    Well what an emotional day.
    Firstly was reminded on fb that my sister narrowly missed being in Brussels this time last year when they had attacks there. She had left Brussels that morning.

    Secondly my mum had a CT head scan a week ago as GP suspected her cancer had spread. Took mum to get result today and luckily there is no spread of cancer :j:j

    Thirdly had just came out of seeing mums oncologist and was about to let family know the good news and it was just breaking about Westminster. Sister I mentioned above works in Westminster was in a lock down. Later found out another sister that works near tower london , her office was in lock down too :eek: . Both back home safe now phew.

    Just been having a look back - love the outfit mhoc.

    Have to say though that I shall be very upset if either of my kids expect me to wear any form of headwear when they get married - my hair fights back :eek:

    not even a winter woolly hat looks right on my head

    some battles you have to conceed in order to have a chance of winning the important stuff - hat wearing is one thing I have given into.
    Mind you BFs mum has got the most OTT hat so mine will look minimal and contempory and managable by comparison :D

    Okay, if you wanted to, you could get on CoS in M:

    Amstel, Kronenbourg and a Bulmers (all on CoS and CS) and get all 3 free (3 for £5).
    Plus
    Morretti, 2 Bulmers - £5, £4 cashback

    In the same transaction.

    £1 for 6 bottles.

    On CS (separate receipt):
    Kronenbourg, Amstel plus Bulmers - £5 cashback on £5 spend,

    Anything better? I know, thinking too much about it, there will be no stock by the time I get there ...

    Anon

    This is what I was thinking but Ive already got my Amstrel so I am thinking 3 beers, 3 bulmers = £10 minus £9 from COS

    Oh I like hats but they just don't like me :rotfl: I would love to be able to wear one but they all just look so awful. We had to wear a 'pork pie' hat at school and I had to have the biggest one in the shop:eek:
    Well done Poppy :T
