Just wanted to pop on and say that I feel for you.
It's true that ultimately they are the ones missing out on a relationship with your kids.
Hugs (())

Many years ago my when my late mam asked me to do yet another job for her I for once said no:o and told her that with a full time job and a son I didn't have time to do my own jobs, let alone hers.
I reminded her that she had my nana and various assorted people who did her housework for her (she did care for my dad who had MS and that meant he continued to work).
Anyway, she thought about this so one day she would come to 'help'!
I picked her up - then she would have coffee (and you have to have something to eat with it!)
She would iron - she never could ress trousers - dad's went to the cleaners, delicates, no way, burnt in no time, shirts, only just! By the end of the day I had beautifully ironed tea towels though and every available surface in the house covered with laundry, and had to make her lunch and dinner!

She was a lovely mam though and doted on our son who could sleep over there whenever he/we wanted.

It's not my pics sending us next door is it? If it is I'll remove them but I think we were already stretched before I posted them?

It cost over £50.00, not something that I could afford to buy again at that cost.



It may be repairable, not sure on how you would replace the handles on a cath kidston bag though, may have to look into it.

Oh im sorry but if you know a machinist they should be able to fix that

I have
paid-homebase,markies,boots,Halfords,Matalan,the works,
tracked-rakuten,topman,groupon,avon,starbucks
confirmed - whittards,the book people,


some not due to change up to may eek

I have 11 confirmed and pending payment this week (they total about £120 original spend) and 3 tracked so just waiting on any one of the last 3 to go confirmed and my £50 should unlock

I get the feeling it's not going to be as automatic as they made out though so I'll be dropping them a line as soon as number 12 pays out

By the way, not sure if it has been mentioned but KFC are doing 9 pieces of chicken for £5.99 on Tuesdays to celebrate their 50th Anniversary. That's DD2's (and mine ) half term treat sorted :beer:

It's not all stores - we have two and only one is doing it. Doesn't include fries. Get an extra 10% off if use an old receipt to do an online survey before

I thought it was 20%

If it is like the ochards, then yes, it grows out. You can do it yourself with flowers by putting food dye in their water I believe.
