Good Afternoon

Bought the Muller Simply Bliss Lemon today for COS but it doesn't show on the APG

Sada CS tried to tell me that items on offer in other stores don't compare. I read them their own terms and conditions. £5 gift card on its way :beer:

thanks for the warning. Ive got a Sada list cobbled together for tommorow as COS have kindly added new freebies - only after I'd got home
I wonder if the Strawberry bliss would show on the apg ...

Afternoon all! More job hunting for me today.

Hoping to keep some costs down this year by making shortbread and 2 kinds of fudge for stocking fillers (I did a trial-run yesterday and DH apparently is getting too used to coming home to tea on the table and me baking ) I have one small request: has anyone here seen any nice but cheap little boxes or bags I could use for the biscuits, or cellophane bags for the fudge? TIA.

Just having a late lunch and watching a program about people who go wild with Christmas house lights, it's making me feel all festive :xmassmile

I think I got mine from Wilko last year - if so you could order online via TCB for a little cashback, collect in store

:T:T We had the one with the personalised message in the puzzle

I've signed up to the news letter so I remember the place and bookmarked the site....500 pieces looks interesting...a hint of difficulty but not impossible...

mulling it over whether to do a collage type one or just a single picture....

Lets throw this out to everyone to help me decide...is a collage effect going to be too difficult if they are perhaps novices at puzzles...I think the finished result might be more interesting and memory evoking of their grandaughters first year....

or should I opt for a very recent single photo of grandaughter now aged 2 1/2


thoughts please...all welcome

also I was contemplating last week - ish about the Reese pieces on Q clicksnappy - £2.50 in Sainsbobs and £2 cashback snd you can buy 2. From the pictures they look like m & m s so i was thinking that they might make interesting cookies but i could not find a suitable recipe with uk measurements - maybe another idea?

I did warn you all of this fact last year....each year is just getting more difficult to come up with something tangible.

I would still love to do the donation thing...but its a no no.

I came across something today that unsettled me ....I've discovered a homeless older lady living in a bus shelter not far from home, and it's playing a little on my mind...on one hand I'm willing to help with a few small bits and maybe bowls of soup or stew if she will accept them...and on the other hand I'm so frustrated that she finds herself with so many in authoritative places turning a blind eye to at least give her a hostel place or something temporary..... the bus shelter is not 50 paces from the local police station....madness.
