    Does anyone else feel like the mangoes are trying to conmunicate with them? Or is it just me?

  • Mrs Stinky, your Pandora link has made me want to buy Reindeer girl a present!!

    FC, enjoy you meal...... ps I am could be free!!!!


    Naebbirac, I am really impressed by your mother's strength of character. It must have taken such courage to stand up to D's relatives.

    The funeral is a celebration to say goodbye to D and celebrate the man that you clearly loved, and say goodbye to his relatives (and celebrate saying goodbye) x

    House Elf, good look with the probate. My BIL decided to take charge of this when Dad died. It took ages to be resolved, and I was later told that the paperwork kept being returned as 'they wanted more information.' I rang them, and they were really helpful, I filled out new paperwork as they told me to, and sent it off.... completed with no problems.

    I brought the code over on Thursday night, and signed up as you were meant to get a code for free delivery for the wine, but it still has not arrived, and I wanted it for the standard reds, but they went out of stock. Im not bothered now, as the better reds are in stock, and I have always been happy with those.
    I wasnt overly impressed with my fizz box, value of about £80, so very poor in my eyes, I always like to aim for double, but hey ho.
    Cant find any codes on line for the wine, so will have to just bite the bullet and order the £60 one without,
    morning all, wet here :)

    Aww, that's a shame about the fizz. What did you get?

    For those ordering wine, don't forget quidc/TCB. If anyone is collecting the silver coins on Quidc, this counts as one of the retailers.
    I've not been making a concentrated effort to collect these but have had a few Ts direct orders lately mostly for back to school stuff along with a couple of orders from other places for stuff I need to buy anyway. I've only got one more coin to collect to get my £10 :D :money:

    incase anyone is tempted on the mr !!!!!! mystery wine shop this morning there is still sparkling and standard reds £5 a bottle

    I had a look in Morriblbs last night for the wine with extra points but our store does not seem to stock it :mad:

    not doing very well am I - most of my Boots order out of stock, cant find the Morribbos wine, probably going to get my lovely pendant cancelled and have to choose something for a fiver instead, stuck in the house this weekend with very badly itching feet ...

    We have had both and in my opinion the £5 a bottle are a much better standard I wouldn't get the £4 again ......unless we were desperate:rotfl:

    Yes we must have a list. :beer:

    I woke up early this morning for me, think the week of getting up 2 hours earlier than at home is to blame. Kept thinking when it got to 10pm last night why was I so tired.
