    I didn't go to collect mine either, texts didn't come through until 5.15ish and store shuts at 5.30... I didn't think they would appreciate me turning up near closing and not being able to manage all my orders again like last week. :o

    But my points are showing:T:T

    That'll cover the cost of a new foundation:o:eek::)

    Josie-ann....did you have a lovely meal?....would love to know how little it cost you :)

    Yes thank you, I had the steak and dh had the belly pork, he used the free bulmers voucher and I had the free white wine with. Loads of free salad to start with and rolls. Total cost was £1.49, purely because I didn't know the sauce was extra. (plus tip of course) There are free sauces that I didn't know about so I'll have those next time.
    I asked the waitress if I booked two single tables for next time and we sat together could we use both free drink vouchers and she said yes:j I got back to an email saying I had won another free main meal from the scanned bulmers voucher!
    The steak was very tender and dh had lovely sweet potato chips with his.:)

    I am a bit sad now, just realised that one of us is not around at the mo ....

    That explains why ...

    Thanks nerfy, but I had put this is a word doc for ease of use... because I am a sad sausage (I am not allowed to use * within words anymore.... apparently!). I think I will make a shorter list!

    Are you watching the Ann Summers programme.. It is hilarious (my sister did Anne Summers around this time... I was about 14.. I remember her bringing the orders home and we used to open them and laugh at what people had bought.... I learnt a lot... I think if it was now there maybe some laws broken!)
