Just back from taking my DS to uni.....I blubbed all the way home....recommend you take some tissues.....:(
Good luck to all youngsters going off to Uni. Hope they all have stashes to keep them going. I remember when my son went off. Unfortunatly for the wrong reasons. I had been having problems with my eyesight for a week before and we stayed up in Durham the night before dropping him off. That night my retina detached and i subsequently had 4 eye ops in six months.0 -

"Seven pounds 50. Very good," he said.
Well, not when you were expecting a £10 BM it isn't:p.
So, whatever happened, it was £2.50 down from what I was expecting. Unless they are now deducting the £2.50 Nectie reward spends and offsetting that (in which case, goodbye, I'm not shopping again with you for just a price match), it seems £2.50 short. Unless I was relying on msm getting its sums wrong again:o - thought I could just put all the items into my basket, check them all on a.com and could rely on msm's 'save £10' by switching.
It may be the McCoys Classic 15 crisps, that I advised earlier, as they are £2.50 cheaper in A. Checked them again - they are exactly the same size, dimensions, description on front of pack and flavours. I've screenshotted every item I bought on a.com though in case others are adding up to the seeming missing £2.50. Will find out tomorrow...0 -

Yes I remembered Hillards I collected the dinner plates
Do you remember Presto didn't Safeway buy them out
No I don't remember Presto:oI used to work on the deli counter in presto I was 15.
I was 15 when I first applied for a job at Hillards, but the age limit was 16 so I re-applied the next year, and thanks to my lovely Auntie Jackie (who worked there) and my own natural ability of course:dance: I got the job - eight and three-quarter hours a week (Wed, Thurs, Fri evenings) for £9.25. I think the maximum was 9 hours for part-timers. But it was enough for two driving lessons. I also worked Saturdays whenever I could, as that was time-and-a-half for the first four hours then double time. Wow, so many memories - thanks for reminding me:T:T:T'It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.'

There was a lady near to where I work that was burnt from mixing 2 normal household cleaners :eek: x
Ouch! I was only putting a little bit of A Toilet Cleaner down the bowl on the opposite side from the Harpic, to make it smell alright. I wasn't touching the actual liquid or the Harpic! In fact, it's hardly me 'mixing': I'd expect wooden spoons and all to be used for that!:rotfl: Just trace amounts (and diluted ones at that) would ever be in slight contact if at all - I'm sure it's been fine!:):) Yours, still alive and breathing normally.0 -
Ive got real uggs one white label in one boot and two in the other, one of which has hollagram on.Hey everyone
Ive been lurking mostly oflate as im way to hectic to get time to do any glitching but am enjoying seeing all other reports - alot of the things aren't available here too so im just getting by with a bargain here and there !
I was wondering if anyone cold give me abit of advice>
I took the plunge and bought the ugg boots from allsole - upon hearing their sister site is coggles.com and they are a registered seller - but mine arrived today and where they have all the things they are supposed to BUT the label on the inside is a white tag - there is a hologram on one boot but the labels are white normal tags not woven/stitched - is this correct ??? I have one other pair and they are the same but were bought 2nd hand from ebay so can't be sure ?
anyone with uggs that they are sure are genuine can you please tell me wether to return or not .
Cheers me dears :beer:Ignore reality.There's nothing you can do about it.
I have done reading too!
