Good morning all, lovely sunny day again



I hear Yanny.





It was beautiful Not quite sure about Kripke's contribution though :rotfl::rotfl: The whole series is absolutely great, I really look forward to it but that was the last of the series.

Have you watched Young Sheldon?

Yes we have been watching Young Sheldon - it makes a lot of the jigsaw pieces slot into place - I like how the older versions of his brother and sister exactly match the young versions

I heard 'yanny' on the radio but 'laurel' on the laptop.

Morning all.

I heard 'laurel' on the iphone when it first hit the news but this morning, still on the iphone, I heard 'yanny' and also on the pc still heard 'yanny'. I think my ears must be weird!!

Some manufacturers seem to believe we can be persuaded to like their awful products if they give it to us free for long enough!

very true!

eg Happy Down - free or nearly free
Richmonds - chicken sausages, pasta meatballs, sausages etc ..
Brothers cider - weird flavours free
Spoilt pig cider - free weird flavours
Jameson ginger in a can

Those Maryland cookie thins - OH is the biscuit eater but he hated them so all of my free packs went into the food bank and now I've seen them reduced to clear in three supermarkets so I don't think many liked them

Have to admit I was amazed at how well they blended them together, if they were a family you had not met for years you would marvel at how little they had changed :eek:

Hippeas 78g. £1 back on COS

50p profit:)

Yes claim three times ... wondering now if my bigger Boots sells them. I've so far only found the small packs in our tiny C0-op and the big packs in Waitrose

Any I get free go into the food bank collection

Hopefully no major glitch cracks off this morning as I am house scrubbing and bed making duties again.
Eldest son messaged last night to ask if he can stay over which was great - he lives 4 hours away so visits are rare.:j
I thought I had a day to get myself organised. Not that its disorganised as such but its only just been over a week since Errant son left so mainly I've been reclaiming the house as ours and moving any left overs back to his bedroom - not even started in there yet as I am not wasting the good weather bedroom tidying.

Then I realised about 11 last night that it was Thursday and not Wednesday as I thought so that gives me only a few hours this morning before Eldest son rolls up ... :rotfl:

If one occurs, please may I have 30 mins head start on Di :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Same here E, both stores I bought it from it still had a £4.99 SEL. :eek:

The staff in all the SD's I visit are lovely and don't mind scanning bits for me. :A

Went to SD this morning and got the Olay and hair gel checked, Olay was £7.50, gel was £1.25 as per sel.


Not cheap enough for me
