    Agreed.:p:p

    Life is v good at the mo. Sitting here talking bilge with my cyber buddies, drinking a tin of wifebeater, looking forward to my house sale completing in about a fortnight. I've never had any cash for pretty much my whole life and the prospect of having some is amazing.

    Isn't it funny that once you have kids, you no longer think of yourself? All I can think of is that we can now see them through uni without any problems, maybe buy them their first car and give them a deposit for their first house.

    !!!!!!, they are only 7 and 5!!:rotfl:

    So true! My eldest is about to go off to uni. I don't want to make life too easy for him, so he'll be slumming it with his fellow first year students in proper student accommodation :D It's an experience not to be missed :cool::D
    But it's a nice feeling to know that he won't finish uni up to his eyes in a debt that he'll have to spend years paying off. I have enough squirrelled away that he won't need student loans :D

    As for cars.....you don't need to buy them one, they just use yours until its not yours anymore :o:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Was it you who was asking about cheap loratodine tablets?? I think it was? I've had an email from pharmacy first about these. 6 months supply for £6.99 plus free postage. I tried to post a link for you but for some reason it was coming up with lots of !!!!s in??? It's pharmacy first.co.uk (without the space) and type loratadine into the search thingy.

    Why is pharmacy first (without the space) not allowed????

    It was hun, huge thanx for this :T
    I'll check them out in the morning :)

    Have you got the new house lined up yet:o
    It's good having a few extra quid to get things sorted:T but I've got the next 25 years to pay it ofF:eek:
    We're moving in with the MIL and probably spending the best part of the £100k+ we get from the sale of our house, extending and converting her house. It means that we will be mortgage free for life with a £300k house.

    However, we are doing it so we can look after her more easily and hopefully not have to use a care home for a long, long time. The garage will be converted to a large bedroom for her, the porch to a large bathroom with a shower and an extension built out the back, part of which will be her living room, with French doors to the garden and a skylight etc.

    I have everything crossed that it all works out as we have no backout plan whatsoever..

    I'm off for a break now, for RL. For those of you looking at T's fuel promotion, I did take the details at M for those items - for what's it worth:

    Flora Buttery 1kg - T £3.80 M £2.00 (but T PP came back N/A)
    Cathedral City Twin Pack - Mature - T £7.49:eek::eek::eek: M £6.55:eek::eek:
    Cathedral City Twin Pack - Variety - as above
    T Luxury Soft Toilet Tissue White (18 rolls) T £6.95:eek::eek::eek: M N/A (as opposed to our Nouvelle Soft 9 with 9 extra free (=18 rolls!) at £2.50 in T before)
    The Robinsons 1.75L are no longer on half price in M, and T seems to take £1.35 away from any PP by having a '2 for £6' utterly utterly ridiculous price on them (as opposed to M's 2 for £3 on the Jucee Squash three litres, and even that a price increase compared to the £1.37 each offer of some weeks ago).
    Robinson's Double Conc. Apple & Blackcurrant NAS 1.75L - T £3.65 (any 2 for £6.00, and you need two in order to get the five pence a litre off) M £3.00 each until 28/7.
    Robinson's Double Conc. Orange Squash NAS 1.75L - T 2 for £6.00 M £3.00 each until 28/7.
    Robinson's Double Conc. Orange and Pineapple NAS 1.75L - T 2 for £6.00 M N/A
    Robinson's Double Conc. Summer Fruits Squash NAS 1.75L - T 2 for £6.00 M N/A
    Robinson's Double Conc. Orange Squash 1.75L - T 2 for £6.00 M Is this the 'Orange Fruits Squash' version? If so, M £3.00 each, otherwise M N/A
    Robinson's Double Conc. Blackcurrant and Apple Squash 1.75L - T 2 for £6.00 M N/A
    Robinson's Double Conc. Lemon Squash NAS 1.75L - T 2 for £6.00 M N/A
    Plenty Kitchen Towel White 8 Roll - T £6.43:eek: M N/A
    Carlsberg 20x440 ml - T £15.00 M £15.00:(

    To put this in context, we are looking for a maximum price of £1.82 on the Robinson's 1.75L (and even that is pushing it). Instead, the prices are £3.00.

    Useless I feel:(. My view is unchanged from what it was earlier.
