  • Good morning everyone :)

    Popping in to say hi :j:j but also to remind everyone to keep an eye on their Club Card vouchers in their accounts. Many many vouchers are still being stolen from accounts.

    Have a good day x

    Morning all!

    Isn't there a saying along the lines of

    'If someone is nice to you but rude to the waiter, they are not a nice person'

    Basically you can tell the quality of a person by how they interact with someone they don't HAVE to be polite to. I'll admit it's something I always look at on dates. The dates I go on once in a blue moon that is :)

    Strange as it sounds it's nice to know people have been in a similar situation to us (it was our own making so I'm not looking for sympathy) as in the 'real world' nobody we know has gone through the same thing (if they have they don't mention it).
    I handle all the finances so for years I kept it all to myself, only in the last few years did I finally cave and tell DH the extent of the mess we were in :o

    Onwards and upwards sweetie...Earlier years definitely form how you deal with money later on - it may have been horrid at the time but you came through it. And good luck on the house move/dilemma that i read earlier.
    That's one of the things I love with this thread. You can actually tell people about the mess you got into and you don't get judged :)

    In my head I'm still 16 years old :D
    Dad looked after the kids yesterday and apologised because he let them play football in the kitchen while I was out and a drink got knocked over.
    He seemed surprised when I said it was what we did anyway (cushion footballs!) :rotfl:
    Me and DH were running round and throwing the little ones on the sofa last night (big pile of cushions) and we've been known to run round having nerf gun fights before :D
    I may be old outside but I'm definitely still young on the inside :j
    I might have to try the cling film on the pint of beer :think:
    DS and tigercub took all the sofa seats and backs off last week and stacked them in a huge pile. they came to tell me and thought they would get told off. So i went in, pretended to be cross then said "you just have to wait one minute" and did a huge belly flop into them. Their face were a picture. :rotfl:

    There is an amazing poem called "When I am an old woman I shall wear purple". I bought my mum the book as it's her fave...

    When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
    With a red hat which doesn't go and doesn't suit me.
    And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
    And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
    I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
    And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
    And run my stick along the public railings
    And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
    I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
    And pick the flowers in other people's gardens . . .


    But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
    So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
    When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.

    It's AvM. But you must check in your A to see if it is RTC first, then do a HD or a C&C. If you buy instore, then it will charge you the shelf price and you prob wont get an APG

    Morning :wave:

    I'm probably the only one who didn't really rate being that young, my teens were horrible, as were my twenties. Life became much better after turning 30, and stopped caring about stuff that just really doesn't matter but seems so important when you are young. Don't get me wrong, I partied like the best of them, but after years of doing it, it gets rather boring. I wouldn't go back in time for all the money in the world ;)

    I just chuckled out loud then read that to DD and her response was 'can we do that?' :rotfl:
