    I nearly bought one in b&q a couple year ago because mum said council wouldn't know. But I am unlucky and would get found out :( .

    My sister lives in a HA house, she is not allowed to put anything in the loft as she has solar panels:cool:

    Good morning :)

    Just been for a lovely walk on the beach.

    Tried to have a conversation with DS2 about tactfulness and people's feelings :cool: He says feelings are overrated :eek: do you know maybe he's right and the rest of the world is wrong? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    Love these conversations, they always give me much to think about!

    Good morning:wave:

    Hope everyone had a lovely weekend:)

    I've not caught up so don't know if this has already been mentioned ...mr t has a £5 off £20 code online for household heroes, it seems to be lots of fabric con, wash powder, toilet cleaners etc basically lots of cleaning bits...

    I've done a bit of research...so far I've got..

    Lenor 33 wash... £3.35 t. £2 @
    Bold Peony +rose. 24 wash. £6 t. £4@
    Comfort blue 85 wash £6t. £4 @
    Persil small and mighty non bio. 60 wash £12 t. £9@

    Sadly can't find the 60 wash bio online for my t:( I find the green bottles cleans the monkeys clothes better than the blue

    Good return for a pp also:)

    If you were to buy the three highlighted along with a few filler bits to get to 10 items...

    You'd pay £21.35....(plus fillers or other shopping bits) - £5 code and a pp for £6.35...

    I'm sure someone can do better, these are just from a quick initial search:)

    Hope that's useful

    Yes I know and none of them want to have the same dress, bought the dress as found that hiring was just as expensive
    this way hopefully I will be able to recoup some of the costs later.
    Have hair, nails, fake tan all booked
    hopefully a neighbour is letting her use their merc for the car to take them there our vW transporter isn't good enough lol
    Anyway it is a cheaper thing this time round as 3 years ago I had my twin dd to pay for.
    After this have a few years reprieve as next youngest is only 9 and DS so hopefully slightly cheaper.

    I got my ds a £10.50 suit from Matalan on the off chance it fit lol and it does :). Was on hukd and it's a good label priced on the tag as £75. He was not interested in shopping for himself lol and a bonus is it also fits my other ds so he can wear it if he needs a suit. Asked him what we doing about car as my oh good friend has limo business and we don't usually pay as oh services them but he says he isn't fussed and will just turn up. Shame dd not nearer cos she just got a nice BMW. Bet your dd will look like a princess :)
    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.
