    I meant to have a low spend week. Lasted 30 mins. Reading glasses broke, so superglue from poundland. But got 2 x £1 Mr Shoes meal deals for today and tomorrow. 2 popcorn chicken from the colonel for free. Went to card factory and got cards and wrapping papers at 75% off, 24p each for paper and 40 mini cards for same price. Loads left, taking Ikea bag tomz lol.

    Notice Mr Shoes thread a bit divided when sale starts and the time too. Will still go on Wednesday At 8AM Just in case.

    Hi BraveHeart

    A have wrapping paper at 10p and 20p -- 90% off basically but I got 10 metres for 10p. They also had cards for 5p though the selection wasn't great.

    Do people think T will drop their prices again at some stage?

    I was at Boots in the Trafford Centre this morning -- they had loads of Christmas stock left!

    Me too!

    Mind you, mine lasts forever now, since I learned how to connect it to wifi instead and switched mobile data off. I was a bit slow learning about that, only did it a year ago... :D

    I know how to connect to WIFI me clever ;) :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Good :T
    We have not had much rain:T we are at TL now, but was up half the night as think dh had a bit of a bug:eek: but we have had the microwave out the wardrobe:rotfl: and had pie, tin peas, pots, carrots and gravy :D:D

    Bubbs, is there a reason you have to live in a hotel for some of the year?!

    You remind me of being a child when my parents were posted abroad. Until we were given a house, we were billetted in a hotel. Mum bought an electric frying pan (no microwaves in those days!) and saved a fortune...

    We have a more than healthy stash of wrapping paper and cards ... I don't think I should buy any more, no matter how cheap :A.

    Shame. Some of the cards left over are lush. And a better envelope size too!

    Me too. I just need some envelopes and am contemplating making them from wrapping paper... Mind you, I am also thinking that charity shops next November might be glad of some decent donated cards.

    Yes the reason is because its a"holiday" home not a residential , yet they sell them to you as being able to live there, i dont mind, its just an inconvenience more than anything and the summer when we have one:rotfl::rotfl: more than makes up for it
