    After the watershed, so I can relate this 'best relationship put-down' from last night - overheard I should add, not in our party...
    Young couple, early twenties, the woman had obviously done something wrong, and the man was proper distraught - in tears, big 'real man' too. "How could you do this to me? I love you so much, and you go and do this? You've broken my heart." Pleading, desperate, really upset. Woman finally turns to him and says (imagine this in a really annoyed, put-upon, northern voice):
    "Well, if I'd known you'd react like this, I wish I had fornicated your brother."
    (but she said a rude word:o)

    My kids loved both. Only tip I can give is get there for opening and go on most popular rides before the coach parties get there.

    Evening all

    Just caught an excellant set by Calvin Harris on the bbc big weekend. Not so empressed by Example though.

    Very sad today as got the news my cousins 11 year old daughter died of a brain tumour on thursday. As far as I understand it there was no warning signs she was fit and healthy. Such a pretty happy child.:(
    Absolutely heartbreaking, she leaves a twin sister.

    Counting my blessing tonight but grieving at the same time.

    Spent day quietly.

    :( Oh so sad VT. My thoughts are with you and your cousins family. Can't begin to imagine how they must be feeling. xxx

    I have not tried it yet but there are some wines 3 for £12 and 3 for £15 in Sainsbobs and they have 25% off at the moment. I know the discount only comes off the multibuy price but works out £3 or £3.75 a bottle. I did try to research if any would give brand match but not sure which price it would match from.

    Oh I'm not much good with BM. I've not done them often enough and when I get one I always struggle with what to spend it on. Sains keep bombarding me with cond. spends though, and Ive still not got round to spending my £50 GC

    New Brand Match rules in NI (at least)from 2nd June.

    No need to spend £20 - just 10 items one of which should be comparable. They will only give money back on BRANDED stuff though, Watch this space.

    That's almost as bad as telling your OH that you fancy her sister! It was a joke that went horribly wrong :eek:

    Can I just remark at my own single track mind, when I read that it definitely didn't say EMUS

    Can I just say you have totally lost me. :o
