    Hey SSM, TM, Enterprise! :)

    *runs off to try tinypic*

    Hey Ms Em x
    I ordered a size 10 off saltrock and I swear me and OH can fit in the thing. Looks like a sack. Its going back

    That is not good, although If I was ordering a size 10 and it was too big for me I would be :T:T:T:T:T

    I had bought both boys a load of these before xmas as their tops were getting a little manky. I got DS2 large which fits him perfectly (he has a triangle shape body... 32 inch waist 34 leg (yes I got him a few pairs of jeans)- he spends a lot of time in the gym!) and DS3 medium which gain fits perfect (he is 34 inch waist and 32 inch leg... I got him the Levi Jeans bubbs posted)........ but that was in 2016 and now I am in 2017 I am being so very very good....trying to resist the boxers as well!!! :D:D:D:D

    Evenin all ;)

    Just checked my b00ts coupons too... I've got 100 points on any spend, might treat myself :think:to a couple of those Atkins bars for cos...need to get towards cashing in again currently on £12...

    Sent mum into clintons today... :( no bargains in our local, only 50% off and staff putting out valentines cards!!


    Dry January is going well 3 days in :rotfl: Will be tested at the weekend as its my birthday...I'm going to treat myself to the free tea and cake at JL instead and spend my £5 M&S Sparks birthday offer on something nice for tea, I'm hoping there's a meal for £10 out shortly...can save the wine then for Valentine's Day;)
    Also had a free eyebrow wax offer from somewhere else :eek: DD remarked mum please don't my friends mum had one done and ended up with no eyebrow left at one side... She has to draw it on now with a pen...not a very good brand you know, I wouldn't recommend it!! :rotfl:

    Good evening

    Nice haul Ts :)

    Back to work tomorrow :eek:

    Day 4 and milk and yoghurts purchased £4 spent £46 remains although the I have a feeling I will need more as £7/8 a week is spent on milk alone :cool:

    As I was in T earlier a worker told me I had picked the wrong day to come, I replied why have I missed it all and he said no tomorrow will be big reductions , I don't know how much truth is in that but that is what he said :)

    Thank ILTS, you know I have a cheesy reputation to keep up. :o:eek::rotfl:

    Mums back home from hospital :T
    The ovarian cancer they suspected seems to have been changed to chronic constipation. She was unable to have MRI or CT Scan as they reckoned her kidneys are too weak. Had a plain xray which showed the lump as bowel obstruction, which they reckon has been removed by having several enemas.
    Hmmm who to believe. The oncologist (who suspects mum has ovarian cancer) or the breast cancer surgeon who thinks its constipation :o
    Someone told me to suggest them to try ultrasound as doesn't use dyes.
    Anyway, mum extremely pleased to be back in her reclining armchair with her TV remote at hand :D

    Poor thing. Pleased she is home well and fingers crossed it is constipation. I would do some research, and go to the next appointment with her... x

    Emma :hello: Nice to see you.

    In my quest to use stuff up, today I used some of the almond milk we got free from T last year - put it in the nutribullet with some grapes, kiwi fruit and a tentative handful of kale. It came out a funny colour but tasted good :D
