    ASDA order didn't go to plan

    Went to collect it. Had a email from online bank beforehand stating I have been charged full price of Dove. Invoice in store said the £2 price. But does that mean they have the full amount on hold and will charge the smaller amount later? Online bank doesn't detail whether it's on hold or actually taken but I can't access the full amount.

    They didn't have many in stock so didn't even get substitutes all the way.
    Cup of Tea? :coffee:

    QUOTE=underperky;64638847]Had a lovely time with my grand daughter today then they went out and left the dog
    its very funny how you never feel alone in the house


    even if the dog is asleep











    I miss not having a dog ,
    But I am not going to get one .
    I stay clear of puppies and dog shelters
    as I would bring them all home[/QUOTE]

    OH has had endless hours with Top Gear this morning - I think this is what started it all.
    If I sat for hours on a Saturday morning watching house and garden programmes he would blow a fuse :eek:

    I think you need to try it next weekend!

    Mine keeps falling asleep, but as soon as I move he is wide awake and tell me he is enjoying the game! I didn't know he snored whilst watching telly!!!!!

    Really hope it's a dry night for you bubbs. Sorry not been on much last few days.
    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.

    For anyone who has the large knorr caterers pack of tomato/ basil paste......came free last year.....now is the ideal time to turn those burgers into Spag bol:D
    I'm batch cooking a load today:)

    Am I right in thinking that the burgers are a tad fatty?

    I think so. Much fattier than mince from the market. Plan to cook them w onions when making spag bol and add no extra fat.

    A teacher is asking the children about their ambitions in life


    Some real-life stories, from booksellers, as recounted in 'Weird Things Customers Say in Bookshops' by Jen Campbell.


    CUSTOMER: Do you have a book with a list of careers? I want to give my daughter some inspiration.
    BOOKSELLER: Ah, is she applying to university?
    CUSTOMER: Oh no, not yet. She’s just over there. Sweetheart?
    (a four year old girl comes over)
    CUSTOMER: There you are. Now, you talk to the nice lady, and I’m going to find you a book on how to become a doctor or a scientist. What do you think about that?
    (The girl says nothing)
    CUSTOMER (to bookseller): Won’t be a sec.
    (Customer wanders off into non-fiction)
    BOOKSELLER: So, what’s your name?
    CHILD: Sarah.
    BOOKSELLER: Sarah? That’s a beautiful name.
    CHILD: Thank you.
    BOOKSELLER: So, Sarah, what do you want to be when you grow up?
    CHILD: . . . A bumblebee!


    YOUNG BOY: When I grow up, I’m going to be a book ninja.
    BOOKSELLER: Cool! What do book ninjas do?
    YOUNG BOY: I can’t tell you. It’s top secret.


    (A young girl is looking at some pony books)
    BOOKSELLER: Do you like horses?
    YOUNG GIRL: Yes. When I grow up I’m going to have a pony.
    BOOKSELLER: That sounds like fun.
    YOUNG GIRL: Yes. And it will be better than all the other ponies.
    BOOKSELLER: How come?
    YOUNG GIRL: Because mine will have a purple tail. And roller-skates.
