Ah, how lovely - enjoy yourselves, fab stuff! Looks amazing

He's fine thanks. Bought him some new treats, feel sorry for him bless him. Just hope the surgeon says we can let him have a little wander of downstairs when he has his check up on Thursday.

Have you not even been tempted to put him on your knee for a nap:o:)

Always amazes me - they saved them £90 a week! And she had never cooked a chicken dinner from scratch before! I always cook Sunday lunch from scratch (unless I get free frozen roast potatoes).

Free chips, roasters and potatos until the year are ok with me.

Evening all! Thanks bubbs, I saw that one but it's talking mainly about the fees whereas I don't get whether we'd essentially end up with 2 mortgages and how the LTV would be calculate. It's not answered anywhere, it's like people that understand it just assume it's obvious and so it's not talked about in any of the guides. Even Martin has let me down :eek:

Is anyone else really hungry today? It's always worse on Mondays after I've eaten what I want on a weekend, but I could easily go for another meal right now, or at the very least some unhealthy snacks

He'd leap off, he's like a whippet - it's a 2 handed job getting him out of his crate in the morning so I can give him his pain relief (he still has to take it ). DH has to cradle him afterwards so I can change his litter tray and dettol wipe his crate and plump his bed up. I've got it down to under 4 minutes now :rotfl:

I used one of the £20 off... they did not have the main thing I wanted... and i got free food

well done!

I can confirm that the 25% multi buy discount was still taken off my order even though the 2 other bottles were unavailable, surely ocado should have found subs, but I don't mind still got my gift at a discounted price!
Plus a free tea towel for a first order, that will make TM jealous.

Thanks to LEJC and buyitall for trying to ease my mind over AS results, its such a difficult time and I seem more concerned that DS.

Emma and I have done the same. We spent 3 hours walking around Regents Park on Saturday hunting. Glad we're not the only addicts. What level are you on?

Hello everyone :wave: I have to say I'm disappointed in the NHS... They gave me an appointment for an MRI scan within 2 weeks of me seeing my GP (ankle woes) and were really lovely. So I made a little effort, shaved and moisturised my legs and in the end I didn't even have to get them out, so to speak, or take off my socks. How rude! :rotfl:
