    I was once waiting for my delivery desperate for a cuppa with no milk or tea bags when the van pulled up outside but went to my neighbour:(
    10 minutes later a different van came with mine. They must waste lots of fuel and man hrs driving around.
    Just turned up. Half 45 mins late. :mad: Was only the regular C&C bloke who can chat for england :mad: He apologised for being late and I said too much chatting Baz lol. He said, no I only chat to you. Yeah right. :D
    Got UDI too. Oh well I do like them (I keep telling myself lol)

    Confused by the eggs! If going down to £1.50 tom doesn't this make them even cheaper, if using the thorntons smile trigger?

    Also would it show new prices for a HD shop tommorow night?
    We're just happy to have a home, a family and our health. Whatever else is just added and it fits. :)

    Good Afternoon Nannylala :A

    Hope it stays nice and sunny for you.

    I haven't got the foggiest what to buy mum for Mothers Day :(

    10 ways sent me a huge update this morning with a vast list of things suitable for Mothers day - I was very impressed - they must have had huge numbers of researchers compiling this list - and looking at their Facebook page there seems to be loads of useful things.

    having said that though not one item would have suited either my mother or my mother -in -law when they were alive so we will take flowers to the graves instead this weekend

    I am impressed, I did the same this morning but all I found was 4 out of date cereal boxes - bird food now and 2 empty shelves where my stashes used to be.
    Ronnie our black cat was very interested in helping me but I think he mistook my re- arranging wine boxes for looking for new cat food for him :rotfl:
    Cat food stash is minimal but I did though find some drink now red wine and 3 bottles of white New Zealand and managed to shuffle enough bottles around to actually empty one box out :j

    (needless to say I had 2 boxes of !!!!!! mystery white in my online basket but didn't go to checkout as I had no code to go with them. Next day I got a points code in a mailing and the wine was out of stock :mad: - but at least Ive made a space now and I can justify it when and if :) )
