    Bubbs I will have to stop looking at your posts I can not believe I just bought 2 of these and spent £50:eek: on a 9ft one as well, I don't even put a tree up at Christmas not since my DM passed away in 2007. Wonder what OH is going to say when they are delivered :eek:

    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.

    Found kfc receipt , code acquired, thankyou:T:T

    jolly good :)

    I don't know if they still do them but on coffee cups there use to be a token - you collected 6 for a free coffee

    Also in some kfc they have these loyalty cards you get them stamped and you then get rewards ie free side order, a snack or £5 off depending on the amount of stamps you collect.

    Loyalty cards are called The Colonels Club

    I think that one might have fallen in my basket , I've seen it in real life and is lovely and :o To say I was tempted when it was half price but couldn't justify it :)
