Well yesterday was fab:T

It took just over 4 hours to get there with a Waitrose S/S stopover. I didn’t have my Waitrose card with me but when I mentioned I was one of their best customers, the young SA gave me the mag for free:)

We parked in the longstay car park at Terminal 4, which was free for the first 2 hours. We made it back to the car with minutes to spare. A few minutes later and it would be £27.40:eek:

DS seemed to be the last to come through but when I saw him I dived under the barrier and did my duty as a parent and squeezed the life out of him:D It was sooooooo good to see him:smileyhea:smileyhea

He ate his picnic in the car as we joined the 6 miles of stationary traffic on the M25:o

It was a long long long drive home but we chatted all the way......calling in at the same Waitrose S/S heading north where whoopsies were being stickered:rotfl:

I could hardly get out of bed this morning:o

Must be great to have him back.

That was a good time for your journey down.

When we visit DS 'down south' we always stop at the SS with a waities too, but have never come across whoopsies there!!

Dayshift will give you a better reply than I can, but I sure you can use one for under £20 at a self service till.

You should be fine with that, £20 seems to be the threshold now.

Yes, I am going to have a look in Asda - might be a good top up presents

So far I've not spotted the fancy new Christmas gins in Aldi, maybe its too soon - I was hoping to get the pink version at least.
Eldest son and his GF might be bringing there own gin they have been infusing and bottling - looking forward to this.

So maybe this will be this Christmas theme - homemade and home spun

mhoc they can be bought online now and instore from 14th November

Evening peeps.
Pleased with my 3 lipstick crackers today.
Only popped in for basics not intending to gift set shop but couldn't resist!
Thanks to finder.

My local store only has the pink ones, but hoping further afield one tomorrow has the nude ones

I'm about to embark on 28 days straight of work, so here's a mahoosive cake to celebrate the birthdays I've missed and the ones yet to pass by the end of this year :dance:

Also if you're going to Ideal Home Christmas on the Wednesday or Thursday, say hello! :rotfl:

We aren't going this year PD, first time in many years. It clashes with other things this year. What a cake :j
