Afternoon all.
Hasn't it been a lovely day? Hope you all enjoyed it. I went out with mum to the Co op this afternoon as I needed coffee, and to get out of the house for a while. On the way back we stopped at a small local garden centre, just to browse you understand :rotfl:
They had a greenhouse laden with plants, some needing a bit of tlc, that were on an offer, fill a box for a fiver. Well you know me, couldn't resist, so found the biggest box in the stack they had kindly provided, and stuffed it full.

Full price they would have cost about £35:eek:
I will find spaces for them, might be a bit of a struggle, but I will suceed:D

Henrik, it does not matter whether the numbers are written on a postit, as I did or written on the receipt.....the point I was trying to make, is that you do NOT need the receipt. Previous posters had said you needed the receipt in order to use the APG, which is not correct.
You can write your numbers wherever you wish....as will I.

I know, i was trying to save you money on post it notes

Cadbury Dino biscuits 50p per multipack (contents 6 packs) in A

Showing as N/A v T, M and W

But do not buy in a shop v S as they are £1.50 in S

DD got 10 so 60 packs for a fiver. Ideal for play-scheme packed lunches. Or for cinema trips...

Not caught up yet but curlgirl that's a horrible thing to happen. I also thought you had to have a receipt. In mine you're not even allowed to do your own apg at SS, they insist they have to be done with an SA.

Another afternoon of kids and rabbits...

Apparently it is Rabbit Awareness Month at the local vet, so free health checkups this evening, so off they've all gone and I've escaped... not heard yet how they've got on.

Poured with rain earlier for all of 10 minutes, seems very odd having rain in 22 degree heat.

We've not had a drop of rain yet Seren. Well, that might be wrong, we had a drop or two this morning, literally a drop or two!

MG is away for the weekend

I'm having ikea meatballs and pasta for tea, just because I can :rotfl:

I also need to go and park the car at the end of my drive do the idiot neighbour across the road doesn't park there and make it almost impossible to get on and off my drive :mad: he parks there on a Friday evening and doesn't move until mid morning on Monday :mad: :mad:

Think it was TM asking but Instyle magazine online has a link to a freebie from L'occitaine. Its a £35 cleanser no spend required.
Sorry can't provide direct link but most compers have emails from Instyle and it is at the bottom of todays email.

Shame I will not be near a store before the end of the month.

Seemed to have locked myself out of my bt email account. I can't unlock as wasn't the person whose account it was originally set up on. Going to have to try the free number and get it sorted. Wouldn't have had this problem if they hadn't decided my password wasn't secure enough. Well maybe it wasn't as had debit card hacked today as well. coincidence nothing more.

DD's drive exits onto double yellow lines leading up to a main road junction and that still doesn't stop them. Also the very same set of double yellows at their other end happen to finish just before a ramped part of the pavement to allow prams/wheelchairs etc to cross the minor road. There's a school nearby, so at pick-up time, cars end up totally blocking the ramped bit, and also sit on the double yellows, often partially blocking her drive and narrowing road access in general. It gets me why people think it's perfectly ok to stop others from going in or out just so it's easier for them to pick up their children. It's not a timesaver, I've seen them there twenty minutes early just to grab these illegal spots. Mad.

I knew I was going to tell you something. I got 10 things for £5 in Claires today, 6 pairs of socks, a minions mug, minions moneybox, and two minions drinking jars
