    I think its a long tailed tit - we had one tapping away at the side window so we closed it so it would not come in and then it flew around the front and tapped there as well - bouncing back and to, desperate to come in - Sophie cat went into melt down racing up and down the living room and peering out of the front window :rotfl:

    Long tailed tits are grey and pink its a blue tit. I thought it would be a baby because of its mistake flying indoors but its tail feathers seem well formed so not sure

    I have a card but never get coupons.

    Mum gets coupons quite regularly but she does bank with the Co-op so wondering if this makes a difference?

    It's the first time I've received coupons. I have a coop card but don't bank there

    I won a few quid on a scratch card this week so decided as it was "free" money, I'd be non MSE and go to the butcher for a few bits that I'd have bought anyway but fancied the better quality

    We've just had the bacon in sandwiches. OMG. I don't think I'll ever get supermarket bacon ever again. This was absolutely divine.

    I'm all for supporting local business. These guys are brilliant. They hit on the idea of creating a Facebook page and offering delivery. They've had to take on an extra 4 staff since doing that!

    I'm with you all the way on this. We have a fishmonger who visits us fortnightly. He's up at South Shields at the crack of dawn choosing his fish and we get a same day delivery. It's a bit pricey but in a different league to the supermarket stuff. He will supply to order. His cod is delicious

    I've been in and out all day as we've had thunder and heavy rain. As soon as I start planting out, it rains again:o

    I'd been inside a while before I realised he was in the house and he was so small I honestly thought it was a big moth at first.

    Oz flew out of the house in fright:rotfl:
    I called the emergency services......Mr TM:rotfl: who opened the window and the little blighter flew up between the sashes and got stuck.

    I was sweating bullets:eek:

    Somehow he freed himself and flew off unharmed.

    He was lovely:smileyhea:smileyhea

    Good evening all....

    weather wise its not been good today but it's actually improving as the evening goes on so maybe I will get out in the garden with a glass of fizz.

    The coop coupons...I've never had them before...they only started to arrive when I swapped to the new blue card and my old coop closed down!
    Not really shopped there for over a year and then last week 2 x£2 coupons turn up with no min spend.
    I dont have the mailing they came with but I think they were valid until end of june so plenty of time to use.
    The meal deal was very good value for £3 after coupon

    updating toiletries now too as I wont be around until well after the BH...
    6 full sized out...bubble bath 2x body spray,full sized soap,body scrub and body oil.
    1 in a aromatherapy happiness balm to test....lets see what that does!

    have a lovely evening all.
    frugal October...£41.82 of £40 food shopping spend for the 2 of us!

    2017 toiletries challenge 179 out 145 in ...£18.64 spend

    Feel sorry for anyone starting a holiday with BA from Heathrow or Gatwick. Complete computer melt down and no flights since about 11am. Passengers even struggling to leave the airport.
