    Dgd nativity tomorrow but she is a snow flake so I doubt it will be much

    about Joseph and Mary ..... Although I am not a practicing Christian church

    goer. Apart from weddings funerals and christenings ...it would be nice if we

    could celebrate Christmas in a time served traditional way with no room at

    the Inn and Away in a manger song drifting round the hall from the cutest

    little 4. year olds ever ....Pantomine next week looking forward to that as

    I am a helper ..how I don't know it will be Dgd taking care of me instead of

    the other way round ...When her daddy came to pick her up she said to him

    like I am not there ?..Don't ask her Daddy because she has been forgetting

    things again today ... you need to put it on a note for Gwandma....kids don't

    you just love their honesty

    What a lovely post perky you have made me :rotfl: :rotfl: but yes, we love their honesty. I've got a Nativity to go to next week, one dgd is a shepherd, the other is an angel (whoever cast them got that soooo wrong :rotfl: the roles should be reversed :eek:) :rotfl:

    Beeb watching the Royal Variety show, Jeff Lynne still has a great voice. Jack Whitehall has been so funny :rotfl:

    Hope everyone well this evening, I keep thinking that I must be the only one that hasn't done all the Christmas present shopping as I seem to have Buddha all for folk :rotfl::rotfl: Almost made final choice for Christmas food so then have to do my list :)

    don't laugh, but I've just found out today how to send lives on cc :o sometimes a screen pops up for lives to be sent but I mean how to send when I want to :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    I guess I've missed all of bubbs bargains tonight, phew :cool: :rotfl:
    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.

    Not necessarily an issue TS, it goes by household income :)

    From what I saw mentioned before would still be under. :o

    Lloyds Choice Rewards comes with an Am3x and a Mastercard. £24 annual fee, £12 refunded if you have a Club Lloyds. Mentions regular income required but doesn't indicate minimum salary that I can see.

    https://www.lloydsbank.com/credit-cards/choice-rewards.asp

    Obviously would need to look into it further and this is not financial advice - just saying other routes to an Am3x. I have a Barclaycard with Am3x and Visa but cannot find a link - I don't pay an annual fee.

    Worth checking if any Cashback deals around for sign ups too.

    Household income requirement for Gold is £20K though they don't check too closely, a good credit score would be fine provided stated income is over £20K.

    Since Mr TS lost half his job couple years ago household income has been under that.

    Even with interest from my savings we haven't gone over this year.

    But all is good as we don't have a mortgage and try and keep necessary outgoings low so it's not a problem.

    If worse came to worse I would just have to stop buying Bubbs bargains. :rotfl:

    So my plan has been narrowed to 5-6 stores with around 40 redemptions in addition to current ones.

    Don't have enough space for too much meat etc So roughly doing the following:

    Onestop (8x) (1st town) -£5 bottle of Hardys wine, nice round number = £2.50 bottle
    Onestop (8x) (2nd town)As above
    Delicatessen (8x, over 2 weeks) - Stock up on general food stuff,s probably save 30% over asda/tesco as prices will be higher than a supermarket
    Butchers - (5 to 8x) -Freeze some good meat for xmas :)
    Phamarcy - Stock up on kids ibprofen, nose sprays etc (prob 4x).


    So a fair few - The best ones are the corner shops where you get a good food deal, butchers is harder to stash too much as need freezer/fridge space.

    Hi bubbs, the last time I saw him live was at Portman Road (Ipswich for those who don't know their footie grounds :rotfl:) tickets cost £53 and that was in 2004 :eek: concert was great though.
    The first time I saw him was in the 1970s and it cost zilch in a pub in London, can't remember which one though :rotfl:
