    Tinyshoes - I really feel for you. I am dreadful at losing things. Have you looked in the pedal bin/recycling? I have found things in there before that I have lost. Last week I lost neighbours keys and oh said we need to change the locks straight away. Luckily found them in a back pack - no idea how they got there so keep searching in random places and hope you get lucky. I think sometimes all this money saving malarky can make things a little complicated and you are more likely to lose/misplace things. Good luck.

    Shelves cleared of the hipp at our tesco tonight so business must be booming for them lol.

    Thanks matty, I have looked in the recycling and the bin in my bedroom, will look in the kitchen one in the morning. Luckily I only have a little pedal bin in the new kitchen so not too much messy stuff to look through.

    I remember because I was in a rush Monday I stuffed a bag in my handbag to use while out it was one of those you are meant to roll up in itself and I hadn't since I last used it so when I pulled it out in town my licence could have got attached to the long handles if I hadn't put it back in the zip pocket on the Sunday.

    I really did expect to see it on the side at home today as thought maybe I had pulled it out when I got the little wallet out to put my JL vouchers in yesterday but I have looked all around the sideboard and under it to no avail. :(

    I always lose my keys, DD1 bought me an alarm to attach to my car key, I have another bit I can press to try and find them as long as I don't lose that. :D

    Chocs safely collected. £5 charged. The c&c man said he'd had loads of people buying chocolates today :D There was also a Spice Tailors box in with mine. I pointed out that I hadn't ordered this and was told that everyone was getting one free with their order today :T Looks like some kind of curry sauce.

    You just reminded me HG I got free sample too, Ariel tab and sachet of Lenor something or other. :cool:

    Yay, same here with the freebie. Punjabi tomato curry. Worth £2.89. Pity I can't eat tomato due to heartburn. :(

    I can recommend Our Girl on BBC1/iPlayer, military drama with Michelle Keegan (and other actors, obviously :D). I missed the first series but am really getting into it - 3 episodes in so far.

    Paranoid on ITV1 (tonight 9pm) also looks like it will be a good one too - crime drama :).

    only me awake.

    OH was snoring loud enough to be heard all over the house so I get up at 2.30, the living room was an oasis of calm, fire still glowing and 2 black cats asleep - despite still being able to hear Oh from above.

    Then Treacle cat decided to use the litter tray, 5 mins of manic scrabbling and sending wood chip in all directions followed by a really stinky poo. So I swap the 2 trays around and put the stinky one in the bathroom and the clean tray in the dining room. I then have to vaccum up the wood chip littered all over the dining room floor and Febreeze everywhere - it still stinks

    think I will make hot chocolate and then decide which is the least worse option - the stinky fe breezed downstairs or upstairs with snoring Oh :rotfl:

    Paranoid was partly filmed in Tarporley about 20 miles from here so that's 8 weeks of trying to spot bits of CHESHIRE.
    tonight they did house to house in Burland - its on the Wrexham road and the cottages are very distinctive
    (also noticed the windmill just off the junction on google maps it has a very distinctive shadow :D )

  • I'm here:hello: but only just!
    Been catching up as very busy at work recently so have been mia for a while now.
    Just off up the wooden hill to Bedfordshire. Need my beauty sleep as busy day later packing for our Med Cruise from Sunday.

    Good night/morning,

    ChelseaFred:)
