Evening peeps.

What a day!! Been into town to get my first pair of glasses (short sighted) Then had to go to hospital, :eek:

Last night when going to bed, 1 of my dogs, Ellie, the larger one, jumped up at me when I was going upstairs. I wasn't ready for her and fell backwards 7 stairs and landed on my a r s e, hard!!

When I woke up this morning I could hardly move. thought I'd just bruised my lower back. Had trouble bending down, getting down the stairs and stitting or standing. Long story short, I've broken my coccyx. Docs say it might take up to 4 months for it to heal properly. :eek: I live alone, so my dogs are going to drive me up the wall because I wont be able to take them out!

Docs have given me Tramadol, which I don't like, but they're not doing anything to relieve the pain, they're just making me feel a bit trippy

Oh Scamps, I am so sorry.

I hope most of them do fit, TS, and brilliant that you will find a home for the others.

I bought birdies because I'd been kicking myself for not getting more. Will probably give most of them away. I did mine online.

Reporting back that only 2 have my name on. :rotfl:

And only one for DD3. :eek: So that means none for DD1.

DD2 on the other hand might do very well, will have to wait until I see her next.

Used my first pizza coupon in A today -- what a palaver! Till accepted the coupon and then voided it telling me it had already been used. SA called supervisor who said she could do nothing about it. Texted DB who had emailed it to me who pointed out rubric at the bottom of the coupon telling A colleagues how to process the coupon. Went back to CS who spent a very long time reading the coupon and then reluctantly gave me my £1. I suggested that it counted as an overcharge, but nothing doing.

I think I shall email them...

Mother of 3, could be me...:D

Oh 3 sons, no that's not me. :rotfl:

Her shelves are far more organised than mine. :eek:

I remember those "mum and me" products, they were from coupons couple years back. Didn't you order the cheap little bag set from online for next to nothing and voucher was inside? Think some people were lucky find the little bags in store.

Goes back to zoom in what else she has.

I am not sure it is ever wise drawing that much attention to yourself.- particularly showing shots of receipts showing multiple coupons when few allow multiple redemptions in the same transaction ... that said, Martin and MSE have made a fortune doing similar.
