    FC you must be so proud of your DS's achievement. :T

    Sorry Lutzi I think I must have skimmed too much yesterday and missed that your OH could finally be coming home. What a relief. :A

    And big thanks to Squills if you are lurking for the Jamie's pestle and mortars, my 2 arrived this morning. Excited or what, they are bloomin brilliant. Very heavy duty. :D

    No morries voucher for me yet, but I've just had delivery of my tasting club choccys :j
    I'm leaving the cardboard inner sealed so I can open them Christmas day (I know which set of choccys I ordered but will suprise myself with the flavours in there that way :D )
    Was there meant to be a free gift too? I'm wondering if that's in the cardboard box with my choccys.

    Ive just been to the tip to get rid of the mountain of cardboard I seem to have amassed lately. One of the men at the tip kindly came to help me empty the car. When I opened the back door of the car I looked at it all and realised I look like an alcoholic body shop addict :eek: :rotfl::rotfl: It was just a wall of BS boxes and cardboard wine carriers

    managed to bag myself a fab paraffin greenhouse heater when I was there though :money:

    Mr Tinyshoes has just finished planting up in the front garden a slightly raised bed with a greengage tree and blackcurrant bush, I am really :o. The edging is all those big M & S Greenwich red ale bottles that glitched couple of years ago. Definitely looks like someone has a drink problem. :eek:

    Didn't feel so :o when he used all the glitchy wine bottles out the back for the veg beds as they are not on show. ;)

    I have had more than £13 before discounts, so I don't think it is that.

    Maybe it needs at least 1 Finest item ??

    Bikertov, quick question. are you using the in date vouchers? Some have expired, although are printed on the same page.

    :T Well done FC and littleFC :T Excellent start to secondary school!

    oh, and someone had left a pile of velvet and a separate pile of dairy coupons, on top of non associated items in my store today!

    Wonder if it was one of us?!

    :j:j Excellent start to secondary school, I love it when my DS has a letter like this sent home through the post, so much more personal then given to the child then stuffed in the bottom of their bags.

    Lutzi, glad your OH is on the mend and now recovering at home.

    Wow Fairclair well done to your DS you must be so proud :):):)
    You can't make someone love you. All you can do is
    stalk them & hope they panic & give in

    God created men first, cause you always makes a rough draft before a masterpiece!
