    Evening peeps. :)

    Laptop has finally died. Turns on but won't boot up.
    Can't affordr another one, so I'll probably have to bow out for a while.

    Good news today. I have a moving date. I'll be in my new house on the 12th. Gonna be a frantic week ahead. Actually, I'm already packed and ready to go. Just odds and ends to sort out. I'm so nervous!!!

    You will have to visit the library scamps and book in some computer sessions to stay in touch......your nervousness is probably adrenalin....fight or flight and all that stuff......you will be fine on the day as you will be so busy....so exciting for you:T

    Normal reaction. Glad you felt up to dropping in here. I am sure you are a great source of support to your sister. Remember you need to look after yourself to stay strong for others.

    Good luck with the move. Hope you find a laptop solution, maybe someone you know is getting rid of an old one?

    Thanks, 2 sugars , must have had 100's of cuppas last few days:eek:
    I am very tired, but its also very tiring trying to sort things out and support my sister

    It's what we all do in a crisis bubbs....put the kettle on......do something ordinary and mundane to convince yourself that life can go on as normal for everyone else while you are suspended in your own nightmare.
    It's our way of coping:o

    Just to confirm maybe two further flavours of Volvic comparing against correct M price:

    10 items (8 different) on your receipt qualify for comparison Asda morrisons
    1x Snack A Jack Cheese Flavour Jumbo Rice Cakes (120) £1.76 £1.00
    1x McVitie's Hobnobs (300G) £1.00 £0.50
    3x Volvic Summer Fruits Flavoured Still Water (1.5L) £3.00 £2.10
    1x Snack A Jack Caramel Flavour Jumbo Rice Cakes (159) £1.76 £1.00
    0.02x ASDA Grower's Selection Loose Sprouts (PER KG) £0.03 £0.04
    1x Snack A Jack Choc Chip Jumbo Rice Cakes (180) £1.76 £1.00
    1x Volvic Sugar Free Strawberry Flavoured Still Water (1.5L) £1.00 £0.70
    1x Snack A Jack Salt & Vinegar Jumbo Rice Cakes (126) £1.76 £1.00
    Comparison total (compared products only) £12.07 £7.34
    +£4.73 cheaper

    The way things have gone today, I was prepared for a failed shop on this:(. You know, one of those days when it seems like everything takes too long? On this one, my A seemed to have bare shelves of the Volvic so just not many flavours at all:mad:. Thank goodness my sprout has appeared! Then, when I had paid and gone through the till, I saw some Volvic, including other flavours of it, out in the store beyond the point of payment - just hopeless!:mad: However, thankfully it's worked and thankfully too many eggs being put into the summer fruits basket did work - even if, had I known, I could have got other flavours.

    Should be Oaty Biscuits at Aldi (and probably Lidl) at 35p. Told you it was one of those shops!
