    Hello lovelies, here are my five for the day!

    1 - Breakfast in bed courtesy of DH, yellow stickered ready made pancakes with HM jam YUMMY! And a nice cup of tea

    2 - I made a gorgeous face cream at the cosmetics class this morning, with essential oils of frankincense, lavender, patchouli and myrrh (very good for ageing skins and lovely smelling!)

    3 - I met with my friend in the shopping centre and after doing a bit of shopping we treated ourselves to a cup of tea and a long natter in the cafe.

    4 - Back home, I found a nice hot HM veg soup, again courtesy of DH (isn't he a treasure?)

    5 - Planning to spend the evening with DH and cook him something nice to say thank you for his loveliness.

    Good night all!

    Finally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).

    Hi Reverbe,

    I hope you get it after I send it back on monday - did you mark it as high priority on your list? Maybe they sent it to me as it was my first one and they want to keep me in the club? Well I don't think i will stay, might just try and move around and get a few ones sent out by different companies!:rotfl:

    Yeah its been high priority since before it was even released... I have noticed that what they do tend to do is when it is coming up to your billing date they will send you top titles and high priority ones that you have been waiting to see for a while or brand new releases you have bookmarked seemingly as a kinda... look at what you can get from us for only £X .. LOL I full intend to plunder both Tesco and Blockbuster and will just take the titles I wanna see and I have left over to those companies.

    Anyone know any more free trial sites?
