    you will all be proud of ds2 he has become a first class womble,:p
    he is on the recycling lorryin his new job and its amazing what people throw away.
    all the blokes collect the macdonalds stickers and fill at least one card up a day each. sometimes more, and this week some of the things he has had include a bag of coins mainly foreign but some collectable and old big pennies etc. a set of spanners, a 2 ft wrench, a hammer and today a large box of fancy bic pens,still packaged but they did not work only because they have a bit of glue on the nib. :rotfl:
    he is loving it.

    I think I've had an excellent summer so far :D:D Guess it all boils down to what you're used too. All I can is it's 100 times better than where I used to live, here I seem to live in shorts and flip flops during summer :j:j that rarely happened in NE Scotland :(

    We have has a really poor spring and Summer up to now:o

    We seemed to have sea fret for weeks and weeks.....being close to the coast has its disadvantages:o I just hope it's on the turn now:)

    Lovely little haul TM. I think I am giving up regular whoopsie shopping at tesco as it is now useless. I have been to Asda a couple of times last week and struck lucky once with the fruit and veg and dairy counter. The reductions are now definitely better there than at Tesco so I am going to just have to use more petrol to get there and hope I strike it lucky. Haven't found a reduced loaf of bread for over a fortnight and bought some in lidl yesterday at full price!

    At least at A you can do a bit of wombling too matty:D
