    tried the bank for the new fivers and they have no idea when or if they will have them,

    Those fivers... I heard on the radio this morning that they were first being released in London (sigh) and Manchester
    Something unexpected happened which made me smile and still continues to make me smile.

    so much for the much heralded heat wave, we have had torrential rain all afternoon and now its going dark at 5 o'clock :mad:

    it feels like one of those end of the summer storms and I am sure its thundering as well

    no emails from Bella :(

    tried the bank for the new fivers and they have no idea when or if they will have them, I expect they have been driven mad by the press hype all day and people coming in to ask about them :(

    I did though get 500 points from Superdrug for a problem I had so that will pay for dove minis if I ever find them :)

    Currently 28 degrees here:D

    The annoying thing is it is 24 degrees in Funchal :eek:

    Are the Garnier Ultimate Blends 250ml Shampoos (yes, those ones:D) still available for purchase from A? They are showing £2.79 out of stock and 2 for £3 on msm. Could they still appear on the comp. at full price as well as comparing against £1.50 each at M? Is there anything else in the 2 for £3 offer at A?

    I could do with a free eye test, any deals/vouchers around?

    DS2 went today...... he was served after by a girl he went to school with.

    When she was 15 she had argued with her parents, and left. Her mum
    knocked on our neighbours door at 1 am trying to find our house, so see if DS2 knew were she was... well he was camping with about 30 other kids... and this girl. DS2 answered his phone, and had no knowledge that she did not have permission to be out, he persuaded the girl to walk out of the wood to collect a food parcel from me (rather normal), we then managed to persuade her to go home, and took her home... she never knew that DS2 was in with the plot (he then gave her mother advice on parenting whilst I tried to shut him up!)

    Well today, she gave him a massive discount one pair of glasses, and one pair of sun glasses with a load of extras for £60.... bargain!

    I need to go as well as I cannot see properly, but think I will go to a different opticians!
    That's the only time I'm serious, when it comes to baking. Everything else nope :p

    I am looking forward to you being on the programme.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
