I was behind a bus on the way home with an advert for the new Tesco extra at Sunderland

Have I missed something DM.

I haven't been to Sunderland for a while and I know there was talk of them building one on the old Vaux brewery site?

I think it just opened this week some time, so no point looking for 1p items there as it will be all new stock. It is where the old ten pin bowling place used to be, just over the bridge, so on the wrong side of town for me, although I suppose I could make it work with a detour from Boldon Asda. There is a massive new Sainsburgs opened near it too, that is like a ghost town.

Well, like yesterday, I chased a few glitches today, and still walked away with nothing, *sigh*.

Hmm. I used them and it wasn't a happy experience.

After 2 hours with the car they phoned to ask if I wanted everything in "their" service plan or everything in the dealer service plan, because if I wanted the latter it would be an extra £40.

...and they never got Happy Debs on board - the investment never went ahead.

Just rang up 5:27 to say they could not do the service tomorrow amazing :mad: but they could after the 3rd of July :eek:
Oh well could be ff after all fuzzy will have to ring around tomorrow now

yes thanks,have started some treatment for a few months so hopefully that means i can go on hol just waiting for result of ct scan.have to say all docs and vic have been brilliant but i am lucky in that i was signed off so could go to appointments at any time.are you any further on?
how was your day in manc?did you manage to get any of the no7 at the big store there?so annoying theres no stores with ss tills around here.:)

Im glad you're getting treatment and it's all going well. I visited my GP and found about being referred for private treatment but I have done any thing else about it yet. It's not something necessary, just something to make life a little easier sometimes IYKWIM? I'll get on it once all the end of term madness is out of the way.
My day out was lovely, thank you! I didn't go mad on the No.7, just bagged what I needed as by the time I got to Boots I had been very naughty in alot of other shops

Evening All

Had a Nice big mooch around Mr T after my art class but think I was beaten to the tic tacs. Huge empty space and I did look up. Tried wine gums with no luck but might have been the wrong ones.
Was actually doing a big coupon shop. Had put to one side all moc I was planning to use and written a list. Forgot list of course.
Managed to work my way through coupons. Didn't get all Dr O I wanted as lack of choice with blue heart on box but did double up vouchers.
This was a store without self scanners to mentally added up shopping to and thought I was a bit under so bought clothing ( something I actually wanted)
Added up wrong of course but got £73 down to £30 and a £2 pp so very happy.

Found first caramel Emmi but only the one so lots of skinny lattes to.

So who had been in Cr00ksf00t and had all the tic tacs? Should have checked here before shopping as could have tried the smints instead but not going to rush out locally as had a tiring day.

Glad Bb's cat turned up safe and sound and also Logies purse.
Think it might be a good idea to do a list of purse contents as so many cards with various points on and quite a few gift vouchers.
