No, why would we complain. We are trying to exploit a mistake they have made... They have a right to cancel any order.

I was only asking that was all

Well done! You can do this!

Think there will be a few of us applying the MSE mantra, and doing the grocery challenge

The frugal living challenge can give some useful tips:

Ps update on my friend who was having all the money problems. She has downsized the house finally. Both her and her husband got jobs so with a little time hopefully she will do better, she has moved 70 miles away so not much help I can do from here.

and update on Aidan. Doing brilliantly all home for a family christmas. Things can only continue to get better. I really appreciated and so did his family all the support and likes that week. They still dont know where they come from. It can be our little secret ! Sssshhh !!!

P.P.S so nice to see spiralling D back. I often thought of you dear, and that Dog !!

Afternoon I hope everyone had a good crimbo I went up to my Mum's to spend crimbo with her as she is alone. We had a lovely time. We even went wombling in sada carpark :rotfl: Brought back some unexpected gifts with me too, thanks to Mr T I got a nice little DTD on an airfryer and a senseo coffee machine. I also found a £3 dinner set. Gave that to sis. I wish my local T's was this good. Hardly ever get DTD in my nearest store. I had great fun lugging all this stuff back home. I had to change trains 3 times too :eek:

I am only on pg 134, but I will catch up eventually

Wishing everyone a very glitchy happy new year :beer:

thought you would all like this.

my 2 dds have a friend she is 22 lives with her boyfriend and went out christmas eve had a drink and an indian , christmas day gets up feeling really rough decided it was food poisining as she had not drank that much, by the evening she was in agony her bf called an ambulance but before it got there at just gone midnight she had a baby boy in the bathroom just the 2 of them,:eek:
she had no idea she was pregnant and actually was told there was little chanceof her having kids due to an illness she has.
her bf put it on facebook and about not knowing what to do and what they needed when people some he knew and total strangers started offering all sorts of things, clothes, prams cots nappies everything they needed even just advice,, one elderly man said he had nothing to give but a car so he could bring them home from hospital, as they do not drive..
it is heart warming to see people at their best and coming together to help this young couple, :A:A
