    Rhosynbach would you like us to help you find a dress? :)

    All we need is how tall you are, a rough size guide and your skin tone :)

    Congratulations Enterprise x

    We had thought it was our 30th (as we never married we celebrate when we met) this month, we were planning something special and then I realised it is only 29!





    ............ but the positive is was that I realised I was a year younger than I thought!!

    :D:D:D:D

    :rotfl: sorry but that so made me laugh xx

    I am feeling like a right wuss with my moaning now that I know you and tweets have been putting up with this much longer than me. :o

    Hope you both feel better soon. :A

    I think the problem is I was rather naughty and never went back for my "healthy" check after my bronchitis last summer. :o When it started Friday I sounded like an engine I was really out of it with temperature too. I should have gone back before now when I was ok, it has actually frightened me so I am definitely booking in for the check with the nurse. Thankfully I still had some steroid inhaler left which has helped loads.

    gosh...you certainly aren't a wuss, I have never had bronchitis but to then have the inhaler to keep it in check shows that you had a bad dose last year - that is going to be your weak point so when you get a chill/cold you will sound like an engine. All mine is a nasty cold and cough but I don't like it...hope you are on the mend x

    It worked. (After all that unnecessary kerfuffle:rotfl:.)

    I did two separate transactions, and my petrol guage is now at full.

    I got...

    500 bonus points from the first, and 200 from the second.
    So, £3.50 equivalent in coupons.

    I sure wasn't going to do £20 of grocery shopping to get just £3.50. I think I save far more shopping elsewhere:rotfl:. However, the petrol at full price (as it always is!) but £3.50 in points is worth it, whenever I come to spend them! In fact, the petrol from that store, with the normal collection of 0.5p in points per litre, works out technically cheaper than A (of course I am still paying 2p per 10L extra to Sains but getting 5p in points - as if that makes much difference). I think I stay away from them in order to hope that I get more value on vouchers posted to me to tempt me back, or even get them at all. I haven't been there since the promotion last October. They have thwarted me again though as I've now got petrol from them! I need to stay away:rotfl:.

    I also got a voucher for £18 off my first (purely hypothetical:D) online shop. They want me to spend £60:eek:(:rotfl: - I laugh because that's well below most people's normal weekly shops) in order to get that - a spending still in excess of £40 more than what I need - and, even though BM is now available online (but only to be redeemed online), it would still be a spending of £32 minimum from me (and that would be after any of A's cheaper prices on brands). So obviously that one was a none-starter:rotfl:. (I prefer much smaller spend shops, where BM can be half of your shopping bill, rather than only being able to reduce £60 down to £50 and then have an amount taken off that still high spend:rotfl:).

    Anyway, if I spend £60 they will want £60 every time to give me any discount - so, with me spending so much less and only ever a maximum of £10 on petrol in any single transaction - hopefully the spend they require will now reduce:money:.

    LS, that roundabout there is going to be:eek: not far off the big one:cool:

    Yep, another roundabout to go in between two roundabouts, to match the school (assuming it gets the go ahead) across the road from another already established and busy school. :o
