    Good & Bad day today, had a boiler service for today between 0800 and 1730, saying they would call in advance. waited until noon and called them. They said that they could not come out as dealing with heating emergencies :mad:
    Plus to it was that I was in for postie, got my road tax reminder. Had to go online and pay it. Was a waste of paper as my road tax is £Nil :rotfl: Strangely I went through the process online and it confirmed I had "bought" my road tax. Still did it, just in case LOL

    So half a day not totally wasted. So went out, got 2 free coughees ( 4 stamps), then 2 sausage muffins from co-op free in Saturdays Star, 4 tinned fishy wisheys, one Rustller gourmet booger. Still to get 2 chocs from Thornies tomorrow.
    Bought some crunchee nuts (oucha!) 2 for £4 with Merlin voucher on them.
    So spent £1 on Saturday Star and £4 for Crunchee Nuts

    WonTwo tomorrow doesn't seem to promise me much, not near any of the promised retailers.

    Has everyone else had the Sky TV letter about the forthcoming price rise?

    I rang them today and we are actually out of contract for our sky TV boxed sets package (the sky fibre and line contract is due in May) We have 50% off now so by July we will be paying £38 a month :(

    Just wondering about a plan of attack - I have put a message up on the TV/Sky forum as there are bound to be experts over there.

    We have a standard HD set, no sports, films or kids TV, no multiroom - only watch sky one and some documentaries

    Yes and havnt even started with them yet just on live chat waiting to find out.
    Back from theatre all done and they're talking about me going homeo:T

    Evening all, thanks for all the B/day wishes on here, and else where. :)
    Great news from Di :T
    :
    Anyway I can also confirm the WB Shiraz is working today, I am nicely stocked up now:j and also the F Prosecco - but £23+ APG for 6:eek: Oops!

    ChelseaFred:)
    Think I am going to go try and get some fizzy frix tonight, hope they have some, I have never noticed those knobbley bottles before. If they have none, it will just have to be asti to have with lime in the summer (or I could splash out on the posh fizz. )
    Then you don't know what you're missing :p
    :eek: Shhhhhh!! If she ends up trying it and liking it, she might drink as much as she can talk, then there will never be enough to go round. :D
