    Hello paw sniffers,

    Very busy day.

    Travelled to Leeds and got DS settled into his new place. We are so happy it's a step up from the run of the mill student accommodation. I think he will be happy there. Within walking distance of the city centre and walking (very long walk) distance to his first job which he starts on Monday. He says he might cycle into work. I'll try not to worry about the city centre traffic.

    Lovely reading back to see how helpful everyone was earlier with coupons etc. this is such a really friendly thread and I feel privileged to be a part of it:)

    Happy jollibobs DM:T

    That's the very ship ;) if only you were on now, it would have saved me having to hang my shirts up ;)

    Hope you have a fab holiday DM. Will there be wifi on the ship (sorry if stupid question, I'm a bad sailor so have no idea what might be on board)
    Yes, but it is stupid price, off the top of my head about £60 for 45 mins, so I may go quiet for a while, but just wait till my shore days :)

    Oh, and to save my (last remaining) sanity, can we have NO wine glitches for 14 days please!

    He should really have taken us with him as "paid help".

    We could have had one of those "m!nage a trois" where we were paid in kind:D

    I nearly embarassed myself on one of my T's shops this morning. I had a £3 wys £20 till spit to get rid of so very carefully worked out that 8 JF sachets, Finest burgers, face wipes, tomatoes and 1 Emmi would take me up to over £20 and I could use the JF, Emmi, till spit , £1 Finest Burgers coupon and my £5 L'oreal voucher they sent me cos I moaned about a product.

    I'm on a Fast Day today and it was getting late so my brain couldn't have been working too well cos the total came to £23 dd and, by the time he'deducted all my coupons bar the Emmi one, the balance was only £1.11 - fortunately he agreed to input the Emmi coupon as just £1.11 instead of full price. So my balance was Zero - first time I've managed that and the guy behind me in the queue looked dumfounded. Good job my DH was sitting in the car - he embarasses very easily and runs a mile when I bring the coupons out.

    :T Well done tbw :T

    I think I am melting :o

    Waited ages for you BUBBS but you never came (or should that be arrived!). I even waited an extra hour in case you took a detour to a Sada! How rude indeed.

    QOC hope your brother is OK.

    What a scorcher it is today. My hayfever has gone doolally. Hope all the other sufferers are OK.

    Don't know, maths is never my strong point, I expect aau will know the answer though :)
    And don't think I am letting the little jibe about the wine glitch went unnoticed ;)

    Hmm, I have a bottle of fizz to open when we set off, wish they would bladdy hurry up, as my JD is taking a hammering while I wait!
