    Mine says the exact same thing.

    I uploaded to claim the free Coke on Friday, never got an email or anything about it. But when I look at my CS offers it's showing as 0 redemptions, so I'm presuming it has gone through. Will need to watch this space and see what happens

    My herbs still show 10, so must not have gone through, what a hassle, now I know why I have not bothered with it since the free carling days.

    Thank you all for the birthday wishes. I did have a very nice day indeed. The weather here this morning was fantastic and such a change from the last week. We had a walk on the beach, I had a gardening session followed by an amazing dinner cooked by OH and attended by all 4 kids who never seem to be here at the same time anymore.

    You know you've reached the heady heights of the woman who has everything she wants and needs when someone can gift you the Scholl super duper deluxe diamond hard feet skin remover and not run away and hide in case they get crowned with it :D I admit I wanted one and was too tight to pay for it myself.

    The cake has been divided and portions allocated with DS2 precision. God help me if I change my mind and fancy a slice of my own cake :eek:

    Perfect song Elliemoo :D

    Thank you all again :A

    Glad you had a good birthday - a nice home cooked meal - perfect - and getting your clan all together, it makes your heart sing

    December 26th - that is our day when hopefully I will have all of mine together for a few hours :T

    Oh happy birthday!:T:A

    I can't forget - I may even remember next time:D:rotfl::eek::rotfl::rotfl: - gotta get those cake portions exactly identical! - short shop tonight though for me - I'm glad I've managed to find that out before midnight I really am:D - wouldn't want to miss it!;):) - hope you're having a good birthday - and, everyone, I'll see you later:wave:.:A

    I wonder what DS2 bought you. Always a difficulty(:laugh:) thinking of something appropriate to buy - I just haven't got a clue:rotfl::rotfl:!:o It can be fun:D:D:rotfl::cool:. (We end probably just getting the same bland, boring item we always buy, so as to stay safe when, really, something really nice and flashy would be more appropriate. But we just haven't got that flair or daringness or ability to detect any subtle hints so instead we go with the safe but... "that's what you always get me!":(:eek::rotfl:)

    loved reading about your impromptu gathering earlier :D it's those things that make it. I too have drama queen moments when they are all off living their own lives as I've strived for them to do and I have 'what about me' moments :rotfl::rotfl:

    you've raised an impressive brood and the price to pay for that is the lonely moments when they are doing what you set them up to do ;) they don't forget us though and that is nice.

    Happy Birthday FC. Hope your day was filled with love and fun with those you love x
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    Commiserations:rotfl: FC, your birthday is now over! But, I'll let you celebrate all night/early hours this morning. Partying to cease at precisely 6am:D. That's when the normal day runs though isn't it - 6am to 5.59.59am:eek:. I always used to like - later on in my time with my mum and dad - getting up at midnight on the morning of my birthday. Also did that one Christmas too - went downstairs and found all the presents at 00.01 on Christmas morning:D. They tried to get me and my brother to go back to bed:rotfl::rotfl:. One Easter too - we found the eggs in the drinks cabinet about two weeks beforehand. And some of them we scoffed:rotfl::rotfl::eek:. Always been a beggar - those big fingers that take all those chocolate items out and consume them all!:naughty::mad::mad::eek::rotfl:I think we also came down one Christmas and found there weren't yet any presents at all:eek::rotfl::rotfl:! How could he? Santa comes on the stroke of midnight!

    I don't know if I've mentioned this before - I don't think I have actually (I've dreamt of posting this:o but I don't think I actually have...sometimes, dreams and real life...:o:o:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: [merge into one...]) - never know if I'm coming or going - yes, that Advent Calendar I bought, I didn't think it was a moneysaver... but it is proving to be one! Because of the boxes to open on the calendar, they're not actually touching it:T:T:T and are leaving it to each day of December to open! So, I've actually managed to find something they won't eat yet:D:T. It's also managed to ration out each chocolate to one per day:D:D, so I've even found a way to ration that kind of stuff at last - probably have them consuming less and it'll last all the way to Christmas Eve, so it's proving to be quite a good idea and rather that than them taking one big box of chocolate and probably consuming it all in one day:eek::eek::( - so, actually, the chocs, in the calendar, are lasting and therefore in their own way being a bit better of a moneysaver than something that's bought, consumed straight away(:(:mad:) and just has to be bought again. They're not touching the calendar and I've even been able to leave it on open display and not hide it away!:D:T:T:money:

    You can now see, from my opening line, it took me 11 minutes to write this post:rotfl:. I'd better go - I have to get up again later on! Bye!:wave:
