    I got something stranger to say now you have posted the above.
    Was it in a white jiffy bag when it was delivered and needed signing for please with nothing to say who it was from ?

    I am saying this because I received the above last month and it was addressed to my address but name wasn't mine nor Poppy's .

    Postie had left it in my secure place .

    Inside was the above CD. If you say yes to my question it solves me wondering where it had appeared from :T
    I offered it DS when he came visiting and he didn't want it so I am stuck with it lol :)


    It came in a brown hand written jiffy bag, not signed for but franked with £3 postage from liverpool and saying Halewood International on the franking hth xxx

    oh and surname spelt wrong ha ha x

    so my OH is in the dog house.
    I did ask him yesterday if there was any chance of him finishing in good time today as I had a mass of shopping to do (actually about 15 different shops on my To Do) list
    My theory being that if I did manage to get him away from work then we could also have a nice lunch out first, a few places locally on the Amex local shop list. and then tackle the shopping
    so off he went at 7 as usual and then strolled into the house at 3 - completely baffled as to why I am so mad at him :mad:

    so when I finished chewing his ear off - the roads around here are desperate around school time and it was far too late for lunch - we did eventually set off for town. By the time we got out of Aldi and into town it was 4.15 and dark, hate going out in the dark.

    needless to say a huge long queue in the post office but I managed to get to Superdrug and Home Bargains so 4 things off the list so at least its a start - I really wanted to do the entire list in one long sweep.

    I asked him about the garage on the way home and he said he had forgotten it was supposed to be today for taking sons car in for a tyre change, garage had rung him to remind him but it was too late :mad:

    I have no idea why I am disappointed or even surprised by this as its par for the course - yes there is always the weekend but then its not our anniversary at the weekend, its today
    yes I could take myself out for lunch but then that's not exactly much fun
    and yes I could have tackled most of the shopping myself today if I was still driving and yes that's my own fault that I am not

    at least I got the wrapping done and the Amazon parcel came

    oh dear mhoc, I don't know where to start or what to say :eek: Happy Anniversary anyway :)
    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.

    Hello there, long time no see. How are you doing?

    I wish I had a local here but I don't boohoo. Mind you I like my coffee strong :)

    Home Bargains this afternoon had some very lovely snowman stationary tins for about £3 and notepads for £1.19 - like these

    The tins did not have much in them so I think you might need to add a few bits but the tins were gorgeous. I was very tempted - I have an unnatural obsession with tins.
    the notebooks were separate on the pens and pencil section
    very pretty, these wont be around for very long

    I also got the last Thorntons classics summer favourites £1.99 for 196g and some boxed Turkish delight

    also Sirco orange and pomegranate juice for 29p - short dated but I don't imagine that it will turn to acid on the stroke of January 1st :rotfl:
    usually about £2 in sainsbobs
