Case packed but still can't decide which dress to take. While rooting around in wardrobe I found a Wallis on I bought in summer sale. Ruled that out as doesnt go with boots and down to just black boots as go with all dresses.
Think I will take checked one I am not 100% sure about and pink one which is same label but unworn. I had one which got a mark on it at cleaners so bought exact same one but size larger so can go in washing machine. £15 to clean a dress:eek::eek:

Granny is going to treat herself to some nice sale bling on xmas eve along with new black clutch bag. To clean silver jewelery is it bicarb in water ontop of silver foil? If so I am just off downstairs to clean a necklace which is a bit tarnished.

Dry cleaning prices are :eek: I try and wait for offers on the instore ones in the supermarkets. I don't have nearly so much these days, thankfully. When I was working it was an expense I hated!

The BBC news channel is great for telling you who's won Strictly if you haven't seen it and plan to use catch-up:rotfl:.

I've just had a look for a small (randomly selected?) number of items on M's brand spanking new grocery area. The Lord Sheraton Leather Wipes, which are on my list, don't appear to be on the website. Mr Sheen 30 Leather Wipes are showing at £2.46 instead of the £1.50 price that I have from instore last Wednesday ("the relevant date"!:D). E45 Moisturising Lotion 500ml bottle, that we know to be £3.50 in M, is showing on the online service as £7:eek:.

It does seem the online service currently shows future prices.

So - it's my list (and wombles) folks, rather than M's online site:D.:j:j

With any luck Ms website will have many teething problems when it goes live. Problems= Glitches, lots of potential to cash in hopefully :money:

Im guilty of spoiling my kids I definitely find it's my DD rather than the 2 boys that just expects things and stops forgetting to be grateful. She can be a proper madam at times and that's probably partly my fault

I have 3 kids, each with a kid under 2, when it comes to glitchy items like food, household things baby stuff, they come first. But I think they have become to expect it all the time, especially the eldest girl!! She's 22, never worked, as I have given her everything, and still do. The other DD goe's to work part time, her kid is 15 mths, and my son, who's 23 has just been laid off!! I'll do everything in my power to help them, but sometimes, I just wish they would take on some of the things on the Elite!!!

Yeah, unfortunately the half-size comparisons, half-price bacon, 1p JCs glitches, picked up from instore, and T's 3 for £2 Cokes, are unlikely to recur under any new online collection. However, other glitches may appear!:rotfl:

I'd better say hi and bye:rotfl: as I'm being kicked off the internet by my dodgy phone connection tonight (yes, the phone service is having trouble too:().

Goodnight!!:D And, enjoy the M list!!:):):wave:

This looks like a scene from Courage the Cowardly Dog where the king of the snowmen tries to clone the human's anti-melting gene into the snowmen so they survive all year and can take over the world!:eek:

Anyone know where I can get limocella cheaper than £11.99 in S?

Thank you

Oh TM you obviously were not listening when I gave artha my receipe.
Trick for the future, when peeling a lemon keep rind and put in jam jar (4-5 lemons does it), fill jar with vodka, needs to ferment atleast 2 weeks but keeps until required I have left mine months. Sugar syrup 2 oz sugar 4oz water heat, cool, add juice of 5 lemons and then strain lemon vodka and add when mixture is cold.
It is lush especially with lemonade in summer.

Above is the abridged version but sure you get the idea.

Sorry no idea of cost in shops.

Artha was making loads of lemoncello ready for wedding I think.
Great for whoopsied lemons but I have not managed any recently.

Cleaned necklace which came up very well. Found clutch bag while looking for necklace.
After decorating upstairs I still have not found homes for everything so must get on with it in new year. My airingcupboard is crying out for attention too.

The A5da 1% Fat Milk (4pt) is returning N/A vs Morries. (Part of M's 3 for £3 mix and match, according to me.) So don't buy vs there - not that you would anyway: it's £1.00 vs £1.00 at Sains. and you only need to buy one!:)

Not posting a long post here as my internet is doubtless going off again (frown).

Goodnight!!:D:A:wave::wave:
