    It was actually really nice once we got going, he was right to drag me out. Very cold but bright and sunny. Walked along by the canal, met lots of dog walkers, then came back across playing fields where some kind of junior football tournament was in progress. Now sitting by the fire, lovely :)

    A blue tit has been checking out our nesting box today. Seems very early but hope she likes what she sees.

    Glad you enjoyed your walk.
    I have to lookout for dogs when out with Poppy she doesn't like other dogs and barks when she sees them. So if I spot a dog with owner I have to pull Poppy close and tell her no barking :( sometimes she doesn't but 9 times outta 10 she does.

    All this started when couple over back moved in just before Christmas 2012 . Their front and back garden backs onto my back garden with large fence panels separating our gardens. If I let Poppy out and their dog is out it runs to fence and starts barking which sets Poppy off. :mad: So now Poppy thinks she got to bark if she sees a dog.
    Couple in house are deaf or partially deaf but surely they can see their dog is barking.
    So annoying Poppy cant go out in garden like she used to do. Its unsafe to let her out in front garden incase someone opens gate Poppy would be off. :(

    Sorry about the essay :rotfl::rotfl:

    Belfast - Donegall Place can be added to the list

    Sorry I can't update the list properly as I'm on my phone.

    Massive thanks to whoever it was that discovered the "system" for using both coupons - I managed to get:-

    2 lots of the £6 meals for 2 - including a large steak pie, large Cumberland pie, cheese mash, parmentier potatoes, cheesecake slices and sticky toffee pud

    And 1 x £10 dine in for 2 meal deal - including a large lasagne, potato croquettes, millionaire shortbread and 2pk grape juice bottles (don't really drink so no wine for me!)

    All for £12 ( total before discounts was £33.68) :j

    I was initially going with the intention of just getting 2 of the £10 meals and getting the rotisserie chicken as my main - but none were in stock so i had to think on my feet!!! Turned out just fine and I'm delighted with what I got.



    Thanks again :T

    Tenth Anniversary
    Just got back from T's. Got a few woopsies then walked past the tech department when I spied 3 cages full of dvd's, 3ds stuff, wii remotes and loads of other stuff, so I asked the tech guy if that was the reduced stuff? yes it was, but they're not putting it out until tomorrow. but I got a couple of wii remotes £1.25 each, 4 3ds skylander stylus's 25p each a 3ds angry birds 11pc protection pack £1.25 and some other 3ds protection pack 25p :D

    Was having a word with him about the cheap dvd's and he told me that of sometime this summer, T's will be doing away with all dvd's cd's except for the top 20 because they are going to be using a system which lets you download on an ultra violet system!!!

    This....

    Also, when walking back I had to go through a bit of wooded area and in the middle is a bin and in it was a vacuum cleaner!! who the hell takes a vacuum into the middle of some woods to put it in a bin?? How bizarre. Lol
