Good Afternoon :wave:

Sneezy sniffy achy numb gum tweets here

Went to dentist told him about tooth and :eek: got told it was a milk tooth with hardly any roots and no big tooth underneath it

Well done for being brave! :T

and on the plus side Ive just done my first Olio exchange -( its a food sharing app )

A very nice chap came round and collected a wine box with 12 various ciders - All the ones we have been collecting for cashback
In exchange he brought a donation for Princes Trust :j (which is my pet charity)

Chap went off very happy, he said he is also a home brewer so after they have all been drunk the bottles get a 2nd usage

Sounds right to me. Hope it is



Could be good to sell at the imaginary boot sale I keep planning in my head

OMG (sorry I don't like that expression, but nothing else fits!) I have half a house full of 'things' that I won't donate, bin or give away as they will make me a fortune at that imaginary boot sale that I never do!
My dearly beloved asked me to look through a couple of boxes in the cellar, it was some of what was left from a booty I did about 8 years ago..............
needless to say 4 things back in the house, one old pair of curtains binned and the rest put back in the boxes for that car boot sale I will do , one day!

Just sat down, and catching up, but see I have been beaten to saying you can repeat by AAu.

Hope Sarah has a lovely holiday, I will be on the train to S/ton this time tomorrow (hopefully), I'll be knackered.

Got an all inclusive drinks pass this time Zippy, and just printed off all the drinks I can get, dont think I will get any where near getting through them all, but just for research purposes, I will try my best.

Please try them all and report back!
Have a great time.

However, the warmth has brought the ladybirds back out - I have come home to about a dozen on my window, which I've now had to close as I don't want them hibernating in here. :eek:

I hadn't seen a ladybird for years till the other day when I felt one crawling up my leg as me and Bub hid in the shelter at the train station.

Still standing after only 3hr sleep

Off next week as it's a reading week, time to crack on with some work then

Well I eventually made my imaginary car boot a reality back in September, only touched the surface with what I took but was happy with over £70 for couple of hours stood in the sunshine.

Trouble is I haven't relocated the stuff I brought back to their original homes so have cardboard boxes in the porch for the imaginary boot sale I am doing next. :rotfl:

Must admit don't think it's something I could do frequently and certainly not now the colder weather is here but maybe once in a blue moon, maybe I will be braver and take more next time.....

Of course I was wrong to remove the Plastic Cups 100 pack (K-E-Y Plastic Cups) - they are £1 until 6th November:rotfl:. To provide context, I had just one store with them - or rather an indication of them as it was OOS - on Monday and with OOD SEL that said "Valid until 9th October 2016". It seems stores generally are bringing in some new items in this section of the shop and most do not have these Plastic Cups. I found them nowhere else on Monday so I decided, wrongly, the offer was off and they'd probably gone up in price (perhaps to £1.50) if they were still available somewhere else. So I deleted them:eek:. I found them on Wednesday though with the offer on until 6th November so that deletion was most likely incorrect and they will go back onto the list after my trouble with them.

I think I said "I'm deleting them anyway, whether it is right or is wrong". Well, I now think it was wrong, so I'm putting them back:p:rotfl:.

So, I'm sorry for what I think is most probably the deletion error and I do try!

(It's possible that they could have gone up for one or two days and then back down again. In which case I would be completely right:D. However, I think that scenario, whilst I don't know that it is not the case, is quite unlikely. We don't know whether they have stayed the same or gone up or down because Savvy has no reliable price information for Monday for them:rotfl::p.)

Currently on 25 orders at Lakeland :eek: might be a bit awkward collecting them! Hello...I've 25 orders to collect :rotfl:

But by my calculations I should get at least 24.50 profit on 25 boxes of cupcake cases, hopefully more.

Hmm, maybe another 25 orders then...and the kids get a bonus family trip to our nearest store at Windermere on Sunday. Might even let them feed the ducks!

That makes my 6 as a mere drop in the ocean!! I collected them today and the SA said 'I'm sorry, they have put them all together, can we check they are right?' OK says i, not really remebering what I ordered, mainly very cheap stuff, but a couple of things I wanted. I agreed the orders were right, but now I am the owner of a Mary Berry tray bake tin that costs 10.99 instead of a scraper thing at 99p...... What to do, What to do!

a worrying thought occurs to me - what sort of boxes do they pack the orders in?
I am just imagining trundling a trolley load of assorted shaped boxes out of the store and across a long walk through the garden centre back to the car ....:o

Mine came unwrapped and unpacked, so had to buy a bag for 5p - mind you it is a very large, sturdy bag.
