    Pretty impressed with the lads where ds2 and dd1 oh work on recycling. There is a competition in a paper to win a wedding and you have to collect 500 vouchers to get a golden ticket for a chance to win, one of the lads is engaged and asked them to keep an eye out and in a week they got 5800 vouchers for him:T:T. Shame it was not the most vouchers as they would defiantly win for him.

    :T:T Well done them :D

    Make sure your Ed's is still open before you travel mhoc. Several have closed since they went into administration recently and were bought out by Giraffe.

    I use the one at Euston station a lot. Sounds as if I should use my points before they disappear.

    Its Shopmium which operates on a sole account per device basis unless you have a rooted phone.

    I waited to see if anyone else asked, but clearly I am the only ignoramus around here. What on earth is a rooted phone please? And if it is a landline, how do you do Shopmummy on it please?

    Its back and bonus finished :j

    Have you got to those awful levels yet where you have to use most of your bonus candy's ? I hated those :(

    I am now waiting for new levels :p

    I am just plodding on, I have long run out of bonus candies, and I've forgotten how to do the bonus run!

    I've had a stew slowly cooking for most of the day....I just checked it and realised that instead of a spoonful of gravy granules,I must have added a spoonful of cocoa powder this morning...i's a little sweeter than normal so I'm now trying to balance the flavour out with red wine!

    Tea tonight may be interesting ....

    Have you tried putting a little soy sauce in with it too? It might actually turn out quite nice, especially with the wine too :D
    :wave: long time no see......

    Well, after several smears and an internal ultrasound (:eek:) I've decided the best attitude to have is to not give a !!!! :D:D

    That's what I say but feel it's important to make the clarification of a pampered cat...........(:()

    I've had a colposcopy as well as all of the above, do not recommend it but there is no way I would say no.

    Was annoyed this afternoon, I seem to have been logged out of MSE on my tab, no idea how, but it takes for ever to get a new password for this site, the request new password never works, at least not for me :(

    As for the garage door, the guy didn't have time to come round to quote yesterday, and OH still hasn't rung him again, and yesterday I went to put my bike away and the door would not shift more than a few inches, and it turns out it has come right out of the runners somehow! My bike is currently living in the kitchen, I cannot afford to lose access to it :mad:
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    We've got free fish on Friday evening....

    You're doing fab on your budget..it might end up all round at your house for a final party on the leftover money...you seem to be the only one still standing to the start figure.

    I have to admit that it's actually going easier now for me than it did at the beginning, and its almost becoming habit forming so I think we will keep elements of frugalness going forward.
    Haha, you can all come round for a muller fest, I've practically lived on them for the last couple of weeks :D

    For your sisters spa break does she want to travel far?
    If not then I recommend Whittlebury hall as a cost efficient spa. There are also good deals for henlow grange especially if you book on booking.com for room and add treatments separately.
    For a real treat I recommend Woburn Centre Parcs the best of the 3 by far but slightly more expensive but the spa break includes treatment choices and £50 vouchers for an evening meal in the Parc.
    They have cheaper prices midweek and as you know I love it there.

    . I do think a chaise lounge is a good description of you though. Stylish yet comfortable and laid back :)

    May the odds be ever in your favour;)
