    Apologies - I'm in a horrible place, that I have no control over,
    :(
    I love her so much ♥


    :o:o:o hark at me

    move along :)

    So sorry snap:o

    Does your sister have to make a decision quickly? Could she take some more time to think things over until she feels more certain?

    It's a big decision which may impact on her quality of life and she needs to feel that she is giving it due consideration.

    I hope she feels she is making the right decision whatever it may be:A

    mhoc. Yes you get a label to print out to put on your parcel/envelope. So you can just pop in postbox if small enough but you won't have proof of posting so still best to take to post office

    Hello bubbs:)

    I got ALL my digging done plus a visit to an M&S foodhall. :)

    I had a 10% off food coupon sent in the post for Mr TM's birthday so decided to team it up with a couple of One4all cards to get a protein shop:D

    Can anyone remember me posting a while back that I'd used one without a problem in M& S- which I did...goodness knows how as today was a nightmare.

    The till would not accept two giftcards together. The SA had to put through 3 for £10 chickens as one purchase and the rest as another purchase but then I realised that my 10% had not come off. That entailed a journey to the customer services desk and she had to put the whole shop through again.

    The way forward is one card for a £10 spend:)

    The lady in front of me in Marksies queried my shop.

    I had 3 chickens for £10, and guess what......I hit whoopsie time exactly and got loads of ready cooked chicken portions and breaded and battered haddock, cod and lemon sole for between 60p and £1.

    She asked if we liked chicken. I said that my daughter eats a lot of protein in her diet. We chatted for a couple of minutes but it wasn't until I came away that I realised that she thought I said my DOG was on a protein diet.
    She kept saying that she'd never heard anything like it and how could I afford it.....should I not get advice about it ......did I mash anything in with the fish?:rotfl::rotfl:
