    Morning Folks! :D

    Busy day yesterday prepping for show, as expected it was the 5 of us who did all the work......just like last year. Everyone knew the timetable of events, yet one student took her prints home and never brought them in for having batons stuck on yesterday for hanging up.... so don't know how that is going to pan out.....


    Love rag n bone man's music got his song for my ringtone on my phone :j

    DS saw him in concert before he was famous he was touring with another group forgot who DS said. I remember DS saying watch out for him he a great singer think you will like his music mum. DS wasn't wrong :D

    Good morning all...

    I had the co op £2 off when you spend £2 vouchers....and I've used them with mixed results...
    1st one they read all terms and tried their hardest to wriggle out of a purchase of a bag of salad and a punnet of tomatoes....and the 2nd voucher was accepted straight off for the pizza/wedges/garlic bread/onions rings/ice cream £5 meal deal.

    so in conclusion I can't answer TM's Q from last night as it just seems inconsistent what they will be accepted on.

    Lovely afternoon yesterday at prize giving,lots of tears,lots of sunshine,lovely food,a well deserving recipient of our shield,and a fabulous turn out of many of last years upper 6th form to support DS....we were truly grateful that so many of them had made the effort to come back to support us.

    I opted for no mascara...it was possibly a good option to have taken!

    Off out to lunch today with DS and a few of his friends(dad's paying) before we pop him back on the bus to his uni pod....he's going back for the bank holiday to celebrate everyone's end of year....but he'll be back on Tuesday for a week or so.


    Have a lovely day all...and lets hope the weather holds for the weekend and Monday.
    frugal October...£41.82 of £40 food shopping spend for the 2 of us!

    Twine mysteries might be about to come back into stock....there looks like there may be 1 case of bargain white available.

    I tried to add 2 but getting error messages at checkout.

    Hopefully they will either add to the cases over the next few days,i'll keep checking as we are down to our last 3 bottles of white.

    Mhoc.....was it you after Clarks sandals? There's a code on Vouchercodes for £15 Amazon voucher wys £50.

    Ends today:)

    Yes still am and yes I could easily spend £50 as I cant decided which ones :D
    The blue ones I really liked in sainsbobs came and went before the 25% sale never to be restocked - could order online to be delivered in store but I don't know how long this takes or how long they would hold them for if I forget to pick up ...

    I am a total idiot. In the charity shop on Tuesday I spotted new Ecco sandals - why did I not even try them on :mad:
    online their sandals are either £85 or £99 :eek:

    The sense of urgency and despond is because my purple walking trainers have vanished - frantic house searching in all the known hiding places and in the back of the car. Possibly I have left them in East Anglia but I think if Eldest son had seen them then he would have said ...
    Technically I cant leave the house now as the other old favourites gave me blisters on both little toes the first time I wore them at Easter so I really don't want to wear them again ...

    Interesting week for me. Have stayed at DD's for 2 nights as her oh was away in Sweden at the Europa final. Baby a bit restless due to teeth and heat so not much rest for either of us. Also keeping bay at home as one of her baby friends has chickenpox and dd and family off to my sister;s flat in Nice next Wednesday and they dont want to have to cancel.
    DS and wife in Montenegro on hold sent some lovely pics of the Game of Thrones locations walk they did yesterday. Rie is the only baby in the hotel so a bit of a celebrity.
    I had an appt at the Breast Clinic this week as being having odd pains for weeks but she said it seems fine but she will bring my mammogram forward to a few weeks time just to be sure.
    Been for bp tests this morning and nurse was well impressed with my bp and weight loss.
    Off to London for 3 days working at the Vitality 10k race tommorow and we are on the west lawn right outside the palace so that should be nice.
    Great news re house. Was told this morning it should be dry by Tuesday so decorating and new kitchen work can start next week. Still waiting to hear if they will pay for whole kitchen as they seem to think they only need to do half even though I have new for old cover and matching sets on my policy. Have a lovely weekend all
