the iPad app to list TM? It's so much easier than doing on a laptop or PC. No faffing around with pictures. It's alot easier and speedier

    Sorry to hear your hands are still giving you trouble, I had wrist splints and the do work especially at night time. I got mine from a chemist, not boots, they dont sell them, like a little old fashioned one. Hope they sort it out for you, I would still go back to docs aswell, if it doesnt ease.

    We only really have co op and Mr Ts in our town. The chemist by the Drs is pretty small, they only have the tubigrip type supports rather than the ones with the metal bit in. Have had dispatch email this evening from Amazon seller so hoping they should arrive soon :) Already checked online for next weeks appt at the Drs ;)
