    I'm usually a very strong person , I've always had to be but I'm not feeling very strong at the moment and I am finding each day a struggle to get through . I know I am lucky I have a family but losing my nan has made a massive hole in my life, my days revolved around being with nan and now my days are empty, nan was my nan my mum and my friend and I miss her so much it hurts :(

    Sorry ilovetoshop I am no good with words but couldn't read and run so sending you hugs instead (((X)))

    Black n White Pickups have 50p cb on CS and COS x 3 on each (Morries/Waities only)

    Great if you haven't taken advantage of the Shopmium offer to try for 50p (which was already paying a profit)

    LEJC you need to fill your time getting bargains in for the next pit stop. It will happen sooner than you think. ;)

    I always feel good when they come home and I can load them up with goodies and essentials before they go back. I might be odd but makes me feel useful when they are not here. :o

    I still do it now for DD1 and she has her own place now. :eek:

    Oh tell me about it Tiny....
    text this morning asking if we can take down his computer and a fan...we have a few days holiday booked for a couple of weeks time and I suspect the list of "home comforts" will increase.

    What was funny this morning was I sent him a good luck text...which received no response so about an hour later a text to enquire if the standing order we have set up weekly into his account had gone in...straight back with a "yep thanks"...

    So money talks....
    frugal October...£41.82 of £40 food shopping spend for the 2 of us!

    2017 toiletries challenge 179 out 145 in ...£18.64 spend

    Snap I sent DD2 a text earlier to say I had transferred some money and set up a standing order today for every month and got a reply almost immediately. :rotfl:

    I have only had a bill payment set up previously for the odd amount. But this year she does not get enough loan/nhs bursary to cover her rent and living costs so she needs a regular top up. ;)

    It's not offering 80 points per bundle, it's saying that you get 80 points on a £20 spend

    presumably you bought 2 bundles for a total of £10 in which case 40 points is correct

    Ah, OK, I took 'with this purchase' to literally mean the item, not the amount.

    Thank you. :D
