Looking good indeed- I then got lots of comments about how some of the charms are dearer than the bracelet!

I priced up having a pandora plus all the charms and it comes to much more than a bracelet from another high end jewellery store, so I would think carefully before making that commitment.

If you like charms, Thomas Sabo make lots of bracelets that can only take 3 charms.

bubbs that van looks amazing. Where are you going in January?

logie it just shows how much you are appreciated.

westie keep posting the exercises.

Morning all! DS2 comes home today, he has been at uni for 11 weeks and not come home at all this term. I'm very excited to see him.

Good morning all,

Here's my TvA shop from last night. I had quite a few coupons and vouchers to use including £4 off £40 spend. I took advantage of the 20% off 4 finest wines by getting 4 finest meal deals with 4 Garnacha and 3 mash. Sub-total £82.81, total to pay £42.90 after savings and £31.81 after coupons. 167 points earned and a PP for £10. I used a double points voucher but I'm not sure if that has worked, the coupon scanned and is on the receipt but my points were not doubled.

A really nice SA happily scanned my coupons and realised I'd got both the finest wine discount and meal deal discount and reckoned that I was clever and must get the Martin Lewis emails. I replied "wait until you see this" just as the £10 PP popped out, her reply was "I don't believe it".

Jus rol is driving me bats, I found only one sort in one of the biggest ts in the country and none at all in my small t.

If anyone tours the 5 towns Ts - L, TV, K or even Congleton - has anyone spotted them anywhere?

It's not worth doing a huge round trip and wasting petrol

if you have the Tosco store finder app, on it you can search for a product in any main store. (not tried smaller ones) it tells you aisle number and position on shelf
