    Since we are now in the last 20% of the thread and a new one will need to be started in the next few days, shall we have some nominations now? a decision can then be made and we can avoid having too many toys coming out the pram!:cool:

    what do you think?:D

    of course if no one steps forward.......;)

    Down boy - no-one starts two threads in a row.

    This appears to have been way beyond the line - buying items off eBay and elsewhere and returning to different stores at full price, buying fake MOCs off eBay ... jail term 2 and a half years:

    And she was a policewoman too (hopefully not one of the Elite or on MSE!).

    Worth a read for anyone tempted to go beyond the line ... (or anyone wanting to be reminded where some of the lines exist)......

    Good morning all...


    Must confess to little tear in the eye as I dropped eldest son at school this morning for the last full day...


    He now only needs to return for exams.....but will be continuing next year in lower 6th.


    It just doesnt seem that long since he got out the car aged 4 to start at the nursery across the road from the mainschool and over the years has progressed through various buildings all part of the same complex.


    I did my last T drop by too as I now wont be travelling that route quite so much in the future....but its not all lost there is a bigger T just a few miles in the other direction which I am sure will become my regular stomping ground.


    Ive also worked out our food spend for the week ...sat to sat....and assuming I dont shop tomorrow which is unlikely then I've got it under £35 for the 4 of us...£34.39 to be precise...
    I admit to having used a few coupons and PPs but its the first time I've had it this low...and the fridge and freezer also seem reasonably stocked to last the weekend too....


    Weather looks brighter here this morning so thats a bit of a bonus....


    Hugs to those that are in need and those who just think they would like one!
    frugal October...£41.82 of £40 food shopping spend for the 2 of us!
