Let's not bring the thread down people

Lots of people have different boundaries. It would be a dull place if we all drew the same line

Live and let live. Each to their own etc dtc

Afternoon

X files marathon happening at the moment. I love American Netflix!

Loving the sound of your Xmas jumper Floflo. I'm headed to Primark tomorrow to buy mine.

Talking of Christmas Jumpers I saw a nice one on a young woman at my grand children's Xmas fair on Friday. I though to myself I'd like one. I went to town today and saw it in New Look for £30 :eek: :eek:. Now I don t think I've ever paid £20 for a new jumper never mind £30 lol.

While I was in the queue waiting to pay then I remembered Tesco gift cards. So I put it back and walked back to Tesco and bought 2 x £25 New Look vouchers. I found two of the 100 points of gift card coupons in my bag so used those and got an extra 150 anyway so 350 extra points.

Went back to New look and bought it. It's really nice , well I think so anyway. It's like a cream colour with a Christmas tree on the front with small pink bobbles on and tadaaaa at the top it's got a flashing light hidden inside the pink star at the top which flashes 3 different colours continually lol.

That was why I asked earlier about any codes or money off spends. I can t find any but I ll have another look when I get the chance because if it's worth it etc I ll order one online and take this one back :xmastree:

I've totally lost my Mojo as far as shopping is concerned. Haven't done a glitch or a shop for over a week. SHOULD really go to Tesco in 30mins for whoopsies and bread/milk but not sure I can be bothered.

Brain is fogged - IF & it's a big IF I go which Jus Rol should I buy for pasties and which for apple strudel/turnover & fruit strudles?
Got a feeling Filo is best for fruit BUT it's more expensive. It's just the £3 dairy voucher I can use + Shopitise?

The last week it seems nothing is sticking when I read/look. Probably because I'm dead tired as hubby hasn't been well so worried about him too.
Anything else at Tescos if I do make the effort?

Hi WIRS.

Sorry you haven't had it easy again, worry pulls us down very quickly. Is there no one or even a charity that can you some respite even if its just a couple of hours? You need time to yourself. I know folk that don't want anyone in and its hard but you have to be well to look after DH.
Take care

Thanks David. I got a silverside roast with 6 bottles of various coke, results in about 10 mins!!:D

does anyone know if the silversid is any good for steaks please, Savingbabs!?:)

All bar one of my delivery was silverside and you can tell the diff when cutting them up compared to the toprump. I would not bother but then again I never tried :rotfl: (sinewy/fatty not a lot but you can see the diff, one piece even held together with the mesh. Dont take this wrong not complaining :j)
