    Decided to have cornedbeef hash tonight - went to open cornedbeef and the tab thing for opening it was missing! O'h well DH didn't cut himself too badly :D

    Glad you have managed to post at last Walwin.

    Have been having a few extra Tassimos ILC since I have ordered a few more. Only got the one flavour for each of us at the moment though. Caramel Latte for me and Costa Americano for DH. Ready for a sight change.

    Going off to do the last 2 clickies I still haven't done.

    We have home made Cornish Parties/chips/mushy peas. Very naughty but Fred offered to do it so I couldn't say no could I?

    Home made Cornish Pasties sound nice Sylvia but don't fancy them with mushy peas. Haven't really got a taste for mushy peas although DH likes them with fish and chips so I do sometimes have them then. I find it amusing in some area when they ask you if you want mushy peas all the time.

    Well done Sheils on the porridge win! :T You're good at winning cereals!

    ILC, thanks for the good luck with the lotto but I've probably got more chance of becoming the next pope! :p
    I saw the Tassimo and pods I tesco yesterday and hinted to hubby....but he was more interested in looking at the man flu remedies!

    Well done on the mousemat win millie, hope you get a better win soon! :)

    Enjoy your time in York Sylvia :) Some nice shops there.
    I love mushy peas with mince n onion pies! Mam used to do mushy peas on our Sunday dinners but I just do garden peas for ours.

    Fire**fly, I've been entering some of them click to win ones! I don't mind these ones but the dailies can be a pain as I keep pressing the wrong box on iPad! I tried the compsalex way but couldn't get it to work!

    Indie, big congrats to your DS :T Brilliant achievement! :) Good on your DD too Sylvia! :T I wish I could have kept up my nursing studies. I got emotional when my friends all graduated when I should have done too! Ah well, I'm loving working with the kiddies with disabilities now :)

    I sent another email about my missing win so hopefully might get it! Also, plumber got in touch and he is coming in two weeks :)
    Sorry if I forgot to mention everyone :o I do read all the posts!
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!

    Wingo - sorry you had to give up nursing but you seem to be in a very rewarding and enjoyable job now. Things have a way of working out. I met Fred in York on a blind date, we had been writing/telephoning each other for some time. My kids were hid behind a newspaper on the station checking him out. It will have some memories going back there on thursday. Have you really got to wait 2 weeks for a plumber? Glad your toilet isn't blocked!

    Well done on your cereal win Sheils, do you still do the mini games as well? I have dropped them off for a bit as can't keep up.

    Question for anyone - when you do the instants where there are more than one try, do you just keep going or come back later to do others at a different time. Also how do you cope with the ones that are every 24 hours, I seem to only do them every other day as you have to do them later each day.

    Hopefully you'll get the Percy gear soon. Annoying as it's a figment of our imagination until it's delivered.

    So many Tassimo machine deals and the disc offers. (remember you get £20 off an order when you register the machine)
    Trouble is with your brood the discs won't last long:eek:


    Do they still have the pig poo smell in York. Went to the Viking centre many years ago and you get the realistic poo whiff

    @lomaxsylvia I don't do the Magazine instant wins, after reading the T&C's and realizing they didn't actually promise to have any winners at all.

    I've started keeping a comping diary here. I hope it's not out of place here in the Compers Chat Corner subforum. :)
    Hi, I'm Mich :o
    I won a years supply of Comfort fabric softener in November 2013 - more than half remains...

    Hope you have a lovely time in York Sylvia. We usually have a visit there every year.
    The Yorvik Centre still smells ILC.

    I just do the instant entries all at once but the 24 hour ones are annoying Sylvia. I have been doing the mini games on Dorset Cereal as they have 100 prizes on offer on their monthly prize again. Have had quite a few wins from them over the years - cereal, granola and porridge. When I won on Belvoir once I won loads of Dorset Cereals and bowls too.

    I can't get the Dorset one on iPad Sheils. I don't know what's wrong with laptop either, I've got Kaspersky on it but it won't let me put any passwords in at all! I can put in all the other fields but seems to be blocking all passwords! Kids are wanting to play on maths website and moshi site. It's not a parental block either!

    Sylvia, it's the only time plumber can do as its a biggish job. We need a new boiler and moved to the other side of kitchen as well as pipe work etc. That's why no one wanted to get back to us with a quote! We can't move on though till this is done. I know it's not gonna be done before Xmas now though.
    I just enter the instants when I remember!
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!
  • Might stick at the mini games then Sheils, only just stopped doing them.

    MH - I don't do the magazine instants just the ones on the dailies if you know what I mean. Have won from them and other have too. Looked at your diary, its interesting seeing how other do it. Thanks for sharing.
