    Good morning. Some of my vouchers arrived yesterday, unsure why they were not all in the envelope.

    I also restocked all my tins & jars last sunday & cleaned out the cupboards. I have a little label machine so they are all nicely labelled as well. Once I filled them up the cupboard was much emptier as it has all the packets and lots of empty jars.

    At the minute I wander into a shop out of habit then walk back out again. The only £ I spent yesterday was to top my Asda gift card up to get the bonus & in Heron on cheap yogurts. The big pots were 2 for £1. I might go for woopsies today as need some salad bits and hopefully some potatoes.

    I have never done the small shops before. Can you only visit each shop once? I like the sound of the butchers so may take part this year.

    The butchers, farm shops and deli shops are the best ones - all the nice little bits of treats for Christmas :)

    Good morning Elite.
    Hoping everyone is warm, happy and well. Hugs to those not so.

    Kettle's on for those wanting a cuppa before heading out to Remembrance events. Lest we forget.

    Good morning shopmates. :wave:

    Thank you for all your kind comments :A

    I'm sure I typed "eye" and not "ear" :o

    No mishaps last night - though I have moved the bedside table further away from the bed, so I have a clear landing area :)

    OH and DD want me to go to hospital to get my head checked over - but I've had enough of hospitals :(

    Hope everyone who is participating is ready for the S double-up starting tomorrow.

    I want to make a rather expensive purchase ( not in S) but sitting on my hands until Black Friday - just in case.

    Special mention for Remembrance Day :A

    I changed up vouchers in s yesterday but not sure how to spend them, I am assuming from what I was told I can spend £50 on anything covered by the vouchers and then use them 50 at a time. I would have thought that you could use them altogether. Other cashiers had no idea either. Might venture out and get some more changed up today if I can be bothered its an hour round trip to my nearest!!
