    Afternoon luvlies, thinking of all the people who are sad at the moment, hoping a little sunshine comes your way soon :)

    Iceland are doing a 7 day deal on their packs of vine toms, had them in a big stand at the entrance of my store, sign showing were £1.19. They're fab flavoured and for 50p a pack a real bargain - limited to 4 packs per customer, I may go back later ;)

    Oh, and I got my 3 packs of ritz crackers for £1 too - thanks to OP :beer:

    You must have applied moderation (Smiley face) Can I ask which ship you were on We only came back on 6th from the Dream and we found the bar service dire in comparison to previous trips


    Glad you enjoyed it

    We were on the Majesty - and I was a bit worried before we went because there were a few really bad reviews about them being tatty, dirty, rubbish food etc. It certainly wasn't luxurious but, for what we paid, it was excellent - very clean and 'looked after' with plenty of choice of food and drinks. I would certainly be very happy to travel on the Majesty again.

    Our next trip is on the Dream.

    Thomson cruises are clearly a bit downmarket and don't compare at all with the bigger, more expensive cruises but they suited me and my DH very well (and I am very fussy and will find fault at the drop of a hat).

    LEJC I so wish you a happy day. I can only guess at your pain, it is unimaginable. I just pray that time does help to mend your heart. We are all praying that your DS gets through his exams as best he can and we all feel how terribly proud you are of him.

    I hope today is a good day.

    Sorry but that is so cold if you, you don't know what people are going through, this place helps everyone, not just glitches but general real life and everyone would love a happy day but life is real it doesn't always happen.

    Afternoon all hope everyone is well.

    Not caught up yet but had to say I completely agree with these two lovely posts as do 99% of the lovely people on here :A xx
    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up & never give up.

    Hi cjj...thank you.....how are you doing?
    A bit of a rough ride this end but we will get through.
    How are your DS's exams going?
    not had word from mine about this mornings A level Maths paper but reading online it seems it was a bit of a mare!!!....still all is not lost on this one if it has been bad as last year he got a B in that module and was retaking it to hopefully increase the mark to take the pressure off the other modules and exams a bit.

    At this stage and after the night we had...I think I'm just glad that potentially he made it through the exam.
    frugal October...£41.82 of £40 food shopping spend for the 2 of us!

    I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it. :)
