Not for the extremely squeamish and entirely faint-hearted indeed:

I think I agree!:D I do need a new doormat and will have to buy:eek: one. Imagine me arriving home to a useless, boring and, above all, frankly irritating "Welcome" message:(. After a long day, it would either be of no effect at all and I'd start ignoring it or it would just annoy me in its total blandness. "Eff that" I'd think! The alternative version would be far better and would probably end up just cheering us all up in its careful, loving and welcoming way. I would never have the gumption to do such a thing when I was much younger:o:rotfl: but, for any alleged immaturity, which I reject anyway, I think the older I get, the more right I have to be immature:p. If you can't stand the heat and warmth of the loving message, then you should not enter Savvy's house at all!:p:p:D:rotfl::A

So, (:rotfl:)I've had a look around. I have noticed that there are some on Amazon (I can't link to the page as it includes a 'naughty' word in its title!) but the one I want is £17.95. £17.95 for a doormat?!?:eek::eek: I think we're all just tempted to tell them to **** off themselves at that asking price:rotfl:! (Cheeky beggars:D!)

(I've seen the one about Match of the Day further down the screen:rotfl::rotfl:. I think I'll remember to do that next time myself now:rotfl:.)

Alright, enough [Strike]immaturity[/Strike] fun:D.

I have got and wrapped or sent all my Christmas pressies and cards. :T

Only thing I need now is food for Christmas Day the normal 4 chicken breasts and all trimmings. Our Poppy gets the same Christmas dinner as me , DS and mum I cant leave her out she is also an :A

I still remember the year your mum served posh cottage pie and you posted a photo of poppy cleaning out the dish. 4 chicken breast sound like a good idea. I am cooking a turkey but not a huge one and mum and step dad will no doubt want to take some of it home so no waste.

I need to get on with my small shops thing, can anyone tell me if I use the butchers in my town and the one in the next town, both are on the list but the same company will that class as one shop or two ?:o

I would say that you 'should' be fine to make purchases at both of these shops. Thinking back to last year when one stop shops were listed, people got credited at each individual shop they visited.
If you want to be certain, then you could always email amex....they reply quite quickly.

Evening all! Just popping my head around the door as I've finally figured out why I couldn't get the app to blipping work! Apparently my internet was telling the app that I'm in the US, which I'm definitely not! As soon as I switched to the UK, it started working instantly. Wishing I'd figured it out days ago

Thanks for the Pringle info. No M nearby, so it'll either involve a drive somewhere, or hoping T will price match if I go add them to my shop when I spend my dessert voucher tomorrow. Really wanted to get a croquembouche but I don't think they do frozen ones, and my freezer couldn't handle it if they did exist! Wondering whether I can get the traditional festive viennetta with the voucher, but presumably it has to be anything from T own brand range.

Or if you have an A, you could 'price guarantee' them. If you really wanted 8 or more different flavours, that could just be one shop in itself. NB: Not available to Northern Ireland as this involves M.

But they are both making things happen... :o:o:o

I always found the easiest way to remember was that a is before e so I/you/he/she/it/we/they all affect something and then that action causes an effect. If you need to put words like the, any, no, negative or positive before it then you're talking about the effect(s).

No idea if that's of any help at this time of night, but I was a language student so it's an area of interest for me
