    Good evening all

    Bubbs, that dinner sounds the perfect homecoming meal!

    Well done AJ....you're putting me to shame....I still need to sort through the eclipse that is "beauty products"...but I sort of have an order to it....some things I have plenty of others I am on the last.

    I confess to going to Mr Shoes today and picking up a handful of mags but I did resist on the shampoo,there were no decent brand reductions and the own brand 75p ones only had coconut in stock and it was too potent smelling for me.....I left empty handed,although thats not to say I may not return at a later stage to a larger different Mr Shoes to check them out!
    Well done!!

    Im glad you mentioned the sun cream, as i meant to ask when ILTS posted , what is it i missed it:eek:
    Its the price they pick on the day
    Have you thought of a cleaner if you can afford it? will lighten the load for you , glad you are enjoying your job x

    It was on A but looks like it's updated to £11 again unfortunately. It would only have been spares for us as we both struggle to use anything other than the aerosol one, the others can react with sensitive skin and cause rashes.

    I've thought about getting help but the house isn't up to it, we've got bare breeze block walls in the bathroom and kitchen, one of the loos and sinks isn't plumbed in, and bags of tools and DIY bits everywhere. It would be too complicated I think, but maybe one day. I'm sure it should be doable but I just don't get how, I barely get time to myself as it is!

    I just taking it easy and know I should be eating more SW friendly stuff . But no chocolates being eaten I am being good.

    Had phone call with mum hoping that's only one tonight.

    Had to tell her how would she feel if someone kept telling her they where on there way out :(

    She got an answer for everything said my granddad her dad kept saying it to her . Now do I believe mum or not.

    It upsets me when she says daft things like that :(

    Hope your mum is ok and you are ok.

    I had a customer like that was saying it for 3 yrs, i flipped after BIL died and told him i didnt want to hear it:(

  • Good Afternoon

    I wonder if I may join in please, I have been a long long term lurker (back in the big a$da glitch days), but have found a bargain (just a little one though) that I wanted to share, hopefully its useful to someone.

    I spotted in Sainsbugs (Edinburgh) that they had the 12 pack omega3 birds eye fish fingers for 53p

    Welcome Daisy,
    Thanks for your contribution, much appreciated. Don't feel obliged to have to find things to post, some just get noticed by people who pay attention, like you have.

    Feel free to post anything, as a lurker you will have noticed that the thread has multiple conversations at the same time and can be very funny, but also give good solid advice.

    Myself I prefer it serious ;) at all times.

    Update on my gas problems, still chasing up heaters for my street, giving them until 7.30pm........ Ahhh, just got a call, engineer coming soon with heaters which I will hand out.

    Other gas problem, I must eat more fibre :p

    It did that for a few people a while ago - they replied accusing of multiple accounts/fraud. I have not been able to access since and then have not followed up as their offers had become poor anyway.

    Mrs Anon and I had accounts locked - it was apparently against their (unwritten) rules to manage two accounts on one device.

    I think some people managed to get their accounts unlocked?

    Anon

    Thankyou for reply Anon, I only have the 1 account but agree not worth doing sloppy now.
