    Yesterday's big spend was £34 (!) on a voucher for another meal out with my best friend. She'll pay me back half of it though. It's a poshish place in town and we've been there before with a voucher and LOVED it. The voucher is valid until January, so it might be a nice post-Christmas treat.

    Is it a poshish place in the High Street? If it is the one I'm thinking of (starts with M) then I love it there too! Enjoy :D

    It is!

    Last time I went I managed to share the deal on FB and get three friends to buy it which meant it was free :D

    Darn it .... missed that one! :(

    If it's where I'm thinking of it will be very nice so enjoy!

    Jan's always a bit 'deflated' IYKWIM so great to have something lovely to look forward to!


    Special uplift cost is ridiculous - it was £35 here but they had too much fly tipping so it's free again :) (cost of phone call but that's easy enough to get around)

    Hope your's is better than mine!

    I think I'm about to fall out with the woman who runs ours - she was selling a lovely big throw - posted that I'd like it & could she contact me re collection details ....

    Just been back on and someone else had posted they would have it if the sale fell through and the woman posted ....'I haven't heard back from xx, so it's yours x' to the new person

    :mad: It'd been less than 2 hours :mad:

    (sorry Moo - i'm not having a good day!:o)

    Ours is great I have to say.
    Maybe because we are a smaller place & lots of people know each other.

    You know, any other time I would have said yes but between now and the end of the year I have two hen weekends (one overnight for 3 nights, the other my sister's, of which I seem to be paying a lot of her share, plus both myself and LMG's shares), a wedding (with overnight stay), LMG's birthday (we are spending the weekend in Glasgow - 2 nights) and a day in Aberdeen for a dance comp (train fares up and back). Just as I get over all of that, Christmas rears it's ugly head! :eek:

    I'm sorry but I have to decline this time. I will give you a shout if/when one comes up next year! :D
