Good morning
Nice to have a bit of sun this morning. We had to wrap up well because it's freeeezing, but we managed a rather fresh walk on the beach this morning. For some reason there was lots and lots of tyres on the beach? Strange
I can't decide whether to go shopping today, or tomorrow.....or both0 -
Radox handwash £1.90 or 3 for £3 at A, £1 at T - possible triggers in 3 for £3 palmolive naturals delight shower gel 50ml, travel bottle, mini brush.
Only certain varieties of radox handwash compare to T so check first. Should work out 1 trigger and 2 handwashes for approx £1.0 -
Can you use more than one £3 dairy Tesco MOC if you spend £24 (theoretically). Thanks,'It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.'

My photo was a 10"x 7" so I just brought a 10"x 8" frame from Sada and kept the mount that was inside it that hold a smaller picture. It looks perfect. X
Much cheaper that buying a 10" x7" frame as the only one I found was from boots and was £16 :eek:Life is not about learning to avoid the storms - it's about learning to dance in the rain.0 -

I wrapped up a load of stuff from the M&S glitch for her and obviously she has opened it. :mad: Apparently, she's fed up with pampering stuff!! Ungrateful cow. :mad:
The best way to deal with people who are like this is to be incredibly nice to them
- send them an email/text (I would actually write a letter but I'm all old fashioned!)
start by saying how much you love your daughter/grandchildren and that you always valued feedback on the gifts you gave them. Say you are very sorry and must apologise that your Christmas gifts offended her/them and that it was totally unintentional. You were trying to give gifts that you thought might be of use and that would be pampering and that would make them feel loved and cherished and valued but you also had to consider your own time and financial constrains.
As the gifts were unsuitable ask for them to be returned along with all of the other items that you have given her/them over the year that were not to her liking.
Ask her/them to accept your sincere apologies for causing offence and ask for her understanding as it is now too late to source alternative Christmas presents for 2013.
