    I have some news though. I have a new addition to my household. Our nearly 15 year old godson who has arrived today to stay with us.
    I won't go into all the ins and outs, I'll just say that he wasn't receiving the care and support at home that he ought to have been . Hes very recently been diagnosed with Aspergers.
    I know people will think Im bonkers taking on another kid with all Ive had going on. But, it's not a decision I took lightly or without the views of everyone else who lives here. Quite honestly, the alternative to him coming here was unthinkable :(

    What an :A you are:T

    He is fortunate to have you as a godmother.
    And kudos to the rest of your family, too.

    (I have knowledge of a similar-ish experience, many years ago (not me, through a person who was similarly taken in); the care and love that was shown to that person, when they were in a situation where they thought that no one cared about them, changed their life, and made them the person they are today.)

    I noticed today that a Click and Collect terminal has appeared in the normal A store (bigger than ex-Netto, not a superstore) this week. Apparently can now collect groceries from there too :). Downside is that deliveries and c and c round here come from a distribution centre (ghost store behind another big store). Are they likely to have the glitches that some of you have managed when the price online has been higher than instore?

    That said, £1 for delivery is good value if you can max the return (or ... For a "normal" shop :o).

    Many thanks

    That's what I meant, do we think the instore price for them will be the online price or will their system similarly match the instore reduced price elsewhere?

    Many thanks

    Hows you?
    Very fine indeed, thanks for asking.:)
    Bit of shopping this morning (some Lidl rice, and also got a jar of their sundried tomatoes, great store-cupboard essential for pasta sauces etc and excellent value). Got the old creative juices going this afternoon, so was making things - excellent fun:D May post some piccies later...
    You up to anything exciting jelly??
    Nowt planned as yet. Probably a quiet night in. Got some homework I ought to do sometime this weekend, but might leave that till tomorrow. I'd put it near the front door to try and guilt-trip myself into doing it, but it hasn't worked yet.:rotfl:

    It is a good tent though, I do like it a lot :D We've got the side extension for it as well, but we've never actually had it up yet, so not sure how much space it adds, but I'm looking forward to finding out :cool:
