    Massive hugs :A you've been on an emotional roller coaster these last few weeks. No wonder you feel a bit down. First Christmas without your mum making you feel :( all the excitement of the baby making you :j.....it really hard coping with such mixed emotions.

    As for the dog house....I doubt you'll be there long ;) I was only in it until I got home and asked my OH if I should start texting him when he's spending 5+ hours dangling his stick in the water :rotfl::rotfl: I also reminded him that I had a lot of lost shopping time to make up for, he now sees my point ;)

    I was fine at Christmas FC, it's funny what things throw you off course and remind you of the good times. :o

    Don't think I will be completely out of the dog house until the fridge is emptied of whoopsies. :rotfl: I think I took retail therapy to a whole new level this week. :eek:

    Here's a nice one for a AvT shop

    1.5L double strength so good value

    Just checked on MSM and only these 2 flavours work. All other varieties price match T

    Just wondering why 3 were bought when it's 2 for £2.50


    1 x ASDA Chosen by You Orange Squash Double Strength w... £1.49 £0.95
    2 x ASDA Chosen by You Apple & Blackcurrant Squash Dou... £2.50 £1.90

    Got a lovely surprise today, so did hubby, (don't tell him).
    Two lots of £30 of M&S vouchers, now to try to figure where on earth they have come from?
    Any ideas folks?
    Love your Mum, you'll never get another one when she's gone.

    Please can I ask about the Johnsons and Johnson print off vouchers pretty please?

    Ive printed one off so far (listerine) with an expiry of February 13th so about a month use by dates - is it the same with them all?

    Also are there any good items to buy for comparison shops using the Johnsons MOCs (or new Tesco mag MOCs)
    to generate APGs or TPPs.
    I've got planned so far 2 shops - maybe 3

    sasda v sainsbobns
    sada v Tosco if need be
    Tosco v sada possibly

    All depending on having enough MOCs

    Or anything using the new Tosco mag MOCs - the leaves were good during the week but I've not checked the price since.


    £2.00 A v £1.50 T - cost 35p after £1 moc and 65p APG.

    RE FIRST DIRECT
    I've been with them since they began eons ago ,when HSBC started telephone banking end of 80's early 90's and then started internet banking via First Direct, I just carried on moving with them as they changed technologies so years and years I've been with them. Superb service all round, any difficulties there's a phone number which I've never had an issues with. Never wanted to leave because they are so good and the internet side is so easy to do etc etc. I've never been tempted to leave, I can access accounts online, by phone and can pop into any HSBS branch to pay stuff in either via the machines or at the counter or indeed if I need to speak to anyone at a HSBC branch about the accounts. Truly excellent for me in everyway and have been for many many years so can whole heartedly recommend without reservation.
    I totally agree, ive been with them from the start. excellent service. to add a little to what you said, you can set up text messages. I have mine set up on anything withdrawn over £50 so I know quickly if my account has been hacked. also the call centre is manned by our Scottish friends which I consider to be a plus.

    Hi

    I got a £20 off £60 offer by email - signed up but I just waited to see what I was offered

    Then I used mysupermarket to look for the half price bargains of things we always use. Please do not mention the 20, yes 20, magnums purchased as bribery for OH.

    And I had forgotten the £6.06 from TCB

    So well worth signing up and just waiting to see what they offer



    Thank you Pauline for the explanation.....might just do this.

    Just been invited to orchard campaign for potatoes.

    Page says I should plan on having meaningful and authentic conversations about potatoes. That is a challenge.


    I'll be having meaningful and authentic convos with the Mrs if she keeps serving me chips!!:cool::rotfl::rotfl:
