    Morning.
    As patty said it's lovely in Belfast today but I do spy some grey/black clouds on the horizon, I hope they pass by without any rain. Planning to take DS on a drive along the causeway costal route with his camera so hope it stays dry. I might manage a bit of shopping while we're out and have to collect a c&c before 7pm.
    Oh my goodness how long it took me yesterday to pick £50 of stuff that I actually needed (I had a £10 off £50 and the £5 off £20 in household I wanted to use), I had to bypass all the toiletries and the only thing in laundry I'd need soon was fabric softener, I still don't need toilet roll (I think I've enough for another year and I've given loads away), I don't need cleaning stuff or proper meal food so ended up with loads of snacky stuff that was on offer and should last until mid July (I hope :o).
    It's going to look funny because I'll be picking up fabric softener, toilet bleach, kitchen rolls (have lots but couldn't think of anything else to get), a few cereals and the rest snacks but at least it's more stuff to remove from my regular shopping list. At this rate I think I'll end up with just fruit, bread and milk to buy each week :T

    I also had huge problems getting to £60. I have a conditional spend but its not valid until Monday so I thought I'd do the order yesterday anyway rather than loose the £5 household discount.
    I could not think of a single thing we needed so I just got 3 packs of 18 packs of loo paper - we must be the only people who are running out plus a couple of bottles of surface wipe to get to £20.

    I also found some big boxes of cat food sachets - 40 in a box reduced to £7 - usual price is between £10 and £13 so a good saving - we have 3 cats so we need industrial amounts of cat food.

    So Ive got click and collect for late this afternoon - bit worried about what substitutes we might end up as its a very small store which always seems to have very poor stock levels.

    Ive not told OH what we are collecting :D I've also got a direct order to collect from a tiny Tesco metro and that order looks like its going through as well today.

    Also yesterday after a lot of dithering I ordered the printer ink, went through Topcashback and found a company which was doing 342 so I got 3 packs and free delivery, hopefully this will come on Monday.

    For someone with no shopping Mojo I seem to be spending a lot of money :T

    Wow, looks amazing:T
    Was it from your design/artwork? Why a typewriter, if you don't mind me asking.
    Trying to work out what the lettering at the top says ... 'Beauty'?

    Aww thanks Jelly. I wanted an old underwood style typewriter so I sent over some pictures but basically the design of it is down to the guy who did it- Antony Flemming. He's brilliant.

    A typewriter because I used to have one as a child and when I'm writing I'm at my happiest.

    The lettering at the top says beautiful. I got it at a time when I wasn't feeling beautiful at all so it's a little reminder to myself to not let insecurities take hold :)

    Good morning everyone.
    Happy birthday Nanny. Have a wonderful day.
    Been to Lild. Managed to get the turkey which is now unpacked and rebagged and frozen. Also got a few packets of rice and some mixed peppers that were 29p for 3. This was a labeling error but as they were clearly labelled as 29p and we asked SA if this was correct and they said it was, I got 6 packs for this price which I will chop & freeze tomorrow.

    And to make matters worse neither of my Topcashback purchases yesterday - Tesco click and collect and Eurooffice - have tracked so I've had to put in a support tickets

    I've never managed to get a support ticket to a satisfactory stage so I am fed up now, looking at how much money I am not going to get :mad:

    Thanks, no Lidl near me unfortunately. Your post did prompt me to look on MYS though, and Morrisons are doing a 300g bag for 99p so will pop there later :)
    My children (teenagers) absolutely love the Nutribullet, it is so great seeing them enjoying such healthy food :A:A

    :j
    Hope mine take to it well ;) also xx
    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.
