    I am having a serious wardrobe crisis :o
    I dunno what to wear tonight.
    I'm going to a town center pub so can't go too dressy, I've been in black trousers all week so I'm associating them with work now. Jeans could work but I dunno what to wear with them. I quite fancy a dress but my legs look like milk bottles.
    Aghhhh why is it so hard.

    I'm thinking tights are going to be the answer.
    It's so much easier for a bloke.
    Jeans , shirt = job done

    Ive got a worse crisis in a couple of weeks, posh award lunch. I can dress for posh dinners or smart casual and I can look presentable for business breakfasts but I have no idea what to wear for lunch - might have to do the very predictable black trousers and nice top.
    2 problems - firstly its an hour on the train so whatever I wear has to stand the rigours of being sat on for an hour. Also since they re vamped Birmingham New Street I cant find the exit so I end up on the wrong side and have to walk completely round the block - it will probably be snowing.
    Also wine is involved and I have no control at lunch time- hopefully they will limit us to 2 glasses :D Its only in the Bull Ring so there is no point getting a taxi back to the station so I will have to resist the wine or take a large handbag to bring the bottle home.
    The last time I got on a train very seriously drunk there was a major incidence on the track and we could not get home so we ended up in Oxford travellodge but that's another story ...

    I managed to buy two E45 handwashes in Sada today. The SA scrutinized the coupons and asked if they were photocopies. She also spent ages looking for the expiry date.. Thankfully, accepted though.


    A couple of tills down, my OH got trouted. The SA said that the handwas handwash wasn't a proper E45 product and refused. Shame! Still, 2 out of 4 isn't bad. Plenty of time to get more, hopefully.

    Why? Just Log out, log back in with other account? I process my receipts and Mrs Anon's on same phone. No issues processing so far (beyond the usual Shopitize app playing silly burgers!).

    Great solution, Anon (as always). Thank you very much.

    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up & never give up.

    • Asda – we take prices daily from the Asda.com grocery website
    • Sainsbury’s – we take prices daily from the Sainsburys.co.uk grocery website
    • Morrisons – as Morrisons don’t have an online grocery shopping service, we check prices twice a week by visiting stores
    We use an independent agency to check the prices for us.



    this made me laugh can imagine someone being sent to scan every item in m's :rotfl:
    That was my friends job, quite a few years ago - sometimes I would go with her to Safeways - there was always a danger of being sussed and thrown out for collecting prices:rotfl:
