    well it gives you another day to prepare Emma. hope it goes well tomo for you. Enjoy the day off as you'll be working before you know it !!:D Is it temp or permanent? I know you do volunteering as well. :A

    Yes, i will be around :D. I've barely been in supermarkets so it's been great.. but I did have a boozy lunch on sat with a friend and my 4 yr old - 3 hours in the pub!! :eek: She visited from london for the weekend. she's having a rough time as her OH passed away suddenly last year (diagnosed with stomach cancer and 2 weeks later was gone:cool:) they were married 34 years. She is sooooo lovely, as was he so lots of reminiscing and talking about the nice memories. Was actually a good weekend with her and she said she's never slept so much in the last 18 months.

    Oh how lovely that you were able to be there for her. I imagine it must have been a relief for her to just talk and act normally :)

    I've not got much to prepare tbh. I've already been recommended for the job and the company was only formed this year so they are realllly new to the telly game. I don't know how long the contract will be yet but I'm hoping a few months at least. Mainly I'm going to see if it's a good fit for me/exactly what the job is going to entail.

    Hi folks, if you see me on here before tea time tell me to BOGOF please :rotfl:

    I was just coming on to see if it was worth sending the missus to Mr T for Always. Apparently not. :(

    Instead she is going out to the shops armed with £70 M&S giftcards and £30 Morries vouchers to spend (which only cost me £12 in total :money:)

    I've told her to have fun spending it but I still worry what she'll order/come back with though :rotfl:

    Anyway....later gaters :wave:

    Good morning all

    they had Nouvelle in the coop this morning



    android.jpg

    I had trouble this morning with the Nouvelle coupon.
    1st Co-op said "Manager is funny with internet coupons" and it wouldn't scan, so they refused.
    2nd Co-op noticed the price on the coupon so said I had to pay difference - I refused.
    3rd Co-op, noticed the price difference, but said put it through anyway. :)

    I think I'll have to stick to Sainsburys. :(
