    don't you know what it does to a woman talking about her wrinkles HOURS before she is facing 45 head on??

    Happy birthday, FC:beer:

    At least you are facing 45 from the right direction:)

    It certainly is. :(

    DD1 had said back in the summer she was coming to stay, they were going to book a hotel, like a premier inn and see both sets of parents on the day.

    I said would it not be bit weird Teeny's first xmas in a hotel room so guess I sowed a seed. I suggested why didn't they do like we did last year and open presents at home in the morning and then travel while we have xmas dinner on the go. (we took dinner there to cook last year!)

    But it has backfired and minds have been changed. :(

    It won't be the same I found it hard enough last year without mum, Mr TS just tells her I will get over the upset of her not coming but I won't. It will always be there, moist eyes writing this. :o

    Oh TS that is so sad for you if you have been planning it I am lucky that my DIL insists that one year is her mum's the next me but I get to see them in the morning. ((hugs))
  • Thanks. Yes there is another £3 off in the back of the mag that I am hoping will work ok.
    I will have a go with the 2 x £3 non finest ones in a bit. x


    they are the same barcode so i would think it unlikely.so cross with myself,i`ve still got one soup voucher that expires today,i could of used t.he one out of the mag as well and i forgot.doh!!:o
  • Going away from cheese I have had a play and can get the following deals. 4 lurpak spreadable, after multis £8 to pay, less 2x £3 dairy moc, works out 50p a tub. Also finest ready rolled pastry x8, after multis £12 to pay, less 2x £3 dairy moc less 2 x £2 funest dairy moc, works out 25p a pack. I have not tried instore as no mags yet, and not collecting orders till tomorrow, but looks good to go.
    £2015 in 2015 (Although actual goal is £10 a day)

    I am #cheeseless too but by choice

    Don't like cheese

    No cheese gromit?:eek:

    OK, well how about eggs, milk, cream, yoghurts, butter/spreads?

    Online I am getting £11 of mocs accepted against a single £1.60 pack of Jus-roll puff pastry sheet as this is classed as dairy. There will be loads of other stuff, just need to bank the codes and experiment a bit :D

    I've only just gotten around to trying out the cheese and I'm getting the same. I think this wasn't meant to be!

    Keep fiddling with the cheese EMMAP, I could only get 2 codes to work yesterday until I put 4 of the same cheeses in my basket of the Ts mature 2 for £5.
    I did also manage to get it to work with 3 each of Anchor mature and extra mature but that would mean paying £2 for your 6 blocks. ;)

    Oh no, a cheeseless Em would be too dire to contemplate:eek:
    Take TS's advice and get fiddling:)

    This has upset me and I've not even read back on cheerys news yet.
    Big hugs TS, Savy Sal, QoC, SSM
    Hope your all ok xx
    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.
