Oh Nanny that bought back wonderful memories of when I used to visit my gran as a child...
One of the first things I had to do was actually count the "copper" in the jar then we used to go to the bank and change it up into a note...happy memories of lovely summer holidays spent with my gran..
I hope you have a wonderful time over the next few days with the family.

I loooooove counting up coppers and coins into little piles.
I've been teaching DS about saving up for things etc. So we counted out his moneybox on sunday and went to S to buy a toy he's been after for ages. Put the full £13 into SS machine, in 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p denominations:eek::rotfl: Think i gave myself RSI at the end.. but it made him realise it was loads and loads of pennies

Good morning Elite :hello:

BNI Korma and Cheese flatbreads working this am at 9.30am. Got 2 Kormas and 2 Flatbread £6 paid £4.24 back.

.... and another trip to the doc :eek: this is wearing me down still coughing and producing yuk but chest sounds clear and doc has swapped one of my inhalers, so that may now help



Has the doctor considered whopping cough?

:eek: no, that has never been mentioned. I and maybe the doc think it could be the residue from the pneumonia that I've had. I have to go back next week if it doesn't ease up with the new inhaler. Thanks though for bringing that to the fore

The funny thing if my son used to absolutely insist on eating what he had made himself (primary school). He came home with massive loaf of bread he had made and ate it all while he was doing his homework, still ate dinner, absolutely anything he made he insisted on eating alone. He could not understand why he was meant to share when he had made it. Quite funny though, when my DD was too little to eat with us and OH was away once I made his absolute favourite dinner, gave him baked beans on toast and sat down and ate his favourite dinner in front of him. He had a real tantrum, but I told him I had made it so I was going to eat it, he learned his lesson :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Good job this is not recently David. would be getting the childline number out. :rotfl:

Need to go look for a good deal on Euros for dh. No, no plans as yet to go away but you just never know. By Thursday or Friday it may be different

morning all - still cold, no snow

Eldest son came home yesterday after 3 night shifts, persuaded him to catch up on his sleep - nearly 3 before he woke up - they think that they are Duracell bunnies when they are in their 20s but eventually your body craves sleep

Groupon have a nice discount code on their banners this morning 15% off three types of deal, you can do one of each until February 28th - go to Topcashback first and click on the deal from there for another 6% off :j

not that there are many on the list at the mo but you can cobble together enough for a day out or a midweek break etc and keeping within budget.

he is likely to go to travel agent later today and book a last minute holiday like he did a few years back :eek: Went to town one Tuesday morning and came home to tell me we were going to Majorca on holiday for a week, flying out on the Thursday :rotfl::rotfl:

mhoc, how are you getting on with your face cream trial? I noticed one of my containers has a different number printed on the label, will leave that til last or maybe contact them.

not a lot on Shopotize this week so far.

I've downloaded my Fairtrade vouchers including the free tea one and now have to make a list of good enough reasons to do a 20 mile round trip to our nearest waitrose.

so far Ive got

free tea
bread for Shopotize
free takeway coffee

so not enough to warrant the petrol yet.
