    Happy Friday everyone

    Went to Bruce Springsteen concert at Coventry last night. I still have ringing in my ears and a smile on my face but, please someone, tell me how I can feel so tired - all I did was queue for 8 hours and shout, scream and clap for 3 hours - when did I get so old?

    Hope everyone is doing well with their new eating regime (have decided to call it this because everyone I know says "oh, another fad diet, can't be good for you - as if being four stone overweight is good for me)

    SNAP...kitchen roll restocked with 4 pk today. Only managed a couple of packets yesterday as little man was asleep in his pushchair..no mags yet, no wash liquid..smaller bottles and more expensive in my a'.

    Went into body shop for the free lip balm, assistant said I had to spend £5:eek: , join there club which would get me a discount card for free.(.retails usually at £5) just to get the lip balm that's supposed to be free:mad:

    No thankyou:eek:

    So not a happy bunny.....

    Good afternoon everyone...miserable here today...fine rain/mist

    FAIRCLAIRE were you asking for cheap wine for hampers?..

    There's some in sada on roll back to £2.50, don't know what it's like but there's a rose and a white ..label says three mills classic fruity. Hth
    Thought I'd give it a try.

    Lunch time..ttfn:)

    yes I was. Cheap but not too nasty :D I did order 12 bottles from Ts and it was delivered when I was away so I opened it yesterday and it was a 12 bottle box with only 6 bottles in??
    I rang Ts and they said that the other 6 were lost in transit?? How that is when they just weren't in the box, I don't know? I got so hacked off with the lady on the phone that I asked for a refund. So yes, I still need more :) Thank you, I will have a look

    Snap, what do you do with the aloe vera leaf? Just put it in the pot and the slugs prefer it? I've an aloe vera on my kitchen windowsill that's been getting on my nerves and I was considering throwing away, but if it could be useful..... :) TIA

    Oops, just spent £30 on chocs for myself from Thorntons :o

    If anyone else loves the viennese ones as much as I do, the bags are 1/2 price (1.48) and on 3 for 2 so less than 99p each :D (and quidco rate is better than tcb at the mo ;))
