What small DFW things will you do this week? W/c 3rd April

Hi everyone, another glorious day, unfortunately I'm working it

Anyway, Twins if heck are anything like Skinning (a SW friendly meat producer) then you could maybe buy direct and freeze.

Infact just had a look and you can buy online and they will deliver! I get quite a few bits and bobs delivered from the skinni range and freeze a a batch of them. They are delivered in a cool box, so worth having a look, although usually has a minimum spend but always cheaper than SM.

As for bike pump - good old trusty £shop.

Mrs LWW - heck sausages are a fav, any good bargin places for those?Has to be lean chicken sausages I'm afraid.

- I need to purchase a cheap and cheerful bicycle pump - any ideas?
- QUOTE]

Just had a quick nosey on mysupermarket and the sausages are around £2.97 - £3 at most supermarkets but waitrose currently have them at £3 each or 2 for £5. My supermarket is great for comparing prices

Try Wilko's for bike pump or ask on FB if anyone has a spare they no longer need (speaking from experience I am sure we have about 3 lying around in different places :rotfl:)

Have a good day!

Well just my luck at the minute, did my first post early on which disappeared. Seem to be having a run of bad luck at the minute.
Got everything we wanted done yesterday except DD couldn't have her driving lesson as there had been problems with the previous lesson. We still went in to the next town where she does her lesson to pick up all bits we wanted, so abit of a spendy day.
Went to pick up a particular medication, problems with prescription, have to ring doctors tomorrow
Decided to get up 5.30am to take a wander around to look for missing kitty. I had wrapped up warm thinking it would be cold like the morning before, but it was really warm. Thought we were going to have a lovely day of sunshine but it is very grey and overcast.
Have to pop to Morris@ns in a minute as I forgot cat litter yesterday.
Have pet blankets and pet bedding on a wash.
Cat cleaning all done
Washing out....really hope it doesn't rain.
After being out first thing, took a drive round-still nothing.
DD fancied a Maccies pancake breakfast, so went to pick them up. The machine refused my bank card, so used credit card. Checked my bank account when I got home as I knew there were funds there, (this comes out of my treat budget) and the transaction had gone through. Not showing on credit card as yet, so will, have to go back as look like I have paid twice
Also think I have a toe infection, so went to bed early last night to do the usual rest and elevate.
Once I've done a few more bits later the plan is to rest and elevate for the rest of the day.
DNMS good going on the roadkill finds.......can I have some of ur luck please!!??!!
CLF hope the tummy was okay after the Chinese
CCL I'm sure it will all come together but there is nothing worse than racing around getting ready to go away
Have a good day everyone x

There is a free way of not losing your posts every again! I use this a lot...<rummages around to resurrect an old post>....


First you need to use Firefox or Ice Dragon as a browser. Then install Lazarus. We all know the frustration of writing a post on here only to have the computer eat it and having to start writing it again:

(1)
You can quickly and easily download the free Lazarus Form Recovery 2.3.1. Add On, or whatever version is currently in fashion. Then if your post goes AWOL you can just right click the blank form where the post should be and click Recover Text and, abracadabra, it'll restore what you wrote.

To install this very tiny helpful doo-dah:

*Click on the 3 horizontal lines in the corner of your browser screen.
*Click on Add Ons.
*In the Search box type "Lazarus". You will see "Lazarus: Form Recovery" comes up.
*Click Install.
*That's it.
*Restart Firefox.

It should take less than a two minutes to do this. Now when you lose a post right click the blank form where the post has vanished from, click Recover Text and, you'll get your post back. This will work on most forms on the internet, not just on MSE.

If you don't have Firefox you can get it free here. (Link)

(2)
The other useful things about the Lazarus Add-On is that you can use it to write posts on here more quickly. For example, if I want to add my long list of links that I post every so often I don't have to go back to an old thread, find the list and copy and paste it in. I can just start a new post, right click on the blank form, Click Recover text and click on any of my recent posts that'll pop up before my very eyes. I can then edit that post if I want to.

Ooooh Ally, what's the beauty tip?

I love saving money when it comes to that!

Currently I splurge on foundation (clinique or boots own, nothing else seems to sit right, no matter how i apply it), Maybelline Satin brow £5.99 and mid range for Rimmel exaggerate eyeliner but i scrimp by raiding the £shop/b&m/home bargains/watt bros for mascara, eyeshadow and powder, sometimes get great brands for way less - got a few cracking sally Hansen nail polishes (clear only -rarely wear colour) from the £shop. Also love to Google my favourite brands of things, there's a few online beauty stores that do great prices.

News re: Cauliflower. Refund of £2 plus and extra £1 apology. Funny amount but better than nothing!


Ally - I shall look forward to your video when I am at home on the wifi

MrsLWW

Brilliant! Xx
