Anyone around the Milton Keynes area know if the M&S in the shopping centre there has ss tills? tia

me, me, me - I'm an MK local :T The one in the centre has about 6 SS tills (to the left) and the one at Bletchley MK1 centre has SS as well. The one at Kingston doesn't have SS

Anyway that is one decision made, the next house we buy has to have a hallway - never had one of those - with a space to put a 15 foot pre decorated Christmas tree and a large enough garage or outhouse to store it for 48 weeks of the year :rotfl:

By the time I have written my house wish list it I will need Phil and Kirsty to do the house hunt for me

When we designed our house, I had a few wishes

1. Symmetrical from the outside
2. An aga and a wood burner in the kitchen.
3. Symmetrical bay windows (to put christmas trees up in)
4. A large open fire in the living room
5. A hallway where I can have a huge christmas tree in

I got over ruled on the bay windows!

I have not thought of how to decorate the rooms, but I know how the christmas decorations will be!!

:D:D:D:D:D:D

Edit... this should be I had a wish list. OH was totally different to mine!

Afternoon :)have utilised my NSD by catching up on a lot of overdue chores 3loads of washing;) and managed to hang it out in the garden:Tjust been and got it in and not completely dry but oh it does smell lovely.There is a beautiful red sunset so looks like the making of another pleasant day tomorrow and the nights are definately getting lighter:)
Have attempted a 5-2 day not done too bad but as tiny said when you have had such a lot of goodies over Christmas its quite tough:eek:I think keeping busy helps a lot;)

Good going for catching up and doing your NSD nanny. Drink a large glass of water or a herbal tea, helps with the rumbling tummy. And stay out of the kitchen (and therefore the fridge and cupboards)

Excuse the article but I've just laughed my head off and had to share.. a daily mail article about men choosing clothes for their wives. The second couple look really good, the third is alright. But the first couple are laughable. Then someone commented at the bottom that her red dress looks like a bag of damp washing :rotfl: I'm still chuckling away at it, it's really tickled me. :rotfl:

Ditto.

Ive been playing on the sky website and ordered a new sky hub which may or may not solve our fluctuating wi fi problems - free anyway :T

Also had a play on the comparison websites and found what looks like a suitable alternative to Eon which is a fixed rate one which may save us £18 a month - this will probably be eaten up by rises in water rates and house rates :mad:

Spoken to a nice lady on marks money who said I had £35 in my account more than I thought I had and when my savings account renews in March it might have the same interest rate as now - she did say something about £90 in interest which would be very nice.

May or may not have cancelled my Sun+ - no idea what happened!

Checked my online banking to make sure all bills went through and found extra cash in the savings account - forgotten that the interest goes on at the end of December.

I've got to pay the final amount for the holiday next week - 2/3 paid with CC deals as a deposit and 1/3 left to pay but I've just about covered it now with all of the extra bits and pieces salted away

And another NSD- 3 full ones now and another 3 where I only spent tiny amounts, less than a fiver :T

Just realised about the CC, shame it is OOS as could you imagine exchanging these for Goldsmiths vouchers... I would have a wonderful ring!

:D:D:D:D:D:D

Was it always 2500 pts or has it changed since you looked? I don't see the attraction to £25 of points

OMG, the first ones are .... do you think his face is like this as he is posing or has been hit by a shovel. The clothes are horrendous.

the second couple, is he wearing a wig.. can you imagine meeting a guy, and him choosing all your clothes in such a short period of time? but the clothes are lovely...

I quite like the third guy.. seems more of a natural progression.

But there is a lot of red dresses!!!

:D:D:D:D
