    Morning all. GCSE results day for DS2 :eek:

    I don't know why, bècause there is nothing depending on it, but I feel very nervous, have hardly slept.

    I know how you feel ds3 thinks he has failed English . so has made me nervous as he needs it for college. But what will be.will be. Good luck to your son and all the other elite children xxc

    I think you are right about all the beautiful places in our own country to see

    BUT it is the blooming weather that spoils it
  • Good luck to everyone awaiting results today.

    Reading about freezers made me think about Wendy, has anybody seen her or am I just being as dopey as usual and missed her posts?

    Anyone planning on doing any decorating this bank holiday weekend? Or could be tempted to? :D

    The Dulux Paint+ Cashback Challenge 26th-29th August 2016

    Seems simple enough

    Buy at least 2 tins of qualifying paint, register your purchase and a before pic of the room, then upload a pic of the newly decorated pic for 100% refund.

    https://www.dulux.co.uk/en/articles/dulux-paint-cashback-challenge

    This was hidden away on local radio, well 'local' I was listening to good old Northsound :o:D Not seen it promoted anywhere else.
    Something unexpected happened which made me smile and still continues to make me smile.

    Just had an email from Green Rewards.

    If you're planning a trip to the supermarket, why not pick up our Patron's Lunch Reward Pack and get 50p off four great items. You can now order as many as you want for only
    50 points (was 135)! But be quick, as the offer is only available until 29th August, while stocks last.
    4 cornetto's £1.00 at T & W

    Thanks very much for this just ordered some :)

    If you're popping in there for this it's worth checking if you have the Pick Up biscuits on COS - I had them on there yesterday for £1 cashback and they are half price in W at the moment so only 84p. They're lovely with the free coffee :D

    There is a PDF coupon for 50p around from a few months ago, with an end date of 30/08/2016 for these biscuits :)
    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. :)

    Weight loss 3 stone :D

    Kellogg’s Just Right 500g - this should give a good return v Waitrose - £6.28 v £3.14.

    My sort of glitch izzey.....can you make it last until the weekend:rotfl:
