Good afternoon to all on this miserable cold and rainy day, does anyone know if you can do 2 shops in one day as my 2 waities vouchers finish tomorrow and I thought I would buy 2 x single malts as they are for £8 off £40 plus all the mags papers and coffee that are free. Would that work does anyone think as I see in the terms that the mag is only 1 per month and the paper is only 1 per day?
Please and thanks.
(There are a few on offer at £25)

I often use 2 in 1 day and multi mags and coffees per month but only 1 coffee and 1 set of mags and 1 newspaper per day. (Although I haven't actually tried to do multiple of these per day)

To me, morning begins when the sun starts to rise & the birds start singing. Afternoon is after lunch ie 12 noon onwards and evening begins when I have had my dinner (or evening meal) usually about 6pm

We're about 4 to 8 hours difference from each other depending on whether it is summer or winter:rotfl:. I've always had it the moment of midnight it is morning, it is a new day, the start of a day. That then, for me, last until afternoon. Noon itself, I suppose, if I was pressed on the point, is neither morning nor afternoon - it is noon. Or maybe it's still morning:rotfl:. What about 12.00.59 (pm(?))? Read that as twenty four clock and it may make sense.

Is 4.30.59 still 4.30 (or therefore "4.30 exactly") or is it closer to 4.31 than 4.30?

As for midnight being the start of morning, "Good night good morning" says Simon McCoy when his late night(?) bulletin gets pushed back by the Eurovision Song Contest and ends at five past midnight. So it is morning!

Your reply raises a number of questions for me. What if some nasty person came along and managed to kill all the birds? Or muzzled them so that none of them could sing? Would morning still begin? Could it ever then begin or would it be, forever more, then presumably perpetual night? What if your dinner is late and you don't get back home to eat it until 9pm? Afternoon all the way until you finish it at maybe 9.30pm?

I presume your evening meal usually ends at 6pm rather than begins at that time. I suspect you mean it begins at that time though. In any event, as you are saying evening usually begins at 6pm, therefore you seem to agree with me:D (but you admit the possibility that it could begin only at 11pm if you happen to be delayed by five hours until you could have your evening meal and finish it - and what if you jet off abroad and have an evening meal at a different time to the UK - does that alter the start of evening here?).

I have spotted an ambiguity in "Afternoon is after lunch ie 12 noon onwards". Does this mean lunch is 12 noon and afternoon is after noon? Or does it mean lunch is noon and afternoon is after that? I think that gets us to the same position:rotfl:. Or does it mean "Afternoon is after lunch", which is 12 noon and therefore afternoon is noon?:rotfl:

Not caught up yet, but fizz, rose and whites appear to be in stock, but I cant get the fizz to add to basket, someone might manage.

Well that's blown Froctober out of the window. 2 cases of fizz ordered:)

To make up for it I've been making croutons out of a 13p whoopsied loaf of bread and freezing them for winter soups:o:)

So all is not lost:T:T:T:o

Well why is it still £12 in my store, not fair!

I got some today in H'pool which means I can withdraw £20. Before I had time to put the bottle away the money was in my COS account:T:T

I picked up a leaflet and a temp Morrison's loyalty card and got 45 points on my £9 purchase.

So another failure on the Froctober front.

But to make up for it I got these 2 bad boys to go in the freezer for trifles:rotfl::D:o

I am doing this Froctober thing right aren't I?:rotfl:
