    Thanks aau I have been very patient, I knew 23rd December that mortgage was a problem. But apparently previous planning permission with the place they are selling is now an issue so they are no further along than begininning of December. :(

    I feel really bad as they were so excited but have left it that they can come back if they are in a position to.

    And I know I eat all sorts but white fluff is not one of them. :p

    I know you will want to sell and move on from all this but at least this gives you time to run down your cheese stash :p

    Thank you
    That makes sense, and has saved me the unfortunate experience of arguing with an SA in Sainsburys. Off to T's it is.

    Sorry I could not answer your question myself earlier, sneaked on this thread at work, I will get shot if I ever I get caught :rotfl::rotfl:
    Thank you Enterprise1701C and Locarr for answering this question
    I so must make time this year to learn how to use a thread properly

    Big hugs to anyone that needs one, I am not a good communicator so I do not post many comments, I so wish I could be more like ssm:rotfl::rotfl: but I am very pleased my shop post help today :j

    Oh out with his friends tonight so a rare evening on my own, 10p pizza and a couple of cheeky black russians for me :j:j
    Before the night shift:p (angels) get a hold of this a black russian for me is vodka, tia maria , babycham and coke
    Hope everyone else have a good Friday evening

    Looks like Ts Direct are still packing every item separately. Ive just had 2 different 'your order is ready to collect' emails for the 2 throws I ordered the other day. At least I might be able to avoid confusion if Im expecting more than one package this time!

    I've just had 5 emails :o

    Four throws and a cushion :)

    Sounds like a film :D

    No, nothing worth it Avs S, so will stick to just one shop Avs T and save money by therefore buying fewer items in total! 8 (or thereabouts) instead of 16!

    S just too expensive a store.

    So, elsewhere, it's Bird's Eye Light & Crunchy Breaded Chicken (4 pack) S £3.49 vs T £1.62, with a mean 5% cashback. And Bird's Eye Southern Fried Chicken (4 pack) T £3.25 vs S £1.62:rotfl::rotfl:.

    Or, having said S is expensive, perhaps just get S Basics Chicken Steaks 4 pack (380g) at £1.15 and probably cost less anyway!! And seems possibly about 20g more.

    Switching back abruptly (as I usually do:wink:) to Tvs S, the Ricola Herb Drops are 69p:( T vs 65p S. Arrrggghh - I hate T, they are a bunch of [censored]:mad::mad: when they drop the price like that. I want them to have them at £1.39.:(:mad:

    Thank you :) I felt a bit deflated when I got home afterwards. There was no one at home (OH has a friend visiting and they were fishing) When I got DS2 home from school....I told him all excitedly and he said 'Oh did you.....can I have some crisps please' :o :rotfl:

    That's poo about the bungalow :( Hopefully you will have better luck this time and it will all go quickly and smoothly. And I hope whatever else is making you miserable is resolved :)......Im not saying you have been a miserable sod :eek: I haven't been around enough to notice :D

    Well you are a lot braver than me FC, not something I can say I ever want to try to do. Well done hun xx

    Not all been totally resolved I am in the dog house. :eek: I will get over it but let's just say I got texts in Ts other night like you it was the start of it but got worse when I got home. I need to reign things in a bit. :o

    Also been a bit depressed, think because Boots Sale time of year as my mum's eyes would open wide with all the bargains I brought in to her. And of course I did not have her xmas shopping to do this year. So I was deflated having no one to share them with too. :(

    And it would have been my dad's birthday yesterday too. :(

    And what with all the problems selling the bungalow I have been a bit this week. :eek:
