Afternoon all! Thanks again Redfox, I got another load of M&S rolls :j:j:j
Weirdly, I had a similar comment both times, yesterday from the CSA and today from the customer in front of me, that it was a good deal but that I buying a lot (6 of each!). I would have thought the first part of the sentence was explanation enough for the second part but clearly not! :rotfl:

I was actually horrified, I was looking at a pack of party food, only to realise it was £7!! I honestly thought the label must have been referring to something else but it wasn't, and people were barging each other out of the way to get at it all _pale_

Going to do a few more house jobs (including finding a home for all this loo roll :rotfl:) and then I'm off to Brizzle. Positive thoughts and prayers for the M5 please!

M5 is ok, it's the rest of bristol that's chaos thanks to all the roadworks for the superbus that no ones going to use! Hope your trip goes well for you

Good evening.

We are due at there's at 7pm tonight and I am at home now as got bored and still no present for them. Oh is out trying to get something, God knows what he going to get.
Give me strength.

Evening luvlies, had DGD1 all day so not caught up yet.

Savvy, Morries have 4 cadbury Freddo selection boxes for £5 in my store. An absolute stack of them. Just checked online and it's also the Mars ones, a great deal

Walked to my ex netto this afternoon, a cage of reductions at the back of the store. Only had the pram tray so couldn't get much. Can't believe the full price of the Nicorette £14.97, got them for BIL as he always tries to give up smoking in the new year, 10p a box such a great price

Hi tweets.
These were individual bags, Pombear Snowmen, plain 120g in each bag, 39p each.
So scales and portion control needed before I scoff the lot!

So you turn into a muggle and buy the multipack anyway :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I can't believe some people do not actually compare prices rather than just buying what they always buy :eek::eek:

I've been MIA for a while, due to a trip to France with D SiL and now having a really awful throat infection.
Don't think I will ever catch up so will start again from now!

I have, at last, managed to get everything wrapped, including the 2 ft metal chicken.
We are going to DS's for Christmas, but I intended to take/make so much more but I just haven't got the energy.
My dearly beloved, grumpy old git, is trying hard to be sympathetic whilst still having a moan about me keeping him awake all night!
But , bless him, he keeps asking if there is anything he can do for me... yes... blinking well everything!! Wrap your Christmas presents, make the stuffing, shortbread, cookies, give me a shower, do my nails and pack my bag, oh yes, and get the rubbish out of my car, check tyres and water etc and leave me alone!
Rant over now, I will plod on, and I'm sure that I will meet our early morning departure time. (I have already said that I don't think I am well enough to drive).

Bubbs will be a t 15a at about 11 so will wave.

Hi Pip
Hope you soon feel better :kisses2: and you get all the bits done, poor grumpy git:rotfl::rotfl:
If i wasnt at work i would come and see you:p
Have a lovely mmas :xmastree:
