Just had a squiz at the wrapping paper on the Orla Kiely website....it doesn't look 'shabby chic' on there

I looked there and thought 'photo shop'. Looked on eBay, can't get link onto here with iPad but there is a seller got 2 bars for sale. They say the paper us a but scuffed, it looks just like mine :rotfl:

Bring it on Ellie

and before anyone suggests or even thinks about roping me as well :rotfl:
Its nearly 5 hours on the train from here :T
- yes I could go up to Liverpool airport and be someplace in Europe quicker
There is though a very convenient Travelodge in Portmadog which is close to the station, about 15 min walk but the room rates I tried for random midweeks in July and August are :eek:

only in September do the room rates go down to a reasonable £44

so basically no

but now the ideas are churning, love that bit of the coast, Criccieth was where our lads went to scout camps, last week in July always and in the Times on Saturday Harlech beach was mentioned with its castle in the background ...

Funny but true DM :rotfl: :rotfl:

Great to hear that Rebecca is doing well now. How do you manage when you go cruising, does she go into a kennel or dog sitter, I bet she misses you so much X

Dog sitter, and I have a web cam set up so whenever I can get internet, I can log in and see her, usually asleep :rotfl:

Talking of vinegar smells, I love the smell of the house when I am making chutney, mmmmm.

Are there still some dairy coupons for money-off in T? Muller Corner Greek 4 pack yogurts are £1 in M. If it's say, £5 T spend, before TBG, then not helped by T having an expensive £2 "offer" price on them. Interestingly (or not!) I note that, despite the £2.50 "was" price, the price graph on msm on the T side of msm shows the products (there are two - one multipack of Black Cherry and one mulitpack of Strawberry) as being £2 at their highest and never being any higher than that, and certainly not £2.50, at any stage in the last twelve months. So, either the msm graph is wrong (and it can be - we have products coming off £1 offers that then later show on msm as only ever going down to £1.50) or else I do not know how T can say that these were £2.50 or show when they were charged at that price. I also have no idea who buys multipacks of 4 yogurts at £2:eek::eek: or ever thinks that that price is anywhere near the price that they should be bought at. However, I live in a country where other people buy ice cream pots at £4 price!:eek::eek::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Just had a message from Errant son who has been on his practical interview day, doing ropes with a group of youngsters ... not sure how it went because he says he has not done much with this age group before ...

so now he is on Chatham station and about to head north again, he has an anytime ticket so its just a case of catching whatever train goes to St Ps
and then a bit of a wait in London before he gets the next train - hi big sister has gone home to sort her car out

but he feels confident and they are letting him know today :eek:

I am going back into the garden to dig holes, cant stand the suspense
