    I quickly got 2 exceptional reports in before the deadline. ;)

    I did remind everyone on the 3rd too sorry I didn't give you a personal nudge TM, I wasn't sure who was and wasn't on it. :o

    I always leave mine with minutes to spare. :eek:

    Make sure you do the post report all will not be lost. x

    Don't be daft:D

    I think I saw your reminder anyway TS....it's just been one of those weeks......

    Paid a visit to T in Dham today and spent half an hour with the scanner but found nothing of interest. I walked quickly past the reduced shortbread and biscuits:rotfl:

    It looked like all the Cheeses etc had all gone.

    I have my eye on the Black Sheep cheese gift sets in a. They are £10 at the moment and dated 14th. I'm hoping to catch them when they go to half price....from memory.....2 bottles of beer, 2 cheeses and a chutney:)

    Just realised I posted the wrong one first, so take 2: Evening all! :D

    I can't remember who posted about this a while back but I thought it was a fab idea and I've being doing it ever since. It's so handy! Usually means some ironing is required, but that's DH's domain so nevermind eh ;)

    Nothing xmas left in my As either, only thing yesterday was pots and pots of brandy clotted cream for 5p. Just got the one. :)

    Must admit haven't tried the little store but reckon less chance of any being there. Last year I went to B'mth and got lucky but I can't be bothered to go that far. I try and keep my road trips more local nowadays. ;)

    I saw you mention it the other day and made a note to self to do it yesterday morning, lost the Note and forgot until last night about 11pm, so like you I managed 2 exceptional reports. I always tell myself to get a report in as soon as, keep up with it, but then it's last minute dash :eek:
    Thanks for reminder xx

    We must have been doing them same time AJ, perhaps the person vetting them was in a good mood last night. :rotfl:

    Exactly the same here I start with good intentions. I had taken couple of photos but could not see how to upload them. I don't want to link my FB account, and you can no longer do "reviews" I remember you could upload a pic with them but I couldn't see a way to do it with a report. I wondered if tinypic would have worked.

    :rotfl: Oh, well bang goes my entertainment for the evening.
    Not sure it is worth the hassle of a drive through to the S/land one to have a look. Wont be anything of interest in Adsa B/don as Chris will have been there before now. Hmmmm, what to do tonight then.
