    I'm in two minds about going to Mr A or Mr T , I'll end up doing both then go and see Mr L for some of his rolls, since they stopped selling the cheese and red onion rolls I've been buying cheese topped ones. They're very nice, firmer than Mr Ts which I still buy anyway.

    Can't wait to get to Mr T and buy some soup, I've been having a tin a day due to this rotten cold, what with a dry mouth and blocked nose it's been difficult to eat much solid food. No, I didn't get any Hipps as my store don't stock the pouches :rotfl::rotfl: I wouldn't have minded some of the fruity ones to use as toppings for desserts but wouldn't actually eat them myself :eek: :rotfl:

    Have a happy day shopping :)

    Get that meat order in Di :T. You know it makes sense, I'd do the same thing, have done in the past :)
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    I don't usually keep up with soaps but I may have to watch Emmerdale on catch up too after all your responses.

    Definitely get the meat Di, just don't eat it yet.

    Morning all :)

    We still have a few of the burgers left but it's such good quality and I do like to support them, when I sold the shop the lady who took over was hopeless and she had sold it on within twelve months and they no longer use this company, small family business, it was a huge order every week and I do feel guilty when I think about it but hey ho that's life I suppose.
  • Good morning.
    I have a dilemma,only a very small one to do with frocking!
    Dh is on holiday now for a week and we were talking last night about days out we are going to have. On Wednesday we are going to Kirkby lonsdale and Kendal with Dd (Sunflower are you in work on Wednesday I'll pop in and say a quick hi if you are)
    Anyway I used to own a deli and I still get meat from one of my old suppliers but it's a bit of a trek so dh says why don't you order some meat and we'll make a day of it . You see my problem I do a massive order of quarterpounders, beef stew, lamb etc so it will be a fortune.
    I don't want to miss the opportunity because I would rather dh drive there but it will knock my total completely.
    I think I may do the order but not include it in my total as it isn't meat for now iykwim, maybe I'll add the amount of say a pound of stew if I use it.
    I have used so much out of my cupboards and freezer and sent loads of things to Dd too. I did laugh to myself the other day at her house when I opened the cupboards they are like replicas of mine with rows of passata, tinned tomatoes and she had a list of meals planned stuck to the fridge, I'm so glad she's cooking fresh rather than all junk food.
    Now to write the list for the butchers.

    Hi Di, yes I'm at work on Wednesday at the Kendal Branch, would love to see you x
    I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it. :)

    Weight loss 3 stone :D

    Can I have my Elite badge back please?

    Given my history with TMF type promos, I didn't lose the receipt and I remembered to upload the cheese receipt for free wine :A. It has arrived :). I know... small steps ... maybe that gets me probation ... :D.

    It is still expensive that they post it - as a promo I would have sent a voucher, require purchase and reclaim a purchase, or just send a cheque or BACS for the wine and cheese purchase (buy wine and cheese on same receipt, upload receipt, send cheque or BACS/PayPal, whichever worked out cheapest and less admin.

    A reminder you had to buy cheese by 20th October (so too late now even if you find promo packs in stock) but still have time to upload your receipt.

    I will think about it ;)

    Tweets and AJ lots of vitamin C for you two if you can, fresh juice is better than nothing if you can't be bothered with fresh fruit.
    I hope you both feel better soon.

    Di, fruit is the one thing I've been managing to eat, it just goes down so easily, trouble is too much can have adverse outcome :o :rotfl:

    I've been drinking loads too, think tweets has also. It's just strange how this thing descended so quickly and hit both of us at the same time, we've never met yet :rotfl:

    I'm going to go out early this morning, get done quickly and home again. I don't really want to get out of bed as still feel light headed but dh doesn't drive and the 3 shops I want things at are in 3 different directions :eek: :rotfl: :rotfl:
