    :)

    Nice day out, we have a Hotel Chocolat now in Shrewsbury :eek: & I have MOCs ...

    I do like HB - got compatible Oral B lookalike electric 4 x tooth brush heads 3.99.
    Lovely cat toys for 39p - 2 mice with feather tails :D and a monkey on a cord & stick for 49p.

    Campbells condensed soups are 45p (Ts 95p :eek: )

    Bought a nice Rupert calendar from The Works.

    Right :) liver & bacon for my late lunch/tea & instant mash :o

    Please can I ask what are the Hotel Chocolate MOCs?

    :T

    I think this weekend is now organised - BIL is going down to bring Parents here on Sunday.
    That Sister booked into Travelodge for Sunday night near Aintree Hospital.
    I entertain Parents Sunday night & all day Monday (house viewing 11am)
    Other Sister will have to take over as I then catch a train early Tuesday morning to either Fazakerley or St Helens Central depending when That Sisters hospital release is & the results appt in St Helens later

    Is the other sister still coming over from France on the Friday?

    I've just had an invite to the "evening of cheese" on 7th December.....

    I can't go because it's at Borough Market and this year my OH has a meeting in Manchester on 6th/7th...

    But it made me think of DM.....now I wonder if he fancies taking me.....long way to travel...but I know he likes their cheese!!!

    And I have a couple of bottles of fizzy pop I could bring along......

    It looks like it descended into a riot last year so possibly one to avoid unless you like scrums :rotfl:

    And no before you ask we are not around on December 6th and 7th so your OH cant come here over night to sample the myriad delights of the free mhoc upmarket and gentile bed and breakfast establishment :rotfl:
