There is a very funny thread on twitter posted by a Dad who accompanied kids on a school trip. An experience never to be repeated apparently.

Is that the one that's been deleted as mostly fictional?

Was just thinking if you could get a screenshot that way?

Or maybe do a chat with them, they might be able to send you a code?

Went to Sainsburys en route this afternoon with a nectar points voucher 300 points for a £15 spend and a selection of other MOCs and points vouchers.
Of course it didn't quite go quite to plan.
I've looked everywhere now for those cheap packs of venus razors but not found them anywhere - they are supposed to be £1.80 in Sainsburys.
Forgot to get the one item needed for shopimmums
Still no WOWs for COS - I don't know why I bother looking.

At the till the boy scans my shopping and it came to £14.95 - 5p short :eek:
So OH knows the drill and off he goes in search of something to top it up. I know he had to pass the end of aisle sweet selection so I thought he would come back with a sherbet dab or smarties or suchlike.
There was a bit of a wait and then he rolls up with one single banana which scans for 12p and just takes the shopping over the fifteen pound mark :j
I have trained him well

OH also spotted some reduced chocolate digestives on the RTC stand which he was quite keen to put in the trolley - to me they were still not properly reduced so they were not going in the trolley.
OH has managed to wean himself off biscuits for about 4 weeks now - he is still eating big bowls of muesli, entire bags of sweets in one sitting, the odd square of chocolate, 2 oranges at a time and the odd slice of cake ... so the sugar consumption is not any better ...

Anyway OH says he would take the biscuits to work.
I say they are still the same amount of sugar and calories if you eat them at home or at work.

OH says he has not eaten biscuits for weeks.
I say so that's not a reason to start eating them now.

OH says they are reduced.
I say being reduced is not a reason to buy biscuits, same sugar, calories etc

OH says he still eats biscuits when giving blood.
I say yes that's once every 16 weeks and still no reason to eat them inbetween times.

Then he gives up, having lost the argument :rotfl:

So we went to give blood this afternoon.

They take a tiny drop from your finger end and drop it into a test tube of blue solution. Its supposed to drop like a stone. Mine didn't though so the chap did the test again. It still didn't drop.

Then off we went to do another test in a corner where they take a drop from your non leading arm and put it on a slide and insert it into a reader. It has to read over a certain level and I was slightly below - 117 - so officially I didn't have enough iron.

So I was suspended today and couldn't give blood

Very disappointed with myself - I've been drinking lots of water today to make sure I wasn't dehydrated as I know this can affect things. And generally eating very well - lots of salad with meat and I even chop prunes onto salad. I also like very dark chocolate which is supposed to have a lot of iron.

Booked again for September.

Are these digits your three mobile number?

In our Costa you have to stand in the doorway to get a signal - I had issues last time so the chap sent us away with our coffees and then when eventually the code came up I had to go back to the desk with it
