    I have been trying to put a picture of a car parked in a trolley bay on here, but tinypic is not playing ball :(

    That's actually taken just down the road from my parent's house in my home town. (Nuneaton). In Portsmouth (city centre) there's actually a parking space in Sainsbury's that looks like it's a trolley bay...but the trolley bay (albeit without a shelter) is next to it. The space is closest to the town centre exit and it's often available. 2 hours free ;).

    Evening all

    Nice little trip into town with N today. Superdrug we asked about Dove sets and they had them out the back as currently no shelf space. She bought out 2 different types of dove bags but the ones with face wipes are not on the offer, plus in nasty cheap bags. So we relieved them of the 6 they had. After months of not finding these, think was September they were first found, now have nice little stash. Also in SD got 75ml bottle of Marc Jacobs Daisy eau De parfum for £30 minus 10% student discount. Not sure pricing were right as same size eau De toilette was £58:eek: nice present for a birthday coming up next month. Also in SD £5 off leaflets if you spend £50 if you use beauty card. Mix that with nus card and makes £10 off £50 only valid until 7/2 though.
    Also little look in Wilkos and got some stainless steel hurricane lamps for £5 each and N got some lovely cushions for £2.50each. Was a few other bits I likes but carrying stuff back from Wilkes is a pain.
    Asda and lovely lime green towels for bathroom.

    Sounds like alot of shopping but not been shopping since 6/1 so quite cost effective.
    Trying to go dairy, wheat and gluten completely free and must say coconut milk in Starbucks drinks is extremely lush. Think it is a change I will continue when Feb ends.

    I only used to use moisturiser now and then but with having dry skin decided to look after my skin more, keep it protected from the sun etc etc. I think some of my meds can cause skin dryness too so rather than risk having skin like leather :eek: when I'm older I dowse myself morning and night :D

    I think I have lovely skin for my age :p :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Oh i use sun cream, but not moisturiser , lots of people say i dont look my age so must be ok:rotfl::rotfl:

    Just checked tcb for the £5 cashback when you spend £10. Why on earth does it take 8 weeks to become payable? Don't think I will be joining nexdoor neighbours - can't see why u need to post your surname, don't like that idea.
    Martin Lewis stopped me in town today to check my purse. When I opened it he said sorry he hadn't got all day. I wonder how many of the people he interviews actually goes home and tries to save money.

    You dont buy them from the fridge:p same as eggs:D


    Are you not supposed to keep eggs in the fridge because the temperature in a home kitchen varies more than in the supermarket ?
