    Hi everyone

    Long term lurker here tho my claim to fame is I once met AAU in Tesco
    (Very nice he was too)

    I'd like to really join in but a lot of the "stuff" going on seems to go right over my head"
    Anyhow I am trying a click and collect today (scotland) for razors,
    I ordered last nite and have an email from Asda to say my order has been picked inc 10 Razors.

    Assume that means all ten are in stock or could they have been substituted? Is it not good they are in stock? should I just not collect the order? Can you even do that?
    I have read every page and tried to digest this, however I'm still not very confident and just scared I'm gonna throw away good money on stuff I don't need.
    Any help would be appreciated, I don't collect until 10,should I come back and tell you guys about the shop????

    Morning,
    If they are there when you go to collect you can always refuse or say you meant to order 1 and made a mistake and put 10 and get a refund for the others
    But they work out at 90p so you would get a £30+ ag if they are still working
    Yes pleasee let us know if they are working when you get results hth

    Probably too late now but you could always say that you've just been given an electric razor and no longer need them?

    Please tell us what happened!

    Good morning everyone.

    It's very cloudy and dark here this morning, think it's a day of rain again.

    Tweets you are right, I will get hooked on bags, I already have a huge collection of bags. Cathy Kidston, Radley .

    Catching up last night I kept wondering whether to jump on this bandwagon. I don't need any more bags! The last time I liked a design I went out and bought two, possibly three, more and they are up in the loft. I am on bag 2 now and bag 1 is in the sewing pile as I wonder if I can mend it. I have also taken to making my own bags. So please stop putting temptation in my way! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Morning Picasso :wave:

    Morning Bubbs! I got up (in a rush) and have been to church but worrying about Mum and forgot to buy lemons on my way home. Just as well as I probably don't have time to make marmalade today. Sigh. I would have enjoyed that. But did incredibly well on whoopsies yesterday and am going to see if I can make yoghurt from fortified milk designed for children. 2 litres was down to 5p so I thought it was worth a punt!

    Who posted that pic of a bacon sandwich?! I am trying to lose weight and now that is all I can think of...

    Been up since 6.30am as I slept badly. Still I have Kon Marie's my kitchen drawers, done a bag for the food bank, done a bag of crockery & books for charity shop and am now having cup of t.
    OH coming today to progress the shed and then he's cooking a roast for us and DD and her OH. Also 2 loads of washing on line. Have a good day all
  • Went to see Father in Law yesterday. He really is on the decline, he has been given months to live, they cant treat him anymore because his organs cant take it. He has taken the news really badly and barely getting out of bed now :(

    Fortunately they have a hospital bed downstairs now but even so he is struggling to move because he is not using his muscles because he wont move, a vicious circle and one he seems to be giving up on.

    Now we have to persuade DS to actually go and see them, took DD down there yesterday, she came all the way from Yorkshire to go and see him, but DS and family have been up to Yorkshire to see his in-laws several times since FiL has been ill, but apparently does not have the time to get down to see his grandfather, less than a third of the journey time and less than a day out of their schedule. I could strangle him, he will not turn to his fianc!e and say he really needs to do it, he tends to do as she wants. Right now I am not happy with him.
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare
