    I love the colour, so vibrant.
    I was wondering if I ought to try something wild and whacky - there is a gap now of about 5 weeks when we are not due to see any of the offspring and don't have any Important Dates to attend when I could do some experimenting!

    :j:j:j Do it. It's only my fringe & it will fade into a nice gentle pastel if I don't recolour it myself :) It distracts from my greying hair - you can see my grey in this photo but I want that to stay as I can not be bothered with the maintenance of regrowth

    Just a small section or if you are grey you can now buy coloured shampoo that washes out but leaves a gentle violet tint or pink :D

    Help desperately needed from the elite please I have never had a birth certificate, ordered a copy on line from government site and its hard to read so no good for job interviews especially when they copy it is this the only copy I can get or is there a way to get a better copy. Thanks

    Go to your local Register Office or a bigger one & they will hand write a certified copy for you for a small charge.
    But keep the original somewhere safe

    Thank you izzeyb and bubbles for testing....:kisses3:


    Have you been gardening marmite ? Far too cold for me to venture into the garden :)

    Has your son had success in finding accommodation ?

    Morning

    Looks like the 2 for £3.00 Porridge ending today.
    (£1.98/£2.00/£2.18/£2.28/£2.38)

    http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/asda/bundle-661179_2256548.html


    Quaker Oats/Jumbo Oats and Scotts Porage Oats/Old Fashioned Scotts should compare to Tesco (new offer starting today)/Morries 2 for £3.00 offer.

    Quaker Oats/Scotts original works out 85p a box.
    Quaker Jumbo (£2.18) and Scotts Old Fashioned (£2.28)works out 67/57p a box


    Ready Brek Original and Choc v Tesco £1.50. Works out 85p a box


    Best comparisons Oats So Simple £2.38 each v Sainsbobs half price offer at £1.22

    Original/Variety Pack/Sweet Cinnamon/Strawberry, Raspberry and Cranberry/Apple & Blueberry/Golden Syrup/Apple, Sultana, Raisin and Cranberry – works out 22p a box :j :j

    Double check Sainsbobs website for flavours, above are from Mysupermarket which, like my sums :o, can be unreliable :D


    Check price they scan through at and the offer comes off (hopefully they won't just rollback) after update.

    Don't rely on the SEL showing the offer

    .
    Many thanks, results later.

    We are still probably one of the busiest threads on the forum:)

    We are missing some regulars that’s for sure and I hope they are all ok....you dare hardly name anyone for fear of missing someone out:eek:

    But I will....you alright hampy?

    Yes I’m here TM, been lurking a bit and skimming. Didn’t feel completely comfortable tbh when it was mentioned about me returning clothes to S after receiving N points on the transaction. Each to their own I know, it’s not theft, I still think I did nothing wrong. Hey ho, back to lurkdom

    Hi izzeyb......I ventured outside...Filled up the nuts for the birds and did a little pottering around.....Just a general tidy.....

    Popped up to the Garden Centre to get some onion sets/Shalots and Broad bean seeds...

    DS has settled in nicely thank you....This is his third week and already has some of his own clients to deal with.....He's been told he is doing really well.....I am absolutely delighted for him.......Hoping he may come home this weekend....We have a major rugby contest this weekend......:rotfl: We have conflicting loyalties....:rotfl:

    I hope all is well with you.......:D
