Off for a shower before heading to Snekkie, anyone in my area, there have been full shelves of snakes in El8in for the past couple of days.
Have a lovely day folks, hope the weather behaves for you all down south. Very peaceful and a wintery sun here today.
Play nicely.

Right up early, tidied garden so stuff does not blow around al night, hung out washing ( drying nicely) tidies kitchen no think a bit of APG may be in order.
I presume BB, SNAKES AND CATS still working but not seen any mention of chocs recently. Anyone?

Now another problem I need advice with. As you know DS got married and all went well. However they did not have formal pics as such so the only pics of OH and I and DD and her fiance are ones we took ( and they are lovely). So last week link came to wedding pics and some of them are fab but stuck in the middle are 2 pics of my oldest sister and my oldest brothers family ( the one I barely speak to) which my sister had obviously asked the photographer to take so i got really upset. I know it was their wedding but we made a good contribution and did a lot of running around ( I know he is our son). so I was on the way to London to work and rang DS quite upset that there are no pics of all of us together. i could hear my new dil in the background screaming that her family were not in them either. yes maybe so but the girl who took the pics is the sister of one of the bridesmaids ( one of dil's best friends) and there are loads of her.
I had offered to do a t party when they come down before Xmas for the grandparents and others who were not invited to the wedding so suggested we have some photos there which DS thought was a good idea so we left it at that.
So on Thursday sis and I went to stay at theirs before working in London and we arrived at 9.00 but DIL was out for dinner. He showed us their honeymoon pics and was pleased to see us. But there was a continual stream of texts from his wife and when I went ot say goodnight to sis ( she went on to bed) she said one of them said something like will they be in bed when I get home. So I waited up and he went downstairs for a cigarette and called me to say he would be a few mins waiting for wife. When they came up she was very cool with me and we sat up for about 20 mins talking and I was sorry about the photo thing. Anyway went to bed and was upset all night as I felt she did not want us there. In the morning she pointedly stayed in their bedroom and only came out to say goodbye after he went in and talked to her.
So what do I do? Talk to DS about it or leave it? Cancel the party as when we discussed it that night she did not seem keen?

south east and wales - get your patio tables tied down for storms tonight

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-24690552

I am going into my garden to make sure everything is tied down and put away.I hope it won't be as bad as 1987.It was a nightmare down here in Sussex then.Trees all over my road and half the houses with roofs missing.I remember it well because I was going to go to my sil funeral but couldn't get there.The wind is already blowing quite hard.
May be a good day for wombling.

I hope the storm is over on here.It would be a shame to find glitches and not to share them.

Thank you so much Logie. I have managed to order
3 x Colour Splasherz Design Studio
3 x Mega Bloks Lil Princess Castle

For £50

since I tried to get the memory foam glitches the other morning I cannot get to my basket as it errors so had to register new account and link to advantage card to place order this morning.:T

I had to live chat with boots to get them to empty my basket (funnily enough the only thing they removed was one of the pillows). It's working fine now though :T

lame eh?? - how so very dare you!!

right - just for you a REALLY lame one:


a guy walks into a bar and sees 3 pieces of meat hanging from the ceiling and asks "What's this all about?"
the bartender replies, "well, if you can jump up and slap the meat, you get free drinks for the rest of the night - but if you miss, you pay for everyone's drinks for the next hour. wanna go?"
"Nah" the guy replies, "the steaks are too high"

So you avoided the 3 pack Branston ones they want you to buy (they're out prominently at the front of one of my stores)?:rotfl::rotfl:




(I think the reason is, or at least an (attempt at) explanation by me, the point I'm making is the 3 pack at £1 works out at around 33p:eek: each but the Heinz vs T works out far cheaper:j:j (I think so, anyway, unless I've not looked at it in depth - I can't imagine this thread would be all buying that if it worked out as being a worse deal - ... and...here's the point! at last:wall:... you 'always' have to hunt around and look high and low in order to find the best deal.

It's how supermarkets work - put out items that make them more profit at eye-level so more people buy them. There must be a reason why those items make more profit (apart from them then being put at eye-level) - could it be the deals on them, that many people thereby 'fall for' - are actually very poor and see people paying more (and hence giving money - i.e. ending up in more profit - to the store)?:question:? Just my opinion that 3 pack can packs at £1 are very poor. 33p (approx.) per can, rather than 4 packs at £1 being 25p each for example.))

I usually always wait until the 4pk of Branston ones are on offer at T's then buy a few so they compare to A's. I think they end up costing around the same as the value/smartprice ones when I do that.
