Time for cbb, I'm snuggled up on the sofa ready.

Asda fish was very tasty. I went back and bought more. Freezer groaning again as got more Youngs Cod in butter sauce and kipper fillets.

Scamps, just keep your guard up and stay alert. I can't understand how someone can be such a swine to someone they are supposed to love.
There again, yes I can. I've been there such a carp time, but that's another story.

I am wondering wether its worth buying the 3 for £6 meal deals instead and if so how many to get close to £25?
I am still objecting to buying wine - working through my stash of tesco double discount - would rather buy a few healthy meals especially need some vegetarian versions.

Me too, will have to do some further research on what is available; M&S usually pretty good for non-carnivores, though.

Wow....that was a good read,

Legilibity and visual processing of words are a personal and professional interest of mine. (I was worried that I was overdoing it a bit on the explanation!) The wikipedia article on the same subject is a pretty good summary if you want to look into it in more detail
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_movements_in_reading
and in more general terms of how the eyes 'see' a page as a whole, there's the Gutenberg Diagram, F-Pattern and Z-Pattern
http://www.vanseodesign.com/web-design/3-design-layouts/
and once you're aware of these, you'll start to notice it at work on posters, promotional leaflets, product packaging etc.

Been a really up and down day! Firstly up with the post. Then down with the MIL banging on the door saying she wanted the cooker and 2 wardrobes!! I told her to politely go away so she called the police. saying I threatened her. Police came and when I gave them my side of the story and the events that have gone on THEY told her to go away. I was then informed by the police that I had no tax on the car! Wife has sent it to DVLA for a refund!! She has also cancelled the insurance. Back to having no car.

Not wanting to make light of the situation or sound flippant, but if one of the scriptwriters on the soaps suggested that as a storyline, the producers would laugh at them for it being so unbelievable.

Well, that was weird!! Just had a call form my wifes niece. Apparently my wife is so heartbroken about the last few days and says she was pushed into all this by her mother, no kidding Einstein!! Been informed that my wife didn't want to leave and she still loves me but had no choice. She still wants us to have a relationship but without her mother knowing!! I'm 47 and she's 50 for f**ks sake. Her mother has always had a control over her and for this I have always tried to compensate. How the F do I deal with this one???

I can't offer much advice except that to say "She still wants us to have a relationship but without her mother knowing!!" sounds like something a teenager would say, rather than a grown-up. And what others have advised sounds eminently sensible to me.

Oh my god Scamps! Going by this behaviour you've had a lucky escape. A really lucky escape. The devil incarnate if you ask me. Why are they so intent on punishing you? I mean what more can they take? The clothes from your back? Terrible. I hope they get everything that's coming to them and more.

"Karma refers to the principle of causality where intent and actions of an individual influence the future of that individual. Good intent and good deed lead to good karma; while bad intent and bad deed lead to bad karma. Karma in the present affects one’s future in the current life, as well as the nature and quality of future lives."

yes there are many quieter posters and irregular visitors but everyone contributes

How true! Just because a person is quiet doesn't mean they don't contribute. Look at Harpo Marx - the funniest of the Marx Brothers IMHO.

There's a list of dental schools here. Might be more than one dental school needing volunteer patients within travelling distance. Major work might require multiple visits. Standard will be high.

I can second that. I used a dental school for a number of years - the best dental treatment I've ever had. I had both standard regular treatment, and also a couple of wisdom teeth extracted during my time there.
Don't be concerned that you're being treated by students, they will be in their final year(s) and months of study, often fully supervised by the teachers (and they only choose the best dentists to be the teachers), using state-of-the-art techniques (the latest equipment and techniques start out in the dental schools), and they take their time (appointments are usually 30mins long, minimum. All free, too!

Interesting day in Ts. Busy faffing with a trolley full of items to scan - when I was approached & was asked 'Are you a friend of Martins?'

We ought to get some little lapel badges made, with just 'FoM' on them. For those in the know....

How on earth do I know what to scan and where to find the bargains....any clues on the sels? Or is it instinctive and comes with practice?

Maybe there is a Glitch Gene, still to be discovered by scientists?:)

Evening peeps.

Yes Bubbs, I'm here and yes I got the post so a big thankyou to you and Willowwispy. :A

Been a really up and down day! Firstly up with the post. Then down with the MIL banging on the door saying she wanted the cooker and 2 wardrobes!! I told her to politely go away so she called the police. :eek: saying I threatened her. Police came and when I gave them my side of the story and the events that have gone on THEY told her to go away. I was then informed by the police that I had no tax on the car! Wife has sent it to DVLA for a refund!! She has also cancelled the insurance. Back to having no car.

Then a couple of friends came round, 1 with a few beers and the other with an electric heater. ! lent me a tenner to get some baccy and foodies so I went to T's and had a good nosey around for some cheapie bits. Couldn't find any until I found these.



First one had a SEL for £12, the other had one for £14. Both scanned at 25p Good if you have screw in light bulbs. Only bought these 2 as cash is a bit tight.


Bit behind but might be worth phoning dvla on monday as car registered in your name so refund for tax disc can't be sent to someone else. Just say it was malicious and ask for it to be returned.
As for MIL she should have taken then in first place, amazing cheek that woman. Sure your wife doesnt need or she would have taken the other day. This latest visit will have been logged by police so make sure you keep a diary of events as will be needed for divorce.

Like I said scamps I have been there and it is painful at the time.

In other news my landlord was in the Independant yesterday as a follow on from his c4 apperance. What (insert own swear word):mad: if he ever plays those games with me again I have some lovely emails from him I can shown national press.
Will try to post link but not sure if I will be able to.

Scamps I will read more before posting reply to your other post

I just scanned a load of DVDs and stuff. Doesn't seem to be any kind of rhyme or reason to it. Helps if you kind of have a base list to go from.

What are you looking at specifically? Toys? Electricals? Food? DVDs?

Nothing really QoC...just wondering .....out of the thousands of things you can scan....how do you hit lucky?
