Elite 11+ shopping and chat thread

Had an unplanned trip to Ikea today to buy some bedroom furniture for dd. Hadn't researched all about eat all your can in our restaurant to pay for your furniture and wasn't sure about the terms and conditions so was a little cautious. Managed to spend £25 plus for the two but wished we had bought more as this was taken off our bill with no problems.
Also need to hand my elite badge back as didn't scan family ikea card before purchase which got very hot on hotdeals. But I do have a huge bar of choc and some bags of nuts which I added on to our family meal hoping it would work and it did! Think this is a good deal and it is running until 10th April.

It's that time of year again. The time that I hate:rotfl:, when the clocks go forward! Simply getting me up an hour too early for the next seven months and the body never adjusts to the clock change. (APGs of course now presumably taking three hours:(.) I know most people like the light nights so I'm in the minority as usual - I am a night-time person, very strongly indeed, and I don't like the fact we are on this time zone for even more than half the year. It's that time of year when this website probably thinks I'm posting at 3am or something stupid:rotfl: - or, maybe, it has gone back to midnight, I so wish:rotfl::rotfl:! I just need to be a little patient though and not try to reset my clock when it fails to change dead on the second of 1/2am - I've left it for a few minutes this time and it went forward at five minutes:huh: past the hour. So, I'm now on BST:((:rotfl:) and I think I'm off to bed:wave:.

I hate it as well. Its just wrong

I've not ordered yet but thanks to Di for mentioning the 25% off spanish twines. 2 cases of this frexinet cava seems quite a good deal as it's already 30% off. :beer:

I am tempted at £5.25 a bottle but I am still trying to be good.

You ok?

I'm good thanks. You? Dad's going downhill, so trying to get organised with funereal directors. I use the words very loosely but the cost is very expensive. Trying to get organised before it happens. Tricky times. xx

I'm going to do this:)

But I didn't realise you could buy "stuff" as well.....are the chocolate and nuts available to purchase in the restaurant?. Do you scan your family Ikea card at the restaurant as you buy your food?

Thanks matty:)
