    We have rain pouring into our porch and coming down our chimney not sure if we are lucky the fire place is sealed off or whether the plasterboard will give way. :eek:

    Sounding worse than Wednesday outside, glad me and Mr TS went out for lunch instead of an evening meal. Had to put my clothes on the radiatior when I got in, heavens opened as I came out of Ts with a trolley load of shopping. Drowned rat would have been an understatement. :o

    Not alot of help right now, but when you get the chance, get some 1/2 round tiles and use them to cap the chimney stack.
    Back to square one, no apg, no comment.

    I was also in Chester today :j

    The weather was so foul we didn't get to Tpsco - just did what we needed and went home again.

    We went to crabtrees and swapped 2 old hand creams for 2 new ones - assistant said its only one per customer and then I pointed out my OH stood next to me - 5 foot 11 and 16 stone - and told the assistant that he was also a customer :rotfl:
    She tried to say that she had not seen him but gave up when she realised how absurb a thing to say ..:rotfl:

    The across the road to Loctaine to get 2 handcream sets :T

    (so now I have 8 handcreams!)

    And then onto Picture and Piano for free drinks which were mostly crushed ice :(.

    Yes that's what we did Hubby took Riley to the park , this was before it started raining while I did what I had to do. Lol some assistants will say anything not to give you a freebie. I got my two handcream sets a week or so ago. I didn t bother going to Waitrose as I don't really like their drinks to be honest . Went to Primark and bought a bra and knickers set using some of my vouchers from sun plus. It was only £5 and rather nice. Usually the cheaper sets aren t big enough for me lol. I went to the Tesco in Wrexham. For a city the Tesco in Chester is n t up to much I don't think.

    Thanks frequent, will get other half to look at it. OH thinks it is just the way the wind is blowing at the moment.

    We don't have a chimney pot anymore after it exploded after a chimney fire (another story). Our builder at the time put a copex flue in and one of those silver flues on top of the chimney ready for a gas fire maybe some point in the future. We had the fire place hole plaster boarded the copex flue is hanging above.

    Never heard anything come down it before so maybe something has blown off the top. :(

    free thorntons heart shaped lolly on sun perky. download voucher and collect in store xx

    Happy Valentines day all. Lovely flowers Rhosynbach for Nanny xxx

    Ours is MSE we dont gift. I love him the same as yesterday and as much as tomo. Its our way <3

    xxxx

    I wished I'd realised it was a downloadable voucher from Sun+ - I thought it was a newspaper coupon and I wasn't going to pay 40p - I was near a Thorntons in town today as well :D

    Now here is the weird thing I've joined and cancelled sun+ a few times but as far as I know I have cancelled all of them now. So I tried the newest membership and it would not allow me access.
    So I tried an earlier membership and I could log in :cool: so I entered all the draws and printed off a Thorntons voucher for Saturdays shopping trip :T
    But now I am wondering if my cancellation actually went through or if I should try again via live chat - they might offer me a gift card incentive to stay on.

    Maybe I ought to ask where my T gift card is first though ;)
