I've amazed myself this year. I found my crackers in the loft in a carrier with a note attached which read " Do not crush. This bag contains crackers":T

Also found a Champneys big red box. Think they started off at £50 in a Boots last year.

Decided to keep it for myself

I had an unfortunate encounter with my roof space this afternoon ! In order to store my mountain of toilet rolls which were blocking the landing, I decided (foolishly) to empty all my old mystery shopping reports (from 1998 up to 2005) out ready for burning and fill the freed up space with toilet rolls. Now, I live in a dormer bungalow and I don't have a loft as such, just little roof spaces with narrow doors. The reports were piled up right at the back of the space and I had to turn sideways to get most of my body through the door and then turn back when my ample bum was through the gap. I managed to turf out all the reports but they piled up behind me and, when I tried to reverse out of the space, I couldn't turn sideways ! And I couldn't get out of the perishing doorway.

I know I'm down to my 5:2 target weight but there are clearly still bits of me that need a bit more work. I've got a couple of sore patches on each hip now where I got stuck in the gap.

Apparently I am very British and awkward!!

Apparently I'm American!? I think my passport would disagree.

It's been lovely opening boxes that I've been stashing away over the year. I've had dome lovely surprises. Found lots of the soft fluffy M&S socks that were going through cheap:)

I need xmas to happen this year so that my present stash doesn't escape from my upstairs cupboard. I have totally forgotten what is in one box as I amalgamated mine and mum's Boots stash.

I have told myself NOT to do the 75% sale in the new year. Famous last words. :rotfl:

Found loads of stuff under my bed that I have 3 of each of for the girls stockings. I had already bought stuff for mum to give them in the sales. Think I may keep some for next xmas otherwise it will look obscene. :eek:

My Mum also had this before she died. Dad is now showing all the signs and getting very difficult. It is hard work but your last sentence sums it up - do try to keep your sense of humour, it does help when it gets really hard.

Does anyone else have an OH who thinks they know everything?

:mad::mad::mad:

Sent 4p into loft today to Christmas decorations down. Asked him to find the Crackers.
'We don't have any' ???
'Yes we do'
'Nope - we used them & there isn't anything else here labeled Christmas'

:mad::mad:

I KNOW we have crackers........

So I play Martyr & start finding cardboard loo roll middles as I will now have to make them!

Any way I find we missing lights for front window & state there must be another box up in loft

:T:T:T Crackers found

:D:D:D

4p 0 Snap 1

I'm buying OH a fishing rod for Christmas. I like surprises but he only exercises and goes fishing lately. So Ive caved in and he knows what he's getting......I'd just buy a stick so I had to let him choose :rotfl::rotfl:

WELL....he started a conversation earlier that went like this

'you know when you're a kid and you get a bike for Christmas?'
me: yes
'and you just have to go out and try your new bike out on Christmas Day?'

For the first time in ages I had to use my 'this conversation is not proceeding any further' look

Then he said he was just winding me up :mad: :cool:......testing the water more like, and I bet it was freezing

I quiet agree especially as we were getting 2 pks per coupon! I wonder if I could get away with gagging her!

I took her to a T*sco today, I did three shops and she was telling the SA all sorts, I was amazed at how much she had taken in! The SA just blinked as said that she had someone the week before who had 32 coupons and nearly had a free shop... I just thought Elite! So whoever it was, hello :wave:
