    Oh scamps. PD told me what happened earlier on in the day. I can't even imagine. You don't need to explain yourself at all. Regardless of circumstance, she can't be looking in the mirror feeling good about what she's done.

    Are you alright for basics?

    We're all here for you lovely. No questions asked. I mean, apart from that one just there about basics ;) You know what I mean.

    Thank you to savvy for the very prompt arrival of the new thread. Now if you'll all excuse me I am going to collapse into a heap. Night night.

    Thanks another way of looking at it! (Now - why didn't I think of that?:rotfl::think::rotfl:)
    Thanks.:)

    Which reminds me...
    (I remind myself!:D:rotfl::rotfl:) Of FC's post on the last thread about dear son learning - and then a frown. I would have posted (had I been with continuous internet access) a quote "he's learning" and then a jump up and down. It's not a bad thing to learn in that way!:) At last, he's learning how to 'fit in'!:D

    savvy, he always tries and I am so proud of that :D he even takes part in things he will never be able to do ( he gets it from his mother ;)) Ive always told him to try his best because that's as much as anyone can expect :)
    So very lovely of you to remember :A

    I still learn a lot from you....so keep it coming :D:p

    You may well be able to use that jacket in anothersize or other items that areon a long delivery date and that will make it work again.

    Yes I have been putting the medium size jacket in my basket. 6 orders done and that is my lot. X
    We're just happy to have a home, a family and our health. Whatever else is just added and it fits. :)

    Scamps I am so sorry to hear what your wife has done, I can't post the language I'm using in real life but suffice to say it's colourful! :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    Freecycle is good as others have said, also try any local facebook selling pages which offer free items.

    just seen something interesting on ITV

    ex pats in Corfu are doing online shops at Tesco in the uk.
    a bloke has made a business by collecting a large van full of groceries and delivering to corfu address. it costs him just over £1000 to make the trip. he makes a small profit. (tax purposes)
    one woman buys extra virgin oil that went from corfu to the uk and back. a lot cheaper than her local shop.

    I remember year ago the Germans used to have Butter Boats. Ferries that were floating supermarkets that loaded up with customers needing to shop which sailed outside German waters and then opened for customers who filled their trolleys with bargains before returning home.

    Tenth Anniversary
    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

    Not only has she taken the stuff and my dog!! The gas has ran out!!
    We've been on a meter ever since we've been in this house, good as we had no big bills! She's taken the f**ing key card, and the electric key. Though I'd suspect her mother took them.:mad: :(
