    Morning all :wave:

    Had a busy busy evening yesterday wrapping presents and making up hampers. DH had to blitz the kitchen rearranging the stash on top of the cupboards as we had a little delivery :D

    My ward manager rang to ask if she could pop in after work, I assumed to give me my off duty for next month.
    She came with armfuls of presents from my colleagues - I was totally speechless :A

    This was the contents of my hamper :eek:

    Plus there was a card with a wad of notes in jawdrop.gif She said they want us to have a good Christmas after a [STRIKE]sh[/STRIKE] *realises small people are present* rubbish year :D

    I'm definitely going to treat us to a proper bottle of bubbly this year :)

    Yay :j how lovely. Treat yourself babe, you deserve it x
    How delightful :D:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Not the 1st thought that crossed my mind :eek::D
    The monkeys weren't impressed either... They tasted sour -apparently!

    I've got the apple Danish to try, hopefully with more success..:)

    Don't get your hopes up, I thought they were the worst of the bunch :(

    I'm going to T's later, it takes me ages to get him away from the vacuum cleaner aisle :)
    And I can't go anywhere near a Currys, last time he had a meltdown when we left :o:eek:

    Ahhh so cute.
    My friends little boy will sit looking through the Argos catalogue for hours just looking at the hoovers :rotfl: he asked Santa for a real one last week when we saw him down the nursery :D

    I found you tube TV channel earlier. How did I not find this before???

    Just got my cakes out for marzipanning. It's the one job I don't like as much. I much prefer the icing part and then the eating bit!

    My space hopper has just been delivered. This has thrown all my careful plans into disarray. I am far too easily distracted :D

    I am trying to figure out how much 4 meal deals would be after the wine discount and the mash discount.

    Mind you this would only work if you could find 4 of the wine, when I've got this before there is either no wine or just an odd bottle - I just check the wine section as I've never seen them in the finest meal deal sections.

    Discounts

    6 x TESCO FINEST CREAMY MASH 500G £10.40 † n/a n/a n/a
    1 x SWIZZELS DRUMSTICK LOLLY £0.10 n/a £0.10 £0.10
    1 x GIANT NEW REFRESHER CHEW BAR (C) £0.10 n/a n/a £0.10

    Would it work out cheaper to get 9 mash? I'm trying to think but brain isn't in gear this morning.

    If I have a wys £50 voucher does it need to be over £50 before 3 for 2 / 25% discounts or after?
