    Good afternoon:wave:

    Dark grey and miserable here but the bedding is on the line at last now it's stopped raining. Annoying thing is I checked the weather and it didn't mention rain today hence washing all the bedding!!


    I've totally emptied my wardrobe today... Wow didn't know it could hold that much carp!!:o so I've been very good and reorganised it. I've a pile for the charity shop and a pile for recycling. Also found loads of stuff for the school fair... Shame that was last week:(. So they gone in a box for the Christmas one.

    It's a job I've been meaning to do for ages and its annoyed me that i haven't had the time so I'm slightly pleased with myself today;)

    Has anyone had their Argos towels delivered yet? Please and Thankyou It's nearly 2 weeks and when I log into my account to track it says unable to!!

    OMG - I don't think I would ever have the time or energy to empty the entire wardrobe out - actually 2 double wardrobes and one for long dresses.
    The best I can do is one section at a time.
    Mind you if I boxed things up for recycling or ebaying then the wardrobes would be virtually empty, very few things actually fit.
    I really ought to give up on summer skirts - I don't have a waistline anymore and I can never figure out what tops go with anything
    maxi dresses and shift dresses and sandals, I could wear these all of the time if we got more than a few days of summer at a time ..,

    I wouldn't have got away with that. :o

    Would have hoped for something a bit extra special in that box DM but maybe your bottles were not so dirty as mine, I think I just about got a better deal for £48.

    2 x Finest Cotes Cantalanes Grenache £6.99
    Chateau Grand Bouchon £12
    56 Hundred Pinot Noir £7.99
    Finest Crozes Hermitage £9.99
    Jacobs Creek Classic Shiraz £4.99
    Pearl Mountains Pinotage £14
    Cabernet Sauvignon Stellenbosch Reserve £14
    Terperberg 1870 Moscato £7ish (could only find average price)
    South Point Shiraz £10
    Tavernello Vino Rosso £3.49 (the weakest link!)
    And a Vintage 2003 Domaine d'Idernes Madrian but last price I could find was £6.22 as it went to clearance.

    Total £103.66

    I've been very good in resisting the mystery wines this time - partly because I still think £4 is a bit much unless there are points on offer.
    Also we had 2 of my NZ wines I've been saving and the taste was not brilliant - we are still alive anyway so it was probably me - but it made me think we ought to be drinking the stock down a bit - everything I have left is in the over a tenner category so not the cheap and cheerfuls

    Had enough gaps in my wine rack to fill by getting just one box and as it is MR TS's 50th later this year I thought would give it a go, but you definitely couldn't gift any of these the bottles were a right mess. But I am happy with the selection for £4 bottle being delivered to my door. ;)

    I did use the wine free delivery code that I got with the delivery saver a lot of us got free last year. :D

    Can I draw everyone's attention to MSE's twitter just in case they miss it. >>>>>>>>>

    They have had reports of a fake site and asking everyone to check the URL before they log in.

    Afternoon all :)

    VT

    The art work is very good :) I love paintings my friend was an artist he is no longer with us.

    He did a watercolour for me at Christmas. Its my most treasured possession. :)

    Lenovo tablet turned up well happy with it :D

    Showed my friend who is a computer repair technician. He said a replacement screen for the tab would cost more than I paid for the device. And its a bargain at £39 after cash back.

    So we ordered another two one for his daughter and one for OH. Had to telephone very to confirm Account details before orders were processed for dispatch :eek: They said how many people live with you and have applied :eek: :rotfl:

    All above board :o funny as we applied in almost every family members name and there are quite a few of us :rotfl:

    The guy on the phone was laughing as there is nothing wrong with taking full advantage of a promotion if its legit :D

    Don't know if its just coincidence or luck. When uploading the walkers codes I did the first 15 to 20 one after another. Only had about 4 winners got cheesed of as repetitive.

    Did the reaming 20 or so after 11pm in two batches and had a win almost every time-six in succession.

    Off wombling and to get some toby.:)

    Len the Lenovo arrived at 9 this morning and OH is very happy playing with it
    - as I though he would he has ordered a case, screen protector and micro card costing over £30 :mad:
    Some people just do not understand being MSE
    - OK all things he/it does need and in theory if it stops the constant wittering about how rubbish the old laptop is and how impractical the kindle is now then maybe its worth a quite life.

    I though June 25th was the last day you could purchase it for the cashback?
