    I will nag you all to start your tax returns in May/June. If you do it as soon as you can
    - if you have tax to pay you will know the amount and will have plenty of time to make sure you have the money available
    - if you are due a refund you will receive it in about five working days. Whose bank account would you rather this money was in?
    :)

    Thank you, that reminds me ... I have until Tuesday 31st midnight :D.

    and I will be outside Lidl on Sunday at 9.55am :D

    fingers crossed the store will have them :)

    lovely very william morris/sandersons,hope you get one.:)
    well........ we went armed with our 200 hair care coupons and I had a tenna lady one, you know for them ones my mum didn't want :rotfl: anyway we all chose our shampoos but I picked up baby shampoo, surprise surprise I hear you say but its for bathing the dog :eek: haha. Anyway I now realise that it doesn't work on baby products although its not listed under the doesn't include section. So the lady went off to check which gave me the opportunity to dish out some boots magazine's. I was encouraged by BQ I have to say. Well I offered them to everyone in the rather long queue and they all just looked at me a bit shocked :rotfl: oh the worst bit was which nearly tipped the sa over the edge was I sprayed the Marc Jacobs daisy into the air as its one of my favourites but I wasn't that keen to be honest. Anyway as i was reaching for the baby shampoo to put it in my bag i knocked the perfume off the counter :eek::eek::eek: thank the lord it hit my bag and shot into the basket under the counter avoiding the floor! And it was the same sa from last time when i did a little exchange, somehow i think she may remember me next time :rotfl:

    Wow they are amazing birds aren't they. Was it on your lawn because they eat worms.


    Well if I do decide to change my job Ellie maybe I could become his apprentice :rotfl: I did make this suggestion but he didn't look too keen :D


    not quite how i remember it.:p:rotfl:it was more you stood at the till with a defiant look of `i will win`.:rotfl:
    We did have a sparrowhawk down a pigeon in the back garden once, took ages to get rid of the feathers :eek:
    this happened to me right outside the patio windows.i was home alone so took a pic and sent it to oh in the pub and instructed him to come home and deal with it.:o:rotfl:

    Only 8gb of memory so it is on the small size but still a good phone for a cheaper price. In stock just now as I am posting. Mentioned on HUKD.

    I feel the same PD. I've just been reading a piece on him. His father was an Anglican clergyman and his mother an engineer. Back in the 1940's she must have been a pioneer in her profession. Unfortunately even today there are significantly fewer female engineers than males, so it must have been a real struggle for her to even qualify.

    I've just been watching some of his film clips. A fine fine actor:o
