    I might book the same journey for both....then I might get one right.....hehe

    You could buy one ticket going in one direction and the other returning ... you don't then have to leave your child stranded :A.

    It is bad enough them having to travel alone without then having to walk back ...

    Just asked Mother if we had any red napkins (red = warning etc) to put the donuts on. yes was the reply but they've got elves on! She's not very festive, so I was surprised but they were cheap apparently...

    Good morning all....and Poppy too...hope you are feeling a little better.

    S have very kindly sent me an email reminding me it's points weekend....as if I would forget.

    I am now wondering just how many elite might be queuing up beside me at the petrol station as it seems you are all heading out too...perhaps I need to randomly wave at everyone who's there in the hope of perhaps catching an elite!
    ....and if I dont catch up with anyone there then maybe in Mr Shoes near the shampoo ....

    HG....hope you have had a safe journey home...a few hours sleep to get over the jet lag and then a lovely cuddle with Jas.

    DM...I too have decided that tonight calls for a nice bottle of fizz...so there's one now chilling in the fridge...

    Have a good day all x

    So was I, JTS, and Altojack too I think. My Dad was born there too. Rawdon Road and went to Carville school. And I love St Mary's Lighthouse. But we spent time at Seaton Sluice when little (nothing to spend money on there lol) though we did do Tynemouth Long Sands too, by the Plaza

    Anyway, off to bed now so night night :)

    Yes 3Dogs, My mum and dad were living in Wallsend when I was born. Tynedale Avenue, my dad had a garage on Coast Road at the time. :D

    Dad was born in Wellington Quay and mum in Byker. My accent is very light but certain words give me away :rotfl: and if I get :mad: or excited , back it comes :cool:

    Oh what a beautiful morrrrning, oh what a beautiful day fa la la la

    Good morning Elite :hello:

    Sun is shining and the birds are singing, a wonderful start to the day. I can't go out as my back is playing up this morning so I'm staying home. I may just sit in the garden with my coffee and watch the birds :j

    Sarahdol, hope you're ok sweetie xx

    Wendyak hugs to you and OH, I hope you're not finding things too much for you sweetheart. You need to take care of yourself too you know xx

    JTS, I hope yesterday was kind to you and you don't feel too bad today xx


    Rhos, I'm intrigued with this auction, it could be worthwhile for the land alone :cool: does the land adjoin to yours? Listen to me :eek: letting my imagination run away with me :cool:

    Hugs to the poorlies and those feeling low for whatever reason, you're all in my thoughts xx

    No its about 3 miles away . there is 2 lots one house and 2 acres and other 2.2 acres . the separate land is other side of road to house so totally separate . so both worth looking at. Both booked days of work so defiantly going to auction.
    But there is a lot of interest, estate agent said a lot of people are interested in it for a holiday home. Which is the norm around here. :(

    I forgot to mention...I had a look round a couple of S yesterday...

    It might be worth paying some attention to the freezer sections..there are some random reductions on things...I noticed packs of BE inspiration chicken and dipper type things reduced to 38p and frozen herbs seemed another thing quite heavily discounted.
    Keep your eyes open they might be good to push you over a £10 spend.

    Morning all

    DH has been to Sains Only 2 * 200 points on 2 lots of petrol I hoped for more :(

    Very string winds and vey wet and weather forecast to get worse Someone gate/garage door was banging away for ages last I heard it was about 1.30am

    I am missing all the nice salad stuff for lunches and stuggling to know what to have

    DH's friend had a massive heart attack whilst driving 2 days ago Drove into a bus stop Thankfully no was waiting there but he remains critical Fit man all his life

    Look forward to all your updates on "wins" Be lucky:A

    Sorry to hear this about DHs friend, hope he recovers from this xx
