BOB'S pot being blacker than her kettle

  • Today, i had great fun...yes, i know it was it was only a £15 voucher but it was free money:j:money:

    So logged onto my supermarket and put in my shopping list to get bestest value-then did a comparison as well. :money: Carefully plotted my way round Morrisons with voucher and list in my hot sweaty hands :D :rotfl: Spent £40 but paid £25:D:D:D:j

    The comparison showed that Aldi also had some offers on, so as it was on my way back i popped in there and bought the bits i couldn't buy in Morrisons for £5:D Which was the difference..cupboards full and a gammon joint on to make sandwiches..Slow cooker-the smell is driving me crazy:rotfl:

    Council also came up trumps with their new online chat facility. Query answered, sorted and pick up arranged for DD2's old diabetic medication for tomorrow morning:T That is service for you:D

    DD2 also had a check in today with dietitian for her diabetic hypo's so is carb counting again..all very good:D

    Off to plan all the lovely things i can make with my bargains...best bargain though was strong white flour for 45p in Aldi...mmm HM bread....slurp.

  • Can report a serious amount of NSD's as sat at home with a frozen shoulder. Apparently i have been holding myself funny due to vertigo or it may be viral related, or i am falling to bits...haven't decided which it is yet.:cool:

    Doc gave me lots of yummy medication to help. So far i have had a headache and stomach ache..:o

    Folk have stressed me out and feeling fed up with everything as you do.

    Hey ho.

    Challenges are going good though-:T

    On the make a tenner a day challenge i am upto £40 :D

    I have a video interview for a company who has been chasing me *silently screams* as not ever done one of those before. Apparently you have to dress as if it is a proper interview..*drat will have to brush my hair*:money:

    So that is my news so far.

    NSDs? Have you not heard of internet shopping? ;)

    Funny enough that small children imitate you.
    or it may be viral related,

    "A virus" just means they don't what's wrong with you. Computer people used to say the same thing for the same reasons about 10 years ago, but mockery drove it out of fashion. It's unfair that medical people can still use it though.
    or i am falling to bits...haven't decided which it is yet.:cool:

    I blame most stuff on falling to bits...
    Doc gave me lots of yummy medication to help. So far i have had a headache and stomach ache..:o

    I've had medication like that before, it was called "booze"...
    Folk have stressed me out

    Oh? Which folks are these?
    and feeling fed up with everything as you do.

    As you do. :grouphug:

  • Think it will be a bit like Will Ferrell :D

    Thanks for good wishes, a laugh at thoughts of children imitating me ( i think the hunch back of Notre Dame would be a good bet) and a hug or two, sorely needed today.

    So long as it isn't little blue pills, you should be fine.
    but voltarol is a good friend to me at the minute :D

    Does he have a nose? Is he related to Voldemort?

    So now you know which "celebrities" have bought new underwear this week...
    Yes, which is supposed to be linked to the shopping list..but Mr.B doesn't read those very well as he adds extra

    Men can't win over this. I used to get grief for only buying stuff on the list...
    Basically sticking to Slimming world diet and using recipes on here to make meals. 9lbs and counting

    That's good - probably something I need to do, when I get beaten to a pulp by the "Organised" stick...

    How are you?:A

    Same as usual alas. Never mind, I shall prevail... :T:T:T

    Good to hear from you.

  • Pleased to report the old shoulder is calming down. Funny thing pain, you don't realize how much it hurts until it stops :D

    Need to work out a few things budget wise and look at where we are on the shopping front ( Mr.B takes advantage when i don't shop to add extras)

    But on the whole things are looking up. :D
