I did



:p:p

Off to Scotland next week, West coast :D Fingers crossed for ideal weather - clear skies, mildish, dry, and Northern lights would be excellent. Am I asking for too much? :rotfl:

Wow Westie, I love this, good luck with the northern lights. I wish I could have got more when we went to Norway but the cold kept stopping my camera from working. I did manage a few though, beautiful to see with the naked eye :cool:

Small shops? I hope Amex not the retailers pay for that promotion as otherwise I might fell a bit guilty about how much I hit it - DW and I just cancelled her Amex gold so she can be a new customer again soon but still have 6 Amex cards between us (I am currently a new gold customer, last thing DW did before cancelling her card was referring me )

oo these are very pretty - I have a tin obsession
These would be nice for holding the little Green and Black choc bars

I got a very cute shortbread tin with 2 packs inside from poundland this week - red postbox on the top and a Radley dog

I too have a tin obsession and keep speaking sternly to myself: where will you put it? What will you use it for?! I keep my spaghetti in a lovely red Campari tin.

Evening folks

Well that trip home from work was hard work - waited 25 minutes for a bus that according to the real time bus tracker thing was "due" and then when it did arrive it was fuller than full so I waited another 10 mins for the next one, which I was getting on come hell or high water :rotfl:

But I did just pick up a brand new Animal bag for £2 :j

I am absolutely frozen. Off to warm my bones up :rotfl:

went to s telford and i was dissapointed also
unless you wanted a microwave or toaster or kettle there was very little electrical
the lego consisted of a few sets with lego friends max £13 ones
they had some nerf bits but the one they had was one you build onto but only had the base bit

all in all very poor show and i noticed very little offers in shopping isles
wonder if this is in the hope people do weekly shop while there

Maybe but I didn't! I always find S expensive except sometimes for hand cream and rarely buy stuff there. Petrol is cheap though so that'll be what I spend my points on I think.

The choc has gone from shopmium

I should have gone out!! Never mind, I'm much more interested in the coffee if it scans properly. I don't drink it so have been collecting those little sachets for visitors. The free bags will be much nicer!

Meant to quote you Hampy re the suggestion of buying stuff to resell or return at S. Not sure I quite dare to resell but will try the returns option. Thank you.
