    hello buyitall....how did you get on with your son and his lost wallet? hope you had calmed down enough when he got home? xxx was thinking of you today - kids eh??!

    School are investigating but I didn't hear anything back from them after I spoke to them this morning, so can assume there is nothing to report (as expected). I had calmed down a lot by the time he came home, and took onboard all of the wise words from you lovely lot :A Thank you for thinking of me :):)

    You could just as easily ask. "If"

    They might not sign up to MSM at all :eek:

    But msm.co.uk does say that, if M went online, it would be very easy for msm to add them to their site. (Still waiting...!) Perhaps they won't add them yet as they'll say they are just available in a few postcodes and N/A across the rest of the country's 'msm'. M are now online. Why haven't you added them? Maybe time to press (gently!) msm.

    I'm sorry guys but I have to ask this....

    I'm trying to epilate for the first time, so far (after almost an hour) I have managed to turn it on and place it near my leg-it pulled one hair and I suddenly came down with Tourette's :eek:

    Any hints or do I just need to get over it??

    Tia

    Yes stick to shaving :D

    Perhaps he's returning the Mullers:eek:.
  • I must be weird as I really like those Nakd bars, the choc orange one is my favourite lol and I have even bought them with real money!! :eek:
    The same company also make Trek bars and I really like those too!

    I never eat milk chocolate so maybe my taste buds have changed lol! :rotfl:

    Edit: Thrifty, if you do have more coupons or actual Nakd bars, please do donate them to a food bank as someone with coeliac disease or lactose intolerance might be really grateful for them as gluten & dairy free treats are really expensive. x


    Oh didn't think of that good idea, shall deff do that in the future, I think it was more the texture of them they have a weird squidgy with a slight shine to them. Weird question but do food banks take cat food as well, we've got about 20 of the Mr M's own brand that were 15p not that long ago our cat looked at them like what do you expect me to do with that.

    C'mon, you know you have to do your M&S shop sooner or later:)
    No problems for me, I'm not easily phased by things like that.
    You won't have any problems, either :j

    I was supposed to be going tonight as OH had ordered something from a shop nearby... I was half way home and rang OH to remind him.. he was in the bath! I was going to go on my own, but he needed to be present to pick up his order hence the delay.

    He wants meat, I want spinach and ricotta!
