    Anytime fire**fly :A xx
    We had a bit of thunder & lightening but now it's brightened up again! It's so clammy though and there's a small annoying fly that keeps landing on me but I can't catch!
    Today at mams, someone got her a scratch card but she asked me to scratch the rest off as she couldn't understand it. As I got to the last number on it a bird crapped on my hand and mam won £10 on the scratch! :D

    Have hardly seen rain today FF and it was supposed to be a wet day. Nearly didn't go away as we thought it would be too wet. Getting fed up of the rotten forecasts they hardly ever seem to get it right any more.
    Glad you liked the pics. I love the one with the giant rhubarb it makes me feel like I have been shrunk! Those gardens were amazing - hope to go back next year.

    FF: Are you having Tesco calling on Saturday?

    I'm doing Ocado dis Sat as 15% off, £70 basket for £59.50 + eve del @ £2.99
    Went for as many offers on regulars as could, so further savings.



    Fish are not too bad.
    Goldfish easiest as can turf them out periodically to clean the whole tank.
    Tropical, I have a gravel vac as they are too hard to catch
    to do a whole clean.
    Filter cleans and water changes regularly
    I buy Aquarian foods, occasional treats/extras.
    The Neons grab a whole blood worm!

    Tesco still have the spend £40 get £5 voucher off following week on. Used last weeks voucher on the way home and got another one - no signs up to tell us about it. Also bought 3 boxes of Kellogs cereals for £6 to get a 5p off petrol voucher.
    Called in to Morrisons Carlisle to spend my £50 vouchers too. DH found a bargain on a Malt whisky that he likes and a multi buy on Fosters Lager so not much left for me! Got 2 bottle of rose wine. Don't grudge him them as I am going to treat myself to a new laptop from the joint account when I see a bargain. A comper needs her tools and I can't see what I'm typing on this one sometimes.:eek:

    Won't spend them just for the sake of spending them ILC. They are 5x £10 so handy anyway. T

    :rotfl: It won't be wasted ILC! What I meant was I won't buy anything I could get somewhere else cheaper. Didn't mean I would spend them wisely. Stock up on booze in England as cheaper than Scotland usually.

    Just want another Toshiba Laptop as I have found them good.

    Off to bed now - good night all. x
