    Does he want to work for them? Does it treat apprentices well? Is there a potential future?

    Chicken Nuggets not bad at a net £2.00
    Magnum BRRRRRRRR not bad at £1.00


    Get some magazines and who knows what else might pop up or go on offer. Have learnt my lesson in past by not collecting "useless" MOCs.

    Magnum 4pks are 99p in Farmfoods at the minute.

    Sorry forgot about the hot water.... can you send DS to grandmothers for the night so you can just look after yourself (obviously after you have sorted out your mortgage overpayments!)

    :D:D:D:D:D


    DS is in bed. Still talking to himself, its only been an hour lol.

    I was going to overpay my full £100 saving but panicked that I may have written the account details wrong so sent a small test payment first.

    Evening peeps.

    Just tried the Nectar swipe and win at BP. Won triple points when I next fill up! Not quite what I was expecting.

    Quick scan around the shop, prices are eyewatering..... Managed 2 pot noodles for £1, won 25 points.

    Don't think I'll be rushing back.
    curl girl with a space - even though there is no space in my cupboard!!!
