    Good morning everybody, I hope you are well and have a fabulous Thursday.

    Happy shopping.
    Mortgage debt 45,000. Thank you all for your help so far in helping me save to buy the house. I could not have done this without all your help.

    Morning All

    Back from hols to a lovely tidy house, thanks to DD. Cupboards are bare!

    Had a lovely time cruising around Italy. DD2 not v keen, as not enough to do for teenagers.

    Returned to sad news that DM has passed away. I thought she would go on for ever..............

    Yes lots of gentle teasing:rotfl:
    That was a one off experience.
    I do my shopping online then return everything. Think N is well on the way with the 3 bargain maxi dresses bought today. I keep telling myself I don't actually need anything except sparkly sandals.
    What I do need are the 4 packs of 72 dishwasher tablets we got from Mr A today. Reduced to clear at £4.50 each. Think it was 6.2p a wash. I believe they were Fairy ones but still in car so don't quote me.
    The red washing up liquid scanned at £1 so still too expensive unless it compares to M.
    And I had been doing so well and only spent £2 plus coffee until new look (if it's going back does it count as a spend?) Oh and minus £38 due to returns in debenhams.

    Little t I was unlucky this morning. 02 took 4 attempts to get sale live then only had standing only tickets available at the London venue:mad: no good when taking a wheelchair user. So try again Friday for general release.

    Off to read back.

    vanilla twist :( sorry you didn't get your tickets. Will keep my fingers crossed for you tomorrow :)

    Good morning :)quick catchup whilst having brekkie as only just got up:eek:and I am on a mission today to clear my Laundry room of all its clutter ;)actually it's all very good household stuff that is far too good to dispose of lamps, curtains,bedding and the like the reason being I have replaced so much of late by visiting my fav LA shop;)so am going to do a Bootie with 2 friends as weather forecast is good at the weekend.
    Ah Nannylala I love LA too. We went to Kendal a few months ago and up a little alley way my DH said oh look there's a Laura Ashley. As the words left his lips he knew his error! I don't normally look at their clothes a tad flouncy for me normally but they had a sale on and it would be rude not to look. Anyway they had wool skirts reduced from £70 down to £20 and I took 8 into the changing rooms and you know what happened.....yep I loved them all! I was stood in the changing room practising........
    "Do you realise what a bargain these are" but then I saw sense and decided on two and when I got to the till she said ha there is another 20% off today so £140 of skirts cost me £32
    Obviously I have deeply regretted not buying them all but heyho!!

    Morning, yes had a great time, thank you. Managed to get the last of the very few parking spaces, surprised it was only £1 for 4 hours as it was a council run one. Need to spend as much time as I can with ds2 as he's off to China for a year next week teaching English at a uni there. Anyone with any tips on things to take etc great fully received:)
    Also if anyone knows of a good deal on an electric toothbrush as he wants one for his birthday also next week.
    Have my dads funeral next Monday, been nursing him at my parents home for 3 weeks, prior to him passing away on the 26 th :(. Hence not seeing much of my son recently. I don't do sympathy so no comments please.
