    Morning all :)

    Great music selection last night :D

    I thought I'd start the day by sharing some good news :) my mum and auntie were both called back in after shadows were found on their mammograms but both have now been give the all clear :j

    Excellent news :T:T I have a mammogram next week, might have to rearrange though. Either way, I will not miss it as I lost my mum and my aunt to it.

    Simply doesn't work :D Been 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 :D 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:

    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 :D

    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.

    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....'
