    Did the BG fuel compare thing.
    Said I would save £50 a year.
    Trouble is, would have to pay £60 exit free on my present EON :eek:

    Afternoon paw sniffers:D

    Early finish for me:T

    I've been desperate for this weekend to come:)

    Great bargain in Wilkos.

    All Wilkos branded seeds down to 10p and non branded down to 50p

    Got EVERYTHING I need for next year. I usually gather my own peas and beans but I've done it for a few years now and quality is going a bit downhill. New seeds....new blood:)

    For the NE coven these are in both P and the seaside store. Says 25p on sign for Wilkos branded but going through at 10p:)
    Treated myself to some garden ties for 25p:)

    Well the day has finally arrived, this afternoon Dd and her bf are signing the tenancy agreement on their first house together.
    My stash has taken a battering but at least I've got rid of a couple of those black buckets :rotfl:
    All her stuff is packed up and ready to go along with half the contents of my cupboards. Dh said last night, we will have nothing left at this rate :rotfl:
    So a busy weekend ahead I thought we were just dropping them off there tonight but apparently we are moving all the stuff in and I'm cheif cleaner :eek: bubbs you could stop off on your way through if you like it's only ten minutes off the m6 :rotfl::rotfl:
    Right must dash have a good day everyone.

    Brilliant news Di......so exciting:)

    Gosh you are going to miss having her around.........but happy days ahead for all of you:)

    Thinking of you today.


    Hate to tell you it's not very sunny at the moment but there's time yet, have a fabulous weekend. You could have had your wine delivered here and collected it on your way home.

    ((3dogs)) ((saversue))

    This afternoon its packing the car ans we are off first thing in the morning....although we may do a detour to a harvester for some breakfast en route....

    Thinking of your daughter today its a big step moving out and they have such exciting times ahead planning their new home for their little family x

    I'm sad,I'm happy,I'm nervous,excited...worried out of my mind ...but I know that its the right thing to be doing so ultimately it makes it all right.

    The problem with skipping us that you miss stuff:o

    Hope tomorrow goes well for you LEJC....I remember DS and DD heading off as if it was yesterday:o. To be honest I think it hit Mr TM more than me.
    I think I threw myself into gardening and MSE and generally kept myself busy. I remember we also stopped for lunch on the journey with both of them and none of us could hardly finish our meal:o

    But I stand testament to the fact that it gets better and you will have the most exciting lead up to Christmas, plotting and planning their return and it's funny but you almost start looking forward to them going back in January and life returning back to "normal"

    Good luck and safe journey

    Just remembered .....I left chocolate under their pillows when I left them:o:)

    So, I haven't actually managed any of the jobs on my to-do list but I have changed all the beds, flipped the mattresses and tidied the kids toys.
    Then had a phone call from some bloke telling me I was overdue on my life insurance review...? He was telling me that you have to review every 12-18 months. I was fairly sure he was talking BS as I went through the policy after my lymphoma to see if I needed to do anything and came to the conclusion that I didn't... It threw me a bit that he knew which company I was with, my name and DOB etc. In the end though I started to get upset (don't know why just having a down day :( ) and told him I didn't want to speak to him any more. I might ring the insurance company direct and speak to them to be sure. Anyone got any advice? It would always have been my Dad that I rang about this stuff and so now I'm having a blub about missing him too :( I need a good shake!

    Ooooh this makes me so mad:mad:

    I hope you are feeling better now logie.

    We get very few cold calls these days but when we do get one, I have no patience. I don't even answer yes or no to them or give any information away. I just put the phone down. I would be interested to know if it actually was your insurance company or someone just fishing:)

    Bless you

    Just back from Wilko myself and there were no signs at all to show the seeds etc were reduced. :(

    They did have gro bags for 50p.

    All I got was the last pack of 3 ladies gardening gloves for £1.50. :cool:

    These were £2.50 in my SD today. Hoped they might have gone through BOGOF as the other BB creams were marked that but they didn't....75% off a good bargain though. :cool:
