I am staying. :silenced: :rotfl:

It is all down to priorities. I have not worked since DD1 was one unless you include running a toddler group twice a week for few years, that was voluntary with minimal expenses paid. It is surprising how little you can manage on if you put your mind to it. But it's not everyone's idea of fun.

We made a conscious decision for me not to work and stay at home with the girls rather than let someone else look after them for us. We decided our time was far more precious than what money could buy. I made bargain hunting my part time job long before MSE!

Didn't plan on being out of the work place for so long but life happens. I wouldn't change a thing but do feel I have been very privileged to have a partner to support me, in fact I earned more than Mr TS when I met him so it was not an easy decision.

I/we have no regrets, the girls moaned occasionally they never went abroad had the latest phone etc but I think they respect the choices that were made.

I have nothing against it all. It just wasn't for me. Id have hated staying at home. We are all different

Party at yours then :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

You'll have to share some fizz with me though. I wouldn't touch any of that stuff :rotfl:

Just remembered I saw a bloke buying 40 bottles of Lambrini in Ts today :eek: he asked the guy stocking the shelves for 8 more bottles as there was only 32 on the shelf :cool:

Of course I would share my fizz. Not sure I want to touch any of it either. :rotfl:

40 bottles of Lambrini wow he is in for a good night. :eek:

I thought the same but in reality those that read between the lines can see what is going on/has gone on in the past.
Dont get me wrong in the past I thought he was a trouble causing knob now from what I have seen maybe I was wrong

I think you misunderstand.
I meant that the quote says all we need to know about the FB group The FB group are clique-y and choose who gets invited to the circle. If there's nothing on they " like to play with locarr". Read - stir things up then disappear and watch what ensues. I seem to remember observing similar behaviour in the playground and it was called bullying there.
Whatever you want to call what happens here, when the "gang" appear on the thread it's disruptive.


I see you've edited your post since I quoted. FWIW, I agree with you about Locarr - just don't tell him I said so.

Glad to see you back LFAB. Hope you had a good time. Me and DD are sneakily trying to decant today's purchases from the boot of the car :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

She's just said 'are you really going to give Dad that bar of chocolate as a present?' :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: so funny. That's the thing I bought him to keep his nose out of the car

(I will buy him a real present in due course :A )

I sure did, had the best few days Now feeling a whole lot more relaxed. Plus I think it's been a bit of an eye opener for OH which can only be a good thing :cool:

:T:T:T on your shopping trip, sounds like you had a ball and it's well deserved :beer:

Evening all

Sorry for being Mia - uni has now started and my time is not my own and my head is battered
Hope all are well I have been playing with Morries new match and more - this is prob all old news for you but this is what I did today
Today's match and more game

More bonus points instore than on the app including - create your own pizza 14" - bananas - Morries hot pies - new potatoes - condensed milk (£1.12. Pts 100)and Morries rice pudding

Anyway
Buy 1 item to collect the vouchers
Bought grants whisky - £17.49 less £5 voucher - this created almost £10 worth of points
2nd shop 3 robinsons squash and 1 comfort - all bonus pointers and cheaper elsewhere also created £8.86 worth of points for tomorrow

So along with the spare points from yesterday's test shops I now have £20 worth of vouchers to play this game

Important info
You can def only add 2 receipts per 2 week period - just tested this !!!
And you can use more than 1 voucher per shop
Whoopsies also create bonus pts but are a negative if doing a price check shop

Enjoy

I have been playing too ,got the Grants and other lucrative stuff , the best deals are when it is cheaper elsewhere and extra more points ,I am now stocked up with wash powder and conditioner.
Problem is our store has a technical problem and the tills are not giving out the vouchers ,it's been over a week now and I am owed quite a few :T Waiting for them to sort that before I do any more
Better for me as well as I have a discount card so get 10% and full comparison and it was 20% for 3 days this week.

Exactly one persons priorities are totally different to another persons, we are all unique, how we feel and react to what life throws at us. Anyone can only do what they feel is right for them.

DD1 is going through the process now of deciding whether to go back to work, the time is fast approaching. :eek:

Nope, but may well be in the next few hours, I try to take my Mum out on a Sunday and was thinking about Snecky.
Not been shopping, or bargain hunting at all the past month, but I'm back and raring to go as soon as I find what's going on with the cif and all the cleaning stuff.
