    i too have not done a c&c for ages

    If someone has done a shop this afternoon and it's worked it should work for in the morning too as prices are updated midday.....I think:think::think:

  • My old landlord was so bad he had threads about him on mse and there is a fb group of people wronged by him:mad: I think allow to lose 20% and could have nice surprise.

    Lovely day out with N yesterday. Lidls in next town which I had never been to but more like a real supermarket in lay out. Got dgd some lovely letter stamps and we treated ourselves to Suddenly Diamonds which really does smell divine. Can't believe it was 2 for £7 wish I had bought more now. Got an art canvas. a few bits like you do (no 4 bottle wine carriers though) and some of the fake Malibu as ds2 gf prefers it to the real stuff. No salt lamps left but did see a couple of the kettles.
    Then on to Dobbies where we perused all the various reduced sections and took a photo of Dave the Dog (to follow in a bit as it is still on phone). Time for a drink and a scone.
    Then on to B and M where I purchased some inserts for my new drawers in Perspex with dividers similar to cutlery inserts and some more Fairy wul. we had a bottle of Ribena mango and lime as both thirsty again and it was 39p. Sat in car and discussed going back as was lovely drink but both had very aching feet by then.

    Doves are in the Dovecote some of which N is collecting Monday before I get train to London.

    DD has had second of her injections ready for stem cell donation and is feeling very achey today. Very unfortunate she is in work tomorrow and half day Monday but they say she will feel a bit better immediately after donation. The Nurses seem to be private ones who travel all over the place but they are taking very good care of her and she can ring if worried about anything.
    Roll on Tuesday.

    Not read back yet so will be back with Dave the Dog later.

    My heart leapt the other day when I found the four bottle wine carriers in my local. Loaded it up with cheap wine, took it to the till and the £4 didn't come off even though she scanned it. I played dumb and had the wine taken off. Thought it was a good way to get some white wine in :(
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    Quote from front of pack " produced using Beef, lamb and poultry"

    From ingredients page
    fromMechanically Separated Chicken (60%), Beef (20%), Lamb (5%)

    Must get away with front as it is alphabetical??

    I thought Doner meat was mainly lamb, baaaaad me.

    That seems strange as you have no way in checking if their NI number is correct. I believe not even police can check an NI number without contacting social security dept. But I expect it is a deterrent people probably show NI card ( my god one thing I haven't lost) or wage slip/ benefits letter as proof so if name matched licence I presume they are good to go.

    I dont actually do the hires myself but believe my colleaugue signs on to the DVLA and is able to check that the licence and NI number tally up. We dont ask for written proof we just ask for the number. I will ask him on Monday to show me on DVLA how it works.
