    Good morning. Been a bit busy lately with various things, which included a holiday and I've started my treatment at the dentist again. I had a few weeks break which I think was due to them having exams but now back to going again until they have their hols. Unlike a lot of colleges who have a couple of months hols the dental school only has 4 or 5 weeks because of all the patients they see.

    Lovely and sunny here this morning, so going to get all my washing out before the rain comes again. Hope everyone is ok, going to read back and catch up so expect a few posts :D:D

    Good morning guys

    Make sure you take a brolly out with you this weekend, the forecast is rain. Sick to death of the rain, my garden needs weeding as only the weeds like the rain.

    Kerri - don't use many coupons at all these days, not like it used to be when I had a folder full of them.

    CWxx

    I don't use many coupons either. Hardly any around and then when I try to print them it goes through the motions of saying it's printed and when I check the printer nothing is there. The latest one to do this is the pizza £1 coupon. It's the good food show this week and it's reminded me how we went for a stash of coupon books. I went last year and they were rubbish coupons in them. Not like the old days where any coupon was a good one. I noticed T sales have dropped, taking coupons as cash again would soon build them up again, although I would struggle to get the £50 of all different coupons like we used to do.:(

    Weather code and damp here also - haven't been warm since we came back from Porto on Sunday - even put the CH back on Monday for the evening.


    Can't believe how high the weeds have grown in the last week - like a jungle up our garden.

    I think we must have been there at the same time red. Although we were 2 hours drive away from Porto. We only went for a week, the first 3 days I managed to get sunburnt, the last 4 days I managed to get drowned with all the rain. We love Portugal but when it is raining/damp/cold then everywhere you go like bars and restaurants are so cold because the places are built for the hot weather. We still managed to have a good time though. How was the weather for you?

    Evening all.

    Trying to hide from someine who won't stop texting me.

    Been watching person of interest on virgin media. Very good series. Its finished now and back next year. Sugh. Long wait. Bates Motel finishes timorrow.

    What ypu all bern upto apart from growing toms?

    I find it very strange that a lot of the major programmes end at the same time in America. The Good Wife and NCIS have ended for the season. I wonder what they watch for the months when all the big programmes have ended.:cool:

    Good morning CW.


    Lovely and sunny here although still plenty of clouds around. I even managed to pull up a few weeds last evening. I needed some fresh air as am spending a lot of time at the hospital for the next few weeks while my husband has radiotherapy.


    Now off to get some washing done and out to dry.

    I hope your husbands treatment is going well.

    Morning Blue - coupons are a distant memory for me too. I get an odd one here and there but I tend to look for money saving opportunities these days like freebies, money off meals, saving loyalty points, cc vouchers, free Tastecard, etc. For example I got a free £5 off from a local pub that I got on an email so I'm going to use that for lunch tomorrow (intending to spend nothing :) ) as DW is going out with her friend. Then it's off to the allotment to pick some strawberries, they are starting to come now, should be plenty for Wimbledon :).
    Shame about the rain in Portugal but as long as you had a great break. We had lovely weather in Turkey, only one morning of high cloud.

    Morning everyone else :D
    If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try - oh bu99er that just cheat :D

    Good Morning Jeferey. I get a £5 gift card from sizzling pubs every couple of months for filling in a survey or just sent via email and also have signed up to one of my local marston pubs and get a free drink for mine and OH's birthdays. We have quite a few :cool::cool::cool:

    Did you know there is a deal with xbox etc games where you get 500 points for pre ordering them atm in Tesco. I did a couple last time there was an offer like that and it paid for most of my new hudl.

    Don't buy games these days, we only have a old Wii that I play on occasionally with FD. Good offer though!

    Morning CW :D
