So today, after putting it off for a week due to 'bad weather(??)' me and him used our free bus passes to go to the toon.
Out of the bus and he strides out then says, but where are we going.
I've told you - fat face to use up the voucher I won last year, the bank, the market , Next and then Waities before we get the bus home, with the option of JL to share coffee and a cake.
OMG!! I now know why I always went myself!
We have got back home still speaking:T:T, but I think Waities was the final straw. I explained in words of 2 syllables or less - £8 off a £40 spend, free mags, paper coffee extra and we need to count as we go. Near the checkout and near £38 I ask him which paper - he chooses the local rag - not enough I'm thinking, but SA is now helping:eek:only 1 mag available, and he is getting, to be polite, I will say anxious!! SS till kept having a spasm, not helped by him lifting the bag up to put things in!!
Coffee machines didn;t work well either - lying down in a darkened room now, but at least the £40.10:eek: worth of shopping only cost me £22.840 -

You are filling me with dread - firstly the thought of being trapped in the house with my OH for a week due to bad weather - at least on holiday I can prop him up in a bar and leave him there.
And secondly of going anyway out of the house - today I left him in Neros while I went to B&M, Joules and the charity shop.
Mine also has to everything explained in words of half a syllable.
As we left the car park a chap was walking just ahead of us - very distinctive and he looked like Captain Birds Eye and I remarked that "he's chancing it a bit".
OH didn't have a clue what I was saying so on the third attempt
"The person walking ahead of us who we followed out of the car park, he wasn't at the ticket machine with you, he is chancing getting a parking fine, leaving his car with no parking ticket on the windscreen"“Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove.

B@gger, thought that was a good deal :mad:
If they can be found at this price - I think the managers in each store decided what stock they have - ours never has nay of the bargains listed on the poundland grabbit thread“Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove.
