The correct answer with the loo roll is A if you are feeling hard up and B if you aren't (or have lots of the £1.75 quilted in stock) :whistle:.

B looks better and more opulent, which encourages peeps to use a lot more. If you are really hard up, put it on A and squeeze the roll too so it doesn't flow so freely. Make a massive difference - most families use it like it's going out of fashion.

The rubbish I know, note to self to get out more...

Good luck to Squills and all other Stoptobers.

I've read that before.. good idea for kids too.. squeeze the roll so they can't behave like an andrex puppy they give up long before they can unroll it a couple of times..

Rather pleased with myself- just managed to refill black ink in printer from a kit. Never attempted before and it worked. Made a job for myself, by not realising there was a needle to go on the syringe, got most of the ink in drop by drop before I noticed.

Wonder how hard it is to do the coloured one? My HP56&57 are about £47 for a set :eek:

It's no harder to do the coloured than the black, just get your inks in the correct holes (google it if unsure).

I did mine a few weeks ago for the first time.. and it wont recognise any ink in it I have to re-do it, it's on my "to do" list with a million other things. Another item on my to do list was to cancel our milk deliveries (twice a week). Far too expensive and i'm in supermarkets enough to pick it up. Just saved myself a little bit.. in the words of that awful trout-y company whose name I forget, every little helps.

Need a bit of help off you lovely people.

I am after a picture like these below:- I want a picture name done of the family holiday home.

http://www.alphabetphotography.co.uk/

I know there are some fab photographers on this thread, that may be able to do this sort of thing. Was wondering if you could help, please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The prices are very high, and wondered if it could be done any cheaper.

Hehe sounds like a challenge, if you pm the name of your holiday home then I can take the photos and send the files to print yourself, then you can just buy a nice frame. Or perhaps we could split it between several members and take a letter each My flickr page is http://www.flickr.com/photos/tracymae/ if you want an idea of my photography skills

But the best part of your post is how paying full price for ketchup is worse than shoplifting!

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

He he FC :rotfl: I had a spiderman toothbrush from S once, in the end bit of the trolley (with my re-usable bags). DS had chucked it in the end and i forgot about it. was mortified about it when i found it in the car park. When I told OH, he told me i should have gone back and been honest and paid them at CS. But i'd already put both kids in the car at that point...:o oops, still feel red faced now typing it..

Still ok for tommy k (4 bottles left at last count)

But thanks for trying out the garnacha, didn't someone say you might be able to use the £5 off £20 spanish wine code if you got 3 meal deals on C & C?

Think that would make 3 deals under £20, I'm sure we might be able to find a few more things to compare. :j

I've got three... the date is Oct i think.

Sorry no , as usual I'm jumping in and not reading properly.
I was meaning the Xmas Ideal Home show (tickets we haven't got yet!).
I also met Gino last year but had never seen or heard of him before. He gave me a camera and asked me to take some pics with girls on various stalls.
When I asked if he was 'well known' he answered 'Don't you watch the f**king telly?'
I do watch some tv but just had never seen him. Now I know its him whenever he's on :rotfl:
I go to MSE Old Style meet ups all the time, there is one this Friday in Greenwich Village if anyone is interested (PM me).
