Just a quick question about the tesco cinema tickets can I just go into tesco and buy just the 3 items?
Want 6 tickets so I would need to do 3 shops is that right?

You will need to do 3 shops and put the receipts in over 3 days as can only claim 1 lot of tickets a day:cool:
The shops I've done so far I've only got 3 items each time and they worked

Amazingly, I have managed to update the M list (to last Wednesday:wall:) - I thought I was never going to manage it "in time" and would have to cancel Monday off to give myself more time - it looked like there was a lot to update earlier (even though it was only one and a half pages) and I just couldn't get motivated to have the heart to do the list. I think this special interest might be waning - just seemed like such a task:( but it is, somehow, all done now - and by bits at a time in the last couple of days. I spent much of yesterday just listening to music and having a nice lie-in and listening to music and putting off doing the list.

Just resetting the list each time to update it just takes forever and a day these days. I think it takes me even longer as I have autism and therefore don't do things in a straightforward way:rotfl:. Then the updating takes ages. I'm supposed to be going out to a different set of Ms tomorrow as my own Ms are useless and don't have some ranges at all:rotfl:. I've not even got any clue at the moment as to which stores I'm using and I've got to take the additional items now from the list to check them - again, it will take forever, and then be midnight (even longer by the time I have devised a route plan and map of directions to each M) and then going to sleep and getting back up again with not much in between, so it's just all pressure again as everything is. Perhaps I should have left off until Wednesday to go to the farther-away stores, but then be out all day when Wednesday will probably be glitches again:wall:. It's probably why I needed yesterday off and did about only an hour of the list all day:rotfl:.

I've been like this throughout the entire of my life - I never used to write assignments or project work until the last possible day!:rotfl: (I think it's what presses me, eventually, to do the task:cool:.)

See you later!! Wish me much luck again:D:rotfl::wave:.

Good Morning
Savvy
We do appreciate what you do however don't feel you have to do the collections.I know you are a stickler for detail but there are so many anomalies between the stores that you will never iron out them all,so don't make a rod for your own back.

Good morning Elite :hello:

A glorious day here, tempted to go out somewhere but DH wants to get on with the allotment. Our planting is so far behind due to the abysmal weather earlier in the year. He brought home some lovely new potatoes yesterday, the first of the season. Actually were lucky to have them. Where the allotment stands there is a small river running parallel, this runs in to the Orwell river which runs to the sea. If the tides are high it's like a domino effect and our little river overflows and floods the lottie grrrrr.

Oh well, worse things happen at sea ...........

My nephew was born a couple of hours ago by emergency Caesarean section, six weeks early weighing 3lbs bang on. Baby on NICU, mum doing well, dad isn't on cloud nine, he's on cloud ninety nine!

Congratulations Auntie :T. It's a pity she couldn't hang on a little longer but as long as mother and baby are doing well, that's all that matters.

You have been great qoc pulling out all the stops to help get them organised, you deserve a medal, you honestly do


Right, finish catchup first, then outside I go. I'm going to have a lazy day :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: What's that you say? All my days are lazy? Mostly they are these days :cool:

Hugs to my poorly friends and to anyone else who needs one X

Orla Kiely Soap is showing back in stock in my wish list.

Just collected mine, never seen such bashed up things!
Soaps are well battered, bag is dirty, box is dirty and badly torn, no way suitable for a gift, don't even fancy using them myself!!


Smell nice though even through the packaging, should keep the moths at bay!!


Thanks for posting though.....

Morning peeps, rant over. x

please can I ask is anyone going to the Food Festival at Shugborough this coming weekend?
or has been in previous years and thinks it was a good day out?

Just wondering what day to go and how I can persuade OH that it is a good idea

I have extreme cabin fever which is getting worse and the cattery is full next weekend - also not sure yet if I would trust errant son in the house unsupervised on his own for 3 days with the cats
