    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 ;)



    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.


    Me too :) 1350 :beer:
    Glad you had a good day
    yes as much as we love
    the little people
    its nice to have a minute without them too
  • Logie - :T great news re your first day back

    MKS - glad you had the chance to make peace with your brother. Nobody knows whats around the corner and I'm glad you had the opportunity.

    bubbs - when can you move back?

    TS - good news re bungalow offer :T but sympathies re your ankle. Hope its not serious. :(

    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 ?



    Just checked my reciept and def £2.00. I think some stores do vary in their pricing.

    Aau ..I love your bargains today..I will have to look out for those tins :)

    Good afternoon:D

    Along the same lines with the burgers, today I bought 3 packs of mince in the 3 for £10, pp compared £12 against A's £9. Not the biggest saving in the world but I needed this anyway:)
    Couldnt find the revelant burgers in my t's :mad:
    Got ones with garlic. Didnt compare to any other supermarkets :o
    Manage to use 3 orchard vouchers so not all bad :T

    What fab news TS.....the bungalow not your ankle...they say everything happens for a reason........the bungalow not your ankle..........best sit tonight with it up on a cushion.....your ankle of course:D

    :D Think you are all in for a long night with me. :rotfl:

    I am sat up with a cushion but over my toes, have just iced it for another 20 minutes to help the swelling but my foot is now bloomin freezing. :eek:

    I am over the moon with the new offer, fingers crossed it all goes well this time. I did not accept it straight away even though was £1,000 more than previous one I sat on it all afternoon while other buyers looked and without asking it was upped another £3,000 so they must be keen. I am really happy with the price, not a family but an older lady but I'm sure the bungalow will be happy with that, it is used to them. ;)

    Forgot to say I was another one with cancellation for that Obaby Stroller and Footmuff from Ts. Doesn't look like any being honoured does it. :(
