    I hope your wrong but it's something they will alway remember going to wembly with their dad:cool:

    When I took my DD2 to Wembley, many years ago, she wanted a Hot Dog. The caterer refused to sell one when she knew it was for a 10 year old, because of all of the additives. She did say that she'd wilingly sell one to an adult. :eek::eek::eek:

    nerfy, what's your measure of a good wife? Doesn't drink, eat your meat (no misinterpretation please) but will happily drive you home?

    It's a good start!!;)

    I quite like being sober enough to remember all the silly things OH does after a tipple too many...climbing in the bath naked and falling asleep - no water:eek: Crashing on the bathroom floor so no one could go for a widdle without climbing over him:eek: Only 2 times he has been really drunk in 15 years but me and the kids do like to remind him :rotfl::beer:

    There are too many tales to sell of my oh in his drinking days but 2 stand out. Every year there is a horse fair in a nearby village where i used to work in the pub. OH came to the fair and had a few too many. Mum was babysitting and he went to the local pub on the way home. Mum said to the kids late on she was hungry and my son ( who was about 10 at the time) went to look outside for his Dad ( not realising he was already home) and there on the step was a chinese meal in a bag. Mum and the kids ate and enjoyed it but my hubbys face was a picture when he got up in the morning as he could not remember eating it ( which he didnt).
    Another time he slipped on the bathroom floor and fell into the bath and cracked his head. I was in bed and one of the kids called me to say Dads fallen over. I just shouted down " Oh he'll be ok!"

    We can laugh about it now that he has not had a drink for 6.5 years!!

    Have you managed to stick to your budget. I am way above that in 2 weeks But will keep trying

    I have spent less that £10, in fact I think it is £5+, but I bought some milk today and there was only £2 in my purse.

    OH had mugged me!

    DS still talks about when he went to Wembly with his dad about 10 years ago :D

    Could have phrased that a bit better. :o

    Out of interest, why don't the Syrup Sponge puddings compare to A? I have A CBY Syrup Sponge Puddings (2x120g = 240g) at £1.29 each, so that should be compared to as it's within the weight range and should be to straight £2.58. Or maybe that is a different level of item? :think:Maybe it's too new for T to pick it up? (But really that does give a lie to 'you won't lose out' or else a disclaimer exemption in the T&Cs which gets them out of their headline "promise":p.)

    I have Morries and Sains. at 2x110g, which is just outside of the 10% weight range and therefore N/A.

    If that's all it takes I'm his ideal wife.
    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    sorry nerfy, it's a fail on all 3 counts here :rotfl:

    No matter what Nerfy says, we all know that his wife is the boss in his house!!

    I had to re-fill my form in after the same thing happened to me. Didn't hear anything for a week.

    I waited until I got my debit cards and did it again. Got a text that same day confirming it was all happening but it took longer than it should have.
    I already had my debit card when I filled mine. What r they playing at :mad:
