  • Collected my online order of cheap toys from Mr T (thanks OP:T).
    Battleship radio and mini megaphone, for a total of £1.50.
    I've already been having fun with the megaphone at work.:)

    The maiden voyage of Battleship Radio will be this weekend. The Chuckle Brothers have agreed to do the naming ceremony. There'll be a tiny bottle of champagne which they'll pass between themselves - "To me!", "To you!" - before smashing it on the boat and launching it.
    A lot of people will be there (the mini megaphone is for crowd control) but there is still some space in the main grandstand, so everyone is invited:dance:

    I was absolutely amazed at how big those radios were - taking a fair bit of room in my present cupboard :D:D

    I ALWAYS notice when people misuse your/you're and there/their/they're, I also always notice misplaced apostrophes.

    I can understand individuals getting grammar wrong, I notice it but that's the extent it goes to, I don't judge people on it, I know I was lucky to have a fantastic English teacher!


    !

    my kids are all rubbish at english grammer part of the problem is they translate directly from welsh to english so they think it is correct but often they say things wrong, family from England are always picking up on this and make a big deal i tell the kids if its a problem just speak welsh to them they will not know whether your right or wrong:rotfl::rotfl:

    Hi honeyz.

    Hope you are all OK.

    Back from a very long day!

    Has anyone used the bread vouchers? Did they work?

    Not much left, but the big Boots store in Leeds city centre had up to 50% off fragrance gift sets (not the nasty celebrity ones, the Joop/CK/Davidoff etc ones), and a further 10% off as well. Not sure if this would be 10% off the original price or 10% after the 50% off if you know what I mean. I was tempted but decided not to in the end. Not sure if this is nationwide, but for any West Yorkshire folk, this could be useful.
  • Graze snack box promo at WHS, leaflet with code for first box free. Sign up with code (grab a leaflet instore, or the code is probably elsewhere on MSE, or HUKD etc), get the first box free, then cancel the subscription. Choose what goes in the box - photo shows my box (with ruler to show size of box).
    Boxes are sent out every week, so when the first one arrives, that's a good reminder to cancel (though you can cancel up to two days before).

    Dont know if someone else has beaten me to it... but you dont need a code, and go through tcb and get £1. Mine arrived yesterday, very nice, tho I'd "binned" most of the choices to make sure i only got things I liked in the box.:rotfl:

    I know weird how your body can just reject something like that

    You can develop an allergy. Your body just decides it doesn't want it any more so will reject it. Happened to me with peanuts :mad: and practically every other washing powder and liquids :o
