Excellent news :T:T I have a mammogram next week, might have to rearrange though.

Simply doesn't workBeen taking my ipod to T's on any shop that is likely to last more than half an hour for ages, always look up or down if I see something at eye height and only visit the aisles I want to visit
Been upsetting my local Lidl manager lately as they have just opened a bakery and I have bought nothing from it yet - he has notice I pick up speed going past it rather than slowing down like you're supposed to !
Talking of Lidl, must pop out and get some mince and cheese. I think I've been a bit of a naughty girl because I am going to have to play freezer tetris for that :eek: I had so much room in my freezer, who's been nipping round putting their stash in my freezer :mad::mad::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare0 -

Thank you, interesting reading confirming what we have known for a while - they are playing a game and so are we.
Can you imagine the outcome of their research if they just happened to include Elite on a glitch run ... ? Do we think the Flumps, white mice and X identical items or pairs of items would skew their results ....

Good morning Elite
Dark clouds around me here in Suffolk
Work up just after 4am had a catchup and a cuppa then back to bed. I think I have now overslept.
I have a visitor staying this weekend so will me mia, unless I can sneak a few minutes away and have a lurk
Happy shopping Elite :beer:There's no place like home
Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.
Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.0 -

One of the comments at end of article:I worked in a shop where as well as all the above the store manager used to walk around with tinned salmon in his pockets and when he came across a trolley with no one looking he would put a can in.. You would be surprised how few were rejected at the checkouts. As he said 'Every Little Helps....'
