Fantastic walk by the river today, saw the normal heron, swans, ducks etc, but also saw reed buntings and a kestrel

Mine are ready for collection - is it mean to think I will wrap them for Xmas for OH....:D:D:D:D



Thanks for the reminder.... I need it as there is none near me.... I may have to have a trip out...:T:T:T

I would wrap them for Christmas, less than 6 months away

This month Ive got to get another cat carrier - ideally using up gift cards or Amazon. Ive put a message in Freecycle but thats a long shot.
And the other major event is the car insurance is due

Morning all.

Feels hotter than ever this morning.

I too have fallen for the coupon trap having bought 2 Sun newspapers for the Lidl coupons. Spent over £70 saving £9 but only wanted a bottle of gin and dishwasher salt!

I was very good and only bought one newspaper. Stocked up on kitchen rolls and washing liquid (I like their own brand 2 in 1) and a couple of other bits

I am quite impressed with the kitchen roll its as good as the expensive brands.
Also bought 2 loo brushes but don't want to bring that debate up again. :rotfl:

Took mum to visit care home and :dance::dance::dance: Wednesday after work she will be moving in :j:j:j

Was there with mum and Hilary nearly 2 hours had a :coffee: and tour went all over and mum chose her room

We also stopped and chatted to staff and other inmates :cool: :rotfl::rotfl:

Mum even knows were she will be sitting for her tea on Wednesday and met the couple she will be sitting with a lovely married couple.

Mum seemed a lot happier she would have stayed

Got taxi back to old care home but went in pub first :beer: and had our dinner and mum had a pot tea she said that was 2 lovely cups she had had that day in pub and new care home :T:T:T

I have left her enough clothes in old home and fetched others home to wash even though they clean they will smell better blowing dry on the line

Oh Tweets, that's such great news, and, a huge relief for you.

Did any of you see the programme Monday I think it was. They were saying that these computer criminals are targeting nectar points now :mad: Ok apparently nectar refund them but still.

I had almost £300 waiting for when you can double them up which isn t very often hence the £300. So I went to Argos today and changed some for £100 worth of vouchers

I struggle to use up £50's worth of Nectar points, but I tend to 'check out'most things asap, just in case!

My BF, who I have converted to more savvy money saving in the last 9 months, is leaving everything she earns in the various accounts for Christmas. I totally understand that, but choose not to risk it.

He can............. he is the only person I know who insists on totally wearing clothes out and then wearing them for another 3 years afterwards!

I recently noted that he had been wearing a t-shirt that I was bought for my 18th birthday.... it was ripped under the arms and on the back neck... but to him it was perfectly useable. The friend who bought me the t-shirt was :eek::eek::eek: and reminded him it was over 30 years old... he did not care and continued to wear it.... until I ripped the back of it open. It is now in the rag bag as according to OH it still has use!

DS1 asked if he could 'lend' our toilet brush......:eek::eek::eek::eek:

I went to Tesco and bought him one!

Not sure if this was some strange psychological manipulation but it worked!

:D:D:D:D:D:D

Just walked the dog and picked a huge bag of cherries.

If we get some rain brambles will be ready in 2 weeks :T:T:T:T:T
