    Morning mad squad,

    Free cinema time again, the movie is FALLEN, slightly different from usual, you can choose from a selection of dates and times, lots of locations available unfortunately none for me but hopefully some of us will get some.

    Fabulous, I am away FRiday to next Friday, down visiting my mates so all four of us are going to Soton Cinema to see Fallen on Saturday night and I have a couple of three course meals with win deals I bought last month from Buy a Gift so we are going to Zizzi just round the corner from cinema before or after, depending on times which aren't shown yet. I didn't realise you could get up to 4 tickets on these offers. Thanks 99p :T

    Well done OH x

    A good bathroom always adds value to a property.

    Love the loo. When we lived in our last house, we did not have a loo for 12 months.... this would have been luxurious. We had a bucket, plastic bags, we became best friends with the neighbours (they had no choice) and we lived 2 minutes drive from my nans! Needs must :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    £33!!!:eek::eek::eek::eek:

    That is eek.

    I try not spend APG when a glitch is still live as it is likely to be the end of it, especially one this big!

    You should have split the shop. x

    So, if you do an A C&C order tonight for collection tomorrow, does it just check bank for the £1 holding charge or does it look for the whole amount? I have funds tomorrow so wondered if I could do an order tonight to collect tomorrow, but if it earmarks the whole amount, I can't :(

    If you make a spicy bolog, then a bit of creme fraiche on top is ok.
