    All T Xmas paper, cards, wrap, bows etc down to 10p. I filled my boots :D Xmas gifts down 75% but still not cheap enough for me.

    Thanx for the heads up :T
    I got burgers this morning (still working) and used 10 different rolls of gift wrap as fillers :j :rotfl:

    Good morning everyone. Ah I'm shattered today. Poor little girl of mine woke up with a poorly throat just as we were getting into bed last night and stayed up til 4ish. She had her tonsils and adenoids removed last week, poor thing. She's full of life today though, despite the lack of sleep, while I'm feeling very sorry for myself!

    Glad to hear the burgers are still working. Was hoping to get some more today.

    Shame about the milkshake haha ;)

    But erm, do you often get company reps in this thread?

    Hope you're all having a good Monday so far.
  • I would limit the amount of information you publically post, it's not that we don't want to help you through this tough time but the mil sounds cunning enough to use any scrap against you.

    Scamps, your Mrs, has your considerable sized stash, so her family will have asked her about it all by now? Did it occur to you, she and her family, are probably reading the thread? Not much chance of keeping a secret, on an open internet forum is there?

    I was thinking this morning about the potential issue of Scamps's wife and her family monitoring Scamps's posts here on an open forum about his personal issues, for 'nefarious reasons' shall we say.
    One possible solution would be for some people here to put their names forward to offer advice to Scamps on any personal issues, which Scamps could raise with them by PM and the advice could be given in the same way. His own personal 'advice squad', if you like.
    Scamps could then limit his public posts to the usual glitches/bargains and general chit-chat.
    It's one for Scamps to think about first, rather than people volunteering now. I also think he's likely to get lots of people volunteering - it's that kind of forum. :)
