Elite 11+ shopping and chat thread

I have been to Lidl and got 2 of the William Morris kettles :j - one for us and a spare as a possible gift

I also got the Lidl suddenly but its not the one I got before so it may have to be bathroom perfume

Also picked up my free fleece from marks - £10 off from the sparks app for jackets and my birthday fiver.

So that was about it for shopping today except for ...

Please can I ask what is the Greggs glitch?

I have to tackle Greggs - my birthday cake never appeared on my app and they seem to be ignoring me. I know I have the contact email somewhere ...

Possibly COS will have something free and edible on their lists this week - pepperami and mountain dew are not a very balanced diet

PM sent :money:

You need to do a checklist:
Car(s) undamaged?
Suspiciously moved furniture to cover up damage/stains?
When is his phone contract up for renewal?
Does he have a g/f ? :eek:
Does he have sky/cable in his room?
Hmmmm.... days lengthening, thoughts towards summer.... Booking holidays?????

:eek: Don't think she could run more like a slow trot

One I can see that, cheeky but true :rotfl: :rotfl:

I've been enjoying Discovery channel whilst I still can. I'm saddened that Sky are losing these Channels as that's where I'm often found

Will be back later, just watching a dramatisation of Catherine Cookson on Drama

Hi Everybody

I have not been around for so long due to work commitments. Have logged in today and had a read back .

I really would love to know what the gregs glitch is if you have a minute.

After reading back I called at my local Tesco and picked up a few Christmas 4p items so that you so much for posting.

Except for getting more of the rat poison blocks :mad:

The fox has started coming around again, not stopping but just running through, usually setting off the security light but by then he has gone. The light went on in the early hours one night so I looked out expecting to see the fox on the lawn, it wasn't, it was a rat :mad:

Its one of the down sides of living semi rural, once the cold sets in the rat comes back.

I said I don't know what the rat is living on, the cats are not fed outside in this weather and we don't put bread on the lawn. OH is convinced they live at the bottom of the compost heaps (plastic ones) even though the heaps are freezing cold at this time of year and only topped up with tea bags, banana skins and vegetable peelings.

This morning OH looks at the apple stores in the porch and the rat has been living on the apples we wrapped up in newspaper in October put on trays so all of our store apples are now in the bin


So everything in the porch which was not much, only the fire stick box, the apple store baskets, wellies, bags for life, empty store baskets and an old office chair was turfed out this morning, the porch scrubbed down and bleached and tidied up and the rat trap set up.

The floor of the porch is blue brick but the rat has managed to dig under the bricks and under the apple store so the floor was covered in dirt so we had to scoop the dirt out and bin it, then bleach the brick floor - no obvious sign of where he is coming in though. I suspect that rat has tunnelled in from under the wood pile outside the porch and then come up under the blue bricks - needless to say I've been requesting OH to get this wood pile shifted for years but it fell on deaf ears.
The wood pile is actually scrap wood that came out of the boys bedrooms when it was revamped 3 years ago, it really needs to be cut down and taken to the tips as its things like painted skirting's boards so unsuitable for the fire.

:rotfl: nutter.

My brother turned 50 last Friday, so I've made a cake for him. Also invited him round for a roast. In a typical fashion one of my other brothers is now coming round with my sister in law and nephew. So right now my house smells of lamb, mint, rosemary and cake I'm almost expecting my other two brothers to turn up now. Seems like that sort of day :rotfl:

Another family get together:T:T

Enjoy PD:T
