    Really enjoyed my first day back :D I'm classroom based this week to update before I head back clinically. It was actually lovely to have a coffee break where I could just sit down without interruption by small people ;)

    Haven't a chance of catching up from before my holiday. So any info on glitches etc would be welcome.

    Have to say a public 'Thank you' to FunkyFeet.:T

    Because of one of her posts, I got back in touch with my brother. How glad I am that I did as we've spent time together and shared Christmas etc. with each other.

    He died last Wednesday after suffering a brain (intracranial) hemorrhage. Totally unexpected. It would have been his birthday tomorrow.

    So, please, anyone that has fallen out with family/close friends make the first move, you will never know if you'll get another chance. Life is just too short and you don't know what is around the corner.

    So sorry to hear your sad news :( Thank goodness you had a chance to reconcile and create some memories. A lesson for us all not to put things off.

    Ok I started the day running with so much to do, that I didn't get chance to wish Logie well starting back at work. :A

    Unfortunately have ended the day with hardly being able to walk as I did a Scamps. :eek: After my makeover at DD3s college this morning I fell down the steps going over on my ankle. :o Not sure whether just a sprain or whether I have done anything worse, going to wait until the morning, it's pretty swollen and very painful to weight bear, and can see the bruising but think the bruising would be worse if I have fractured it.

    Have had to be chauffeured to multiple bungalow viewings and the dentist today, Mr TS not happy. Don't think I can persuade him to take me to Ts, I am well jealous of everyone's 5p/10p bargains today. :T

    Anyway good news, I have another offer on the bungalow and £4,000 more than original offer. :j And this buyer does not have a mortgage to arrange as all the equity in her property which has been under offer already for 2 weeks from a cash buyer. :j:j:j

    So looks like I will be having multiple cheese, gammon and wine parties to empty the fridge around there. And going to need lots of help emptying the freezer. :rotfl:

    Poor you..hope it feels better in the morning and thanks for the warning x

    Ilovetoshop ...your little caterpillar set is adorable:)

    MKS...what an extraordinary story and an emotional roller coaster for you. So so so thankful you made up and now so sorry for your loss:o

    Wondering how logie got on...anyone heard?

    And am I the only one to get told off for using the hand held scanners:o
    No you are not I have been told off every time ,
    So after using the other Saturday night
    when I got home and unpacked
    I looked at receipt as you do
    and I had paid for 3 pairs of socks though I had
    only got 2 and had put one back
    but forgot to remove it
    so next time in store I asked cs had they any securities
    in place as I had over charged myself
    she said no just if you haven't paid for something . now I got the caterpillar set today too but it was £2-50
    do different stores sell at different prices ?

    Sorry to hear of your loss
    and good that you got to spend that time together
  • Had a really busy (but satisfying) :p day doing very satisfying things :D

    Been to two T's (got lots of 10p goodies including christmas cards, tags, wrapping paper, gold/silver tissue & crackers) and some of the Muppet guitar shaped cushions which are scanning at 50p. These will be earmarked for a fundraising event later in the year. Also, went to M7S and got the gammon - thanks to a very kind Elite member :A

    I also sold some carp on fleabay and got that posted off. :o

    It feels good getting back to something like normal after being out of action. :D And had lunch with a friend - bliss :T
