    Dunno if been mentioned but the Take Away Chicago Town pizzas are £2.50 in A's so only 50p if you have the coupons left :T

    Did my first Dairy shop today, 2 cheese and 2 WW yogs, threw in 2 loo rolls and a free pot of porridge that Ts sent me a coupon for, used a 59p PP that i found walking in and a 25 extra pointer when spending £1 or more on loo roll, spent 91p and gained 37 points :D

    From a womble this afternoon - made up for the complete faff I made of a shop in T's earlier on ! I shouldn't have gone shopping as I am very stressed over my 41 year old son who has had an accident at work, got a herniated disc as a result and has been sacked for poor attendance. He'd only been on their books for a few weeks as they had previously employed him via an Agency. He knew he wouldn't get proper sick pay but thought he'd get SSP - can't believe they sacked him (especially as they neglected to do any training) when he actuallyhurt himself while working.

    He's having trouble moving about at the moment and is convinced it will never get any better - doesn't help that his Wife is disabled already with a spinal problem.

    Evening all. Thank you to those who responded my earlier post. Back home now. Took time to clear up and pack down stall, but there doesn't seem to be as much damage as I feared.
    Am just glad that considering its a christmas weekend, the town was very quiet and if the accident had been an hour later it could have been much worse.
    Not in mood to catch up so will let any glitches happening just pass me by today.

    Thanks again

    Sorry to hear about your son TBW. What a worry, especially at this time of year. I hope things improve for him soon

    What a day you've had rebecca:( put your feet up and have a cuppa.

    Well done QoC....looking forward to your pictures. So nice to give something back:T

    So pleased that lots of you are getting the coke. We don't drink a lot of it so I'm not bothering. But a big thanks to Flo for finding it:beer:

    Big night in curry for tea which has left approximately 300 cubic inches in the freezer:):T
