    I wouldn t be surprised lol. Think there are 5 floors. If I go on a Saturday I get as far as the doors then can t face it :o too many people etc.

    Good Morning all meeting the absent Nellie later to discuss where we can go with our £10 train vouchers as would probably need a destination that was all northern trains.:)



    I think I recall reading somewhere that the Manchester Primark is the biggest in the world.


    Good morning all.

    Good morning ..had to succumb last night and put the heating on:eek:but after paying a quarterly bill for Gas and electric combined of £57 this week i did not mind ..but was disgusted to think how much they had over estimated my bills through the year for me to receive such a small bill after the metres being read..:(

    Dining centre dinner for me today :money: 3 courses for £3-70 and afternoon tea and cake ..

    Good morning all...

    Its a NSD today...although I will be passing A so will see if they have soreens in as I still have a voucher.

    Meat free tea last night for the second day....and surprisingly nice,so at least I'm possibly airing towards a meat free day going forward once this month is over.

    I've actually taken the fishcakes out of the freezer this morning so we have T finest tonight.

    Westie...NZ sounds lovely...I've friends that emigrated there 8 years ago and have really embraced the outdoors lifestyle....they keep inviting us over,maybe it's time to look about going for a holiday too.

    Do we have any men partaking in the challenge....

    Have a great day all...

    Morning all - another bright start to the day :)

    Just checked my Sparks to see if I had a free coffee available and the £15 off a coat is still showing, assuming the order I placed yesterday was OOS it let me order another one in a different size as original size NA. Checked my Orders and it states that I now have 3 for collection.

    The first order I made early yesterday just before I dashed out for an appointment didn't appear to go through as had no email confirmation and didn't show in order history - so reordered in a smaller for DD as my size no longer avaiable - no it seems it has gone through and let me put through another applying the discount again plus the voucher continues to be valid for use today.

    Don't think I have the front to go and collect 3 freebies :rotfl: And it looks as though I will have to go to Waites for a free coffee.

    Time for a cuppa and a proper catch up. xx

    It's a while since we had a bit of muller lust:D

    £4.40 for 8 plus 2 at full price equals £5.50

    £5.50 v £3.00

    £2.80 back on a £4 spend

    £1.20 for 10 mullers

    12p each:T:T:T

    £2.80 back on a £5.10 spend, so 23p each - still not too shabby if it works :)

    Its a pity you are not closer :D I have the cheek to go and collect 3 freebies for you but then I have no shame :rotfl:

    I checked my account this morning and my free coffee and £10 off have a big cross over them so that's the end of my fun and games :(

    OH still has a £10 off coats on his sparks card but nothing is as cheap in the mens section :(

    Happy Birthday little Di:D

    Is it true that the Primark in Liverpool is the biggest in Europe?:)

    Just in case you are tempted to spend money today please sing along with this little jingle......

    " Remember you're a frocky" to the tune of "Remember you're a womble"

    :D

    You are MAD but wonderful :)

    A lot of really good subsistence recipe ideas on Jack Monroes blog

    I know a lot of people don't like her as she is quite political (and quite close to the bone sometimes) but she is a very interesting person
