Elite 11+ shopping and chat thread

Had a good morning at the sales. Got easter presents - wine gums, jelly babies & choc eclairs boxes reduced to £1 so everyone is getting a box of each tied together with a ribbon. Much better value than chocolate eggs. Brazil nuts and fruit & nut packs were reduced to £1.25 so also bought some of those as had long dates on them.

Got all of my family Xmas cards for next year at half price plus a few nice gifts for DD at the card shop. Spent £18 but I see that as saving £18.

Managed lots of nice gifts in Superdrug as only me there when they opened the doors so DD has 2 nice make-up brush sets, some bubble bath, eye pallette, lip glosses, make-up bag, etc already for next year. box neatly packed ready for the loft.

I came home laden with bags. and very happy with what I had bought.

Sainsbury's were reducing turkey crowns to 75% off, nearly tempted as there were some beauties. They also had stuffed ducks, pork, chickens all heavily reduced. Mostly dated 27th so would have frozen well, but determined to use what I have in the freezer from woopsies before buying some more.

Off to throw a little 'left over' buffet together for the 3 of us for tea before settling to watch a couple of films.

Thank you braveheart will have a look at that phone. You lost me a bit with the tethering!! but one of my new years resolutions is going to be more tech minded in 2017. I have a 7 year little boy and he knows more than me!!

Thank you bubbs for your warm welcome. I will try and post regular from now on.

well, just had the awkward phone call with errant son - first time he has spoken to me in 3 months - last time he slammed the phone down on me.
Mostly it was the sort of stilted conversation you would have with a random stranger at the bus stop
They have been up on skye in the middle of storm Barbara, constant rain for days and now gping into storm connah
And hecsays he might be passing through on the 30th when we have visitors ...

That's because the price had dropped cjj. They were 80p each when glitching, but asda dropped the price to 50p each on the price update this morning. Did they scan at 50p each on your receipt ?

Yes izzey they did xx

To enable this feature (it is built into Windows) follow these simple directions:

•Open “Start Menu”.
•Go to “Control Panel”.
•Find “Mouse” and click on it. “Mouse Properties” should open.
•Go to “Pointer Options” and check “Show location of pointer when I press the CTRL key”:

I've had this before, there's a button at the top of my laptop that I hit sometimes. For the life of me I can't remember which one it is though. Hope it helps

Mousekeys = LeftAlt+LeftShift+NumLock. Press and hold until something happens.
