    Good morning Elite :hello:

    A beautiful sunny morning that started with an early morning phone call from ds1 to wish me Happy Mothers Day and asked if I had any plans. Well no I haven't, nobody has said a word. Ds1 in a space of his own and doesn't come over here these days.

    Ds2 I don't expect to hear a squeak from him as he's still out out that I'm in contact with the two beautiful little daughters he walked out on :mad:

    DS3 and 4, well I'd be surprised if I don't hear from them as they are secret keepers and if anything is planned it's of their doing. I'll just wait and see :D

    Mr AJ done a vanishing trick, gone to the lottie I imagine and pick up a paper :cool:

    Off for another coffee then get dressed.

    Hugs to the Elite poorly and low in spirit, you're in my thoughts today and everyday xx
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    Mine were in stock too - not sure why I would need 10 shower holders and they didn't quiz me on it, but they were very apologetic that it was missing compared to the website :o.

    Good morning! I played confused and sad and said they were for party bags! :rotfl::rotfl:

    I hope this doesn't mean they've stocked up at all stores!

    Well done! No, I meant I will take up each offer 2000/3000/5000 if possible(?), as will Mrs Anon :D.

    I don't even need the points, so will need to work out a way to get gift cards back to cash (... and what to spend the points on :eek:).

    Anon

    I've just taken up the 3000 offer :).

    I'm going to wait until each one is paid out before ordering the next in case they get wise.

    On my nectar I've got an offer to redeem points for a Viking voucher and get bonus points but T&Cs say can't be used to buy GCs. Then again the bonus points shouldn't be given on GCs ;). I might give it a try, at worst I'll have to use it up on some printer ink from them or something.

    Don't forget TCB, oh and I paid with my Amex nectar :o.

    Morning All, Espescially to Mums out there.
    Hope no one has overslept due to clocks going forward overnight.
    Can't see anything of note today, apart from the last day of Mr Shoes in-store 500 pints four 2 purchases. AND £5 of points on signing up for a new loyalty card at Budy Shop with Pwiority Moments finishing today. For this you need to supply (from memory):
    Name
    Postcode then address
    Date of Birth
    Email ( needed for clickthrough verification)
    Mobile number ( I didn't get anything through mine, so no need to be vigilant in checking to see it is your number ;) )
    So, if you are forgetful(??) take a note of your details and hand it over to staff.
    Tomorrow is Pwiority Moments lunch for £1.
    AND Toesday Fwee Coughee at Nerd's, use own travel mug for extra stamp BLAH BLAH BLAH :)

    Thanks braveheart. Missed the Body Shop thing sadly and there isn't one near enough. I should have looked earlier in the week as I got the free lip balm. Oh well!!

    No, unfortunately I was rejected as they said GC don't count. So I am now going to order more GC (plus something cheap as suggested by SnS) and give them a spanking (if it pays off) as it is personal now :D.

    Couldn't you go on the Nectar chat thing, just pretend you weren't told no before and ask them, they may add as goodwill.

    I did this with one of my trains and they said no at first as part of the journey was provided by some London company?? (I didn't know this). But they added the points as goodwill which showed the next day.

    Just ignore me if you already did this.

    No, not yet. Killing a few days in Christchurch, did the walking tour this morning in the pouring rain. I was last here in Oct 2010 just after the first earthquake in the sept, where little damage was done. The earthquake in Feb 2011 was much worse and lots of destruction still visible today. Today we stood on the site of a collapsed building where 115 out of the 185 people died :(:(:(

    :(:(:(:(

    Good morning Elite :wave:

    A peaceful night with dogs, Emily cuddled up beside me on the bed. They stirred around 9.30 so sticking with their 8.30 wake up ;) so got up and fed them and let them in garden, and now having my porridge and fruit :D

    I've had confirmation from the rescuer Emily is going to that no matter who calls me or comes to house, including police if they do become involved, all I do is say I am no longer involved/responsible and refer everything to her, giving her details, which puts my mind at rest

    Thinking of all those like me whose Mams, Mums, Mothers are no longer with us :A I am not greedy, I had 92 Mothering Sundays with my Mam, but lots have many less than that and I really feel for them :(

    Gorgeous sunny day for it too, though still chilly. Have a good one friends
    :( Mr 3Dogs 3-7-12 :( 3Dogs'Mam 31-3-13 :(
