I had a very over large expensive floral display delivered this morning from eldest son who is on the other side of the planet with his mate on holiday - they went yesterday - I am more used to him being away than being home.

Eldest child send a card and rang this morning which was nice - I am actually on the point of a serious falling out with her but I am holding it in check in the hope that the storm will pass without my intervention.

Youngest child is mountain biking somewhere in wales and we had a one line message from him yesterday

so there is just myself and my OH today but I have planned a very exciting week for us :T

Hi all.

Just to say I popped into a Poundstretcher today as I was passing, and they had kilo bags of Tate & Lyle sugar for 49p. I think there was a limit of 6 per person, but I didn't get so many as we don't use a lot of sugar.

Mhoc, your kids sound super adventurous. I'm jealous.

Well Mother's Day has been kind to me today. Not one, but two pieces of silverware

Just been through the minefield that is broadband packages.

Wow!

Lessons Learned.

It's cheaper to get Broadband + a phone line, than broadband on its own.

Different comparison websites get different deals for example, Virgin who I chose had the following packages available...

USwitch - 12 month contract - £4 for first 8 months then £17.50 for the remaining 4 months + £16.99 line rental.

Broadband Choices - 18 month contract - £4 for first 12 months then £17.50 for the remaining 6 months + £16.99 line rental.

Different contract lengths, same package, same average monthly cost.

The monthly average was increased on Quidco and Compare The Market.

£25.49 a month on average for upto 50mb broadband, and unlimited weekend calls to landlines (Which I will never, ever use) with free installation and a £50 giftcard. Pretty pleased with that.

firstly I think mums day is really for remembering our own mums, sadly long gone but still missed - both mine and my m-I-l were demanding, overbearing, opinionated etc and they drove us demented when they were alive but that is not to say we did not love them all the same

I think the main problem is that we were not around when our parents were actually at their very best - we only got to know them in their later years - they were probably lovely adorable people in their teens and twenties

Good grief :eek: thank goodness my less than well behaved lately DD didn't know me in my teens and 20s. She'd be calling me a raging hypocrite :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Can't work out if girls are more trouble than boys, or if it's middle child syndrome :cool: or maybe both?

Here are a few photos from my Peckforton Castle trip. It was on an Amazon deal of £125 for 1 nights stay for 2 with breakfast and dinner. Sadly sold out now so no point me posting the link I'd definitely go again if I could get another deal as it was amazing and the best thing about it was that a lot of the time there was no on else around so it often seemed we had the place to ourselves :cool:

N6GCH - I went with Fuel broadband for £15 a month (BB and PL) for 12 months. I don't know about the speed though, we are right at the end of our exchange so we always have slow speeds.
