    Morning all!

    Found my £5 orchard coupon! :j:j:j

    Just got to figure out how to get the most value from it for the least spend. The only 3-4-£10 meat option I saw online was pre-packed with bbq sauces, but strangely there was also a pack of Budweiser... Potential glitch perhaps? :D

    I got a small piece of beef brisket priced at exactly £5 with mine, so cost us nothing. It did us for Sunday lunch and sandwiches the next day.

    Morning all :)

    Morning luvlies, sorry I've been awol, but life has been hectic :eek: DD1 is now a married woman, married 4 weeks ago in Portugal - was fabulous. Also not felt much like posting - had a family fallout back in June few days after my niece's wedding and it's just got worse over the past few months. Don't think I will ever speak to my sister again :o. Anyway, such is life :(

    TS, that is so fantastic re your daughter, you must be thrilled - well done her!

    Will pop in as much as I can but baby sitting duties take up quite a lot of my time at the moment and we have DD2, her bf and DG1 living with us while they're saving for a deposit so don't have a lot of free time :rotfl:

    Hugs to anyone who needs one and Happy Birthday to anyone I've missed xxx

    Couldn't read and run.....so lovely to see you hampy ......think of you often.....you know what they say.....you can choose your friends but not your family:o

    Thank you TM, your words are very true :).

    BTW, Stanley Boy has his last check up this Thursday, all being well he's allowed outside :j. He's been such a good boy bless him, not really moaned at all since he's had the run of the house, just had to watch him when we come in and out in case he makes a run for it into the outside world.

    I think I must have been dropped by Orchard :o. I joined but as I am not active on FB I didn't spread the word and forgot to give feedback, so my own fault really.

    Hi Neosi if you are lurking. I still use your link to watch the space station when possible. Two chances this evening if clear.
