    Actually, before I go, I rotated my M stores around this time:rotfl:. I quite dislike living in the City I live in:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. The rush hour now seems to be starting at around 4.30 - what's all that about?:huh: - and it still seemed quite busy even when I came back:eek:- now later than I would normally have been, as part of my plan to avoid it all! I was going to hit the rush hour back, so decided to pop off to another M the other direction (not very far away at all), away from all the traffic, and spent an hour there (which was roughly about the time I needed) before it came to after rush hour and good to return!:T:T

    Actually, one of the smaller stores that I vowed never to return to, after being useless on one price collection many months ago - but, in fact, today, the store was very good and allowed me to account for many items that I had outstanding from the first one - either not stocked or pricing in a complete mess - the problem is I don't trust what any of the SELs are saying:rotfl: - not literally "any" but some items now with full price showing but, indeed, they are still on offer and is that still on mbuy or is it not?... - anyway, I only then had a few items to take to my final store!:T (I just can't trust that an mbuy has ended if it has been removed in my first store, as the following two stores both turn out still to be showing it and with an expiry date some way into the future! If I go the 'last' one first next time, it will be the same situation but with different items!)

    I went to the 'small' store (or maybe it's not:think:) after seeing traffic backing up the other way and it being 'horrendous' to get to the main final M and because the small store was the one where I found the Christmas nuts two weeks ago, so wanted to check they were still there - they are not: I still can't say they are completely sold out of M although I suspect, by now, they might be (haven't seen them for a short while now) - similar with the Kipling cakes and M mince pies - haven't seen them for longer (might be in some store that never changed its SEL:rotfl:) but the McVities Temptations slices are still available somewhere (saw them only a couple of days ago). The small store also had an alcohol pack, that was now completely absent from my primary store (no SEL for it either), which I knew was never stocked in my big final main store so I was not going to find it there! They're useless - the main stores don't have the items:rotfl:. And, sure enough, little store came up with the answer (could never have had that had I stuck to my precise usual stores)!:T:T:rotfl:

    Good morning all. Sounds blustery outside, but too dark yet to tell what the day is going to be like.

    Happy Tuesday.

    Good morning all.

    It's very early to be this wide awake but that's what I get for having an early night!

    EBay message to say 'only pay when you sell' now extended to 29.2.16 so it's worth checking your messages.

    Have a brilliant day. I have 2 doors to paint and the skirting to do. But not just yet! x

    Hello :wave:

    Am back home and about to make the biggest mug of proper tea! Was quite lucky that I booked a hotel near Newark airport in advance, although it did cost me $100 to cab it there as nothing was running yesterday public transport wise. Also lucky that my flight to London was the first out since Friday and the ones after mine were delayed.

    Here's some inches for DM's viewing pleasure (resized so it doesn't throw tweets into next week :rotfl: )

    Hope you're all well :)

    Welcome home.
    And well done on a lucky escape, I think.
    I'd have paid $500 or more to get out of that as I don't cope with cold conditions very well. x

    Fab photos PD. Glad you got home safely.

    :wave: MKS good to see you back.

    I'm supposed to be flying home to Heathrow but very tempted to see if I can divert to an airport a bit further up the country so I can pop in to northerngeezer for my dinner (tea), it sounds lush :D
    Good plan fly to Manchester or Liverpool and you can pick me up on the way:rotfl:

    Good morning sounds awful outside. I'm taking my friend out for breakfast this morning and we were going to be good and have a nice walk there, I think that plan has just changed.
  • Morning.....seems mild again today...Off to find out..Catcha all later:cool:
