    Scamps I hope you are sorted out by now. Have made you a :coffee: for when you get back. :A

    Says exactly the same as me.

    Although - I haven't made a ceramic with a magnet on top of it, not even for me:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

    Afternoon :)

    What a lovely day it is. I've been out giving the garden a really good tidy up whilst it's sunny. I didn't get back to sleep :o

    Scamps :( I hope you get yourself sorted out :A

    That's the kind of thing I'd end up checking if I noticed :D

    Have you counted how many baked beans are in the various stores cans yet.... :D

    No!!:D:rotfl:Nor do I plan to! Look the weights are there, but yes they are "e" weights, so perhaps we'll take several cans to the scales next time:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. The scourers (T Eday) just fell:eek::eek::o out of the cupboard when I opened it, and I ended up putting the A one alongside it as I sorted it back out. Strangely(:rotfl:) I can't say I've ever noticed it before!!:cool::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    As I write mine has not arrived home, and when he does we need to get him to Uni. Lots of tissues at the ready x:(:(

    My daughter went to Newcastle for 4 days last week so she could get used to missing me. She came home Monday and went to uni on Friday. House feels weird, and can't even go shopping as I'm waiting for her friend to pick up a couple of things she forget on his way to uni. Bet I get upset seeing him go off too and he's not even mine.

    What's the strategy going to be on BNI curries then? Is it just Korma that's off the menu? Jalfrezi? And wasn't there a less good but still worthwhile comparison on something else?

    I'm just off to T in a few minutes so willing to try a PP if you can give me a couple of tips on BNI :D

    Squills - taking one for the team lol

    I only tried korma as we don't eat the jalfreizi.
    My sides didn't compare but we don't buy the indian sides so I can't comment on those either.
    I struggled to get on the website while in Ts but As did show a korma at £2.35 so I thought it might be that one.
    There's a jalfreizi on As for £2.35 too so unless Ts are comparing that one to Ms at £2 each I'd say it's a no go.
    Good luck if you're testing :)

    Mortgage started June 2015 = £170,000 January 2022 = £134,000
    Saving for Xmas 2022= . . Amazon £55

    I'm suprised Ts and As haven't noticed, I thought they'd use any excuse to put something as N/A :D

    Thinking of you Auntycaz.......Midwinter too I think:A and all of you taking your babies to uni.

    Talking from experience it really does get easier. You tend to compensate by finding the positives.... Less washing, the house stays tidier, you can eat what you want when you want.......rather than focussing on the negatives. Plus it's all the nicer when you see them again.
    It's just one more step on the way to their independence and tells us as parents that we've done a good job. We push them out of the nest and they fly.:T

    I must admit I have found it easier, less washing and ironing and tidier house is something to look forward to now. :o

    I did get a bit more upset leaving DD2 this year as that was her last proper holiday until next summer now she is 3rd year medic. I will be worse next year when she goes back as she will be more or less moved out permanently, with very little home time in her 4th and 5th year. :(

    Can't believe this year she already has 7 o'clock starts on the wards occasionally. :eek:
