Good afternoon all.

Jeremiah, I hope things improve for you. x



Does anyone know what the coupons are in the new Shoes mag please? Haven't seen any mags at all yet - will look in a big store by work tomorrow.

I'm enjoying using up the vouchers from my stockpile. Today's cash spend for fruit and veg and Cod fishfingers at Iceland was 4p due to a £10 LTS voucher.

Sorry for writing myself. Tried the coupon with a £2.60 sandwich and chanced a soft drink where they are both on the £3.00 meal deal and got a receipt. The to initially made it a meal deal, but the voucher removed the sandwich and then as no sandwich, removed the meal deduction, so I paid full price for the drink. DEFINITELY NOT WORTH IT.

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: oh dear you re slipping. Our KFC s hot drinks machine was broken today typical

T'wine mystery whites arrived today, quite a reasonable selection and a saving of about £4 - £6 per bottle :beer:
I had to play tetris in the dresser to get the bottles in and strangley enough found a 1948 shilling!
This is spooky for 2 reasons - the recent posts on here about coins and the fact that our dresser is old, yes, but it is French, bought on ebay and delivered (in a transit van) from France, so where the heck did that coin come from?

The dresser is one of my most treasured possessions, it only cost £175, delivered, about 10 years ago. It has working locks and a little ivory makers plaque in the drawer.

PS THere is a code in the weekly email for £10 off at Twine

Keep repeating...I do not need twine...I do not need twine...I do not need twine...

Oh gawd help us now ....

OH has just gone off with a piece of paper and so I innocently asked him why he was writing a list - I fell right into that trap.

He said it was about time he started to wrote his Father of the Bride speech.

I asked him if he had googled to see if there were any templates or guidelines as to what order to say things in or to do things in but he said no, he is free styling it :eek:
This means that he will be asking me how to spell every word with 3 letters or more - I have pointed out the virtues of spell checker but he has no confidence in it and prefers it if a human helps him with spelling :mad:
So every word will need spelling out in every way possible, one letter at a time and phonetically until I am driven bats - apparently he does this in the office as well but there are 4 others in his office so the angst is spread out but here there is just me.

He will also as he goes along read out the bits he has written and I will be expected to applaud loudly and cheer him on - if I make any constructive comments he will take great offense and throw a paddy and it will then get ripped up and out on the fire (no exaggeration, he started on a pre retirement thought sheet on both sides of an envelope and when I made suggestions he said I was being overly negative and it got written up and put on the fire - deep sigh)

He has to write reports daily at work so I think in his head he thinks a Father of the Bride speech is very much the same as an Accident investigation report :rotfl:

If I reappear in a few days time with a large egg shaped bump on my forehead it will be from where I have banged my head repeatedly against a brick wall ...

Oh my dear, you have my sympathy! My OH was best man for a young friend a few years ago, any suggestions I made were met with a similar response:eek:
Poor love though, the wedding was in NI and I'm not sure if it is their practice, but the vicar 'spoke' before the best man. That vicar had most of OH's 'quips' and I could see him furiously crossing things out!!
The best bit was that they did all of the speeches before the meal so that everyone could enjoy.
The worst bit was a gatecrasher, who was picking up cigs and lighters and 'bumming' drinks. OH, in his position of responsibility, quite rightly checked with the sister of the bride that this wasn't some friend or relative before the rest of the 'Geordie Boys' took him outside and sent him on his way:eek: (No blows were exchanged, but the threat was there!)
