    Hello Bubbs :wave: I've missed you!
    Not going to bad, my instructor says I'm doing pretty well :) and my last lesson wasn't as bad as I thought it would be (I'd worried myself sick beforehand) so hopefully I'm slowly getting there :)

    Bless you, I'm glad its going well. :)

    Afternoon paw sniffers:D

    So pleased that lots of you have been getting the Coke. Not one for me but I've enjoyed listening to all your adventures:T

    Isn't it freezing?

    Had a bumper shopping day today.
    Started off in M&S and got all the nightwear stuff with 20% off. The offer was already loaded onto my Sparks card. A lot of the smaller sizes were unavailable do I ordered them to collect next week.......still getting the 20% :T

    I'd loaded the 20% off coffees in the cafe onto my sparks card last night but it didn't show on the receipt. Queues were everywhere and I couldn't be bothered to mention it.

    Used my £5 off wys £30 in the foodhall. Got tins of biscuits and other bits. It wasn't till I got to Costa that I spotted the Mail and realised there's a £5 off wys £35. But might not have worked together.
    Lots of yummy food to sample:T

    Collected wrinkle cream from Boots:o:rotfl:

    Then off to S. Successfully swapped points for vouchers. Everything went through the till at £112.40. SA accepted 15 vouchers......cidre, porridge, muesli etc and I ended up paying just over £8 in cash.
    With the bonus points......including 400 on wines and sloppy...I got the whole lot for a couple of pounds:T

    Picked up another handful of till spits in S today. It's my last £4.50 off wys £30 next week and then I'm going to have to wean myself off this nectar malarky:rotfl:
    Thankfully I've had lots of coupons and a BM every week to use but wouldn't like to think I was spending £30 a week in S:eek:
