Quickly sneaking on at work because I've had a message off AJ in a panic.

Isla Louise was born yesterday at 7.26am 6lb 10oz and is beautiful. Mum and baby both doing great and are hoping to come home this afternoon.

Sorry but had two nights without sleep and a day full of adrenaline so no time to post, I messaged those I have on fb which is why AJ got confused ...... so delighted.

Congrats to all.:T

Don't forget QC or TCB with your V1king orders.

Looks like once only on the points Anon, despite being able to add to next order again. I've already had my 4 transaction points but no bonus - both added at the same time on first order. Unless you've had better luck?

AWOL most of the day

Eldest son and his GF stayed last night - I thought this was really very nice, having seen them mostly at the weekend I thought they would be sick of the sight of us Instead they choose to come and see us.
GF went off on the train to see a friend and came back later.
Eldest son had pasta bake and cheesy garlic bread with us, very chatty and relaxed, lots of discussion about the new place and it was gone midnight before anyone sloped off to bed.
Then they had a lie in this morning woken only by vague bangings at bedroom window which they thought was a demanding cat who needed to be ignored.
(it wasn't a cat it was the window cleaner - yes I was in the shower again, fortunately very steamed up :rotfl:)
They had home made porridge and then eventually got themselves sorted and ready and went off to the Lake District via GFs old workplace to see various mates

All very lovely :T

I really love these 2 to bits, OK that is a mushy thing to admit but it needed saying. I think we are going to be driving to and from East Anglia a lot when they move

Savvybuyer

There are some new J2O lollies in A. I can see two of them on a.com and they are in the 2 for £3 frozen offer. Is there another one available instore? I've just come back from A (I was buying other frozen items) and I believe I may have seen three different ones. If there is anything besides Apple & Mango or Orange & Passionfruit, it may act as an invisible trigger to the offer.

EDIT: I don't know if there are any good comparisons:( - it looks like Nestle Smarties 6 pack have gone to 2 for £3 in M:( (no good as won't hit with an invisible trigger), having been £1.50 before - unless they always were on mbuy rather than straight price in the first place. It would be good if Mars Ice Cream 4 would compare £2.25 vs £1 M as it has been RTC there, however that was a few weeks ago, it had already gone OOS in the only store I had it and I suspect will be around in few places now (unlikely it's in a price collection store assuming M still has them somewhere? - would probably need a collection store to happen to be one where the staff have only just changed the SEL, now belatedly, to show the £1 price - seems a long-shot to me but, you never know... usually long-shot means it works:rotfl:).

Oops, just had a message that a lorry has reversed into front of our charity shop, which is thankfully closed on a Wednesday. Will have to stay closed till made safe, which might be by weekend. We are on a garden centre small retail unit site, with large gravelled area outside and gravelled access roads. Plenty of space for even an artic to turn I would have thought, so waiting for more details

Afternoon everyone
Do you know when I was at work I seemed to have more time to come and pop in for coffee and chat with elite, I just don't know where the time goes.
Wedding pic MHOC are gorgeous and such a perfect day im sure being there in person would have been fantastic, and what a day to get married 25th March, that was also my wedding anniversary 39 years:eek:
So trip to London last Friday to see GSs but before we left teenage gs said he felt ill, I had no patience as he always causes disruption before we want to do anything, either with or without him! but this time he was ill so no school for him- fortunately no one else had it,and he stayed at home with his mum.
Late leaving but still managed a meet up for lunch with DS and family..they then went home sorted the boys out whilst we popped into A to get some rolls to have with our free CGS, ..it was only 4pm and already food was on 2nd + 3rd reduction if only id been at home - we did buy 2 boxes of indian meals for supper at £1.50 ish- and no rolls
Lovely to see the baby GS got to babysit whilst DS and wife went to cinema. How they grow, I haven't seen them since they returned from their holiday just over a week ago, lovely and tanned and always smiling..They went to Borneo + Thailand, rather them than me travelling with 2 babies under 2 for 25 hours:eek:
Saturday my 39th wedding anniversary I got to spend time with my dear little boys whilst DH + DS went by train to Liverpool to anfield to see the legends playing...I much preferred my day;) with the babies :):)
Sunday I had an A order using up all my apg no comparisons just a shop that I was collecting at Clapham as its a huge store and the items were available there...well so I thought...
So Sunday morning drove through to A and in plenty of time, the roads were deserted, mind you we have often found London doesn't wake until 11 / 12 ish so with the clocks altering it was advantageous for us.
The c+c came within minutes but...all the household items I ordered were not available:mad: I also ordered 2 meal deals (to leave with ds + wife for later) the wine was a sub as was 1 main, and no sub was even put in for 1 of the main, subsequently only 1 discount came off---The sa was very helpful and pleasant but the supervisor couldn't understand only 1 deal for the meals came off..in the end the whole order was cancelled with me hoping to get an e-voucher refund...but nothing has materialised as yet. The frustrating thing was in one of the meals we ordered the chicken, and low and behold there it was sitting on the shelf, they hadn't put it in our shop - if they had we would have had the 2 meals and not been requesting a full refund, because we then had to buy with real money 2 meals:mad:
DS was working, so we had a few hours going for a walk and feeding the ducks with GSs and DIL,before driving home. Later that evening we had a message saying they really enjoyed their mothers day meal...im pleased as it was a hassle getting it.
Late last night after having a catch up I decided to pm fb re- Viking. I had a reply this morning and they have put the 3000 points on which should be visible to me later on today..so a big thanks to all who have done this to then in turn given me the confidence to also query the missing points..:A:T
Nearly forgot thanks BUBBS for the Yardley --managed to get this whilst away and on the way home stopped off at a larger branch and got the beckham deo online they were £3.19 but in store they were £2.69 so hubby was pleased...
Ive sent him in A on the way home from work to see if any sharpies are around and if so he can do a test shop in the morning.
Are sharpies working today?
belated birthday wishes to all and enterprise please you enjoyed rome, ive only been to sienna, but that was super.
I hope the flood damage and repairs for you Rose go according to plan.
..and the conservatory roof lejc oh dear:( did Doris have anything to do with it?
Phew I think I need a coffee, anyone care to join me, I can make tea if you prefer x
