    This is £2 in M. However, 250g is £1 there, so would work out better (if there is nothing such as CB or money-off coupons specific to 400g available anywhere):

    SCS advert, guaranteed Christmas delivery, is this all we are going to hear for the next 15 weeks? :eek::rotfl:


    Co op has mince pies in - 2.50 for 6, but apparently they are truly irresistible.

    Wouldn't swap today's Sada shopping for them and that's a fact. :D

    Evening :wave:


    Had a nice day. Decided to have a day off housework (since this is my annual leave :p) Spent the morning doing my nails - my friend has started selling jamberry nail wraps and although a little indulgent it is way cheaper than a proper manicure and will last me as long. Can you tell I've had to justify it to myself :rotfl: My sister popped over and then we both collected DS2 from school. He was exhausted today and very tearful so we spent the afternoon cuddled and watched Cbeebies - I conceded to one last afternoon of children's TV as he is full time school tomorrow :(
    Both boys in bed early at their request! Mummy has had half a bottle of prosecco and not had tea yet as DH at karate :eek: Feeling a bit tiddly...

  • The rooms with gas fire, stove and sink in them remind me of my second bedsit in Ilford in the early 70s. I was 18...
    Shared bathroom :eek: Calor gas heater over the bath... :eek::eek:

    I say my second bedsit as my first one was a shared room and had 2 single beds in there - that one was vaguely luxurious as despite being shared we had our own kitchenette which fitted on the landing area!

    They don't know they're born, these days...:rotfl:

    :rotfl: Ilford still seems the same to me. Did you also have a room fit for a serial killer?
