    Forgot to say, just as we’re moving offices, a new massive B&M has just opened up 5 minutes walk from the current office. We’re not moving far though, maybe 10 minutes walk away, so some future happy lunchtimes rummaging about in there 😃

    Oh and Mr SA has got his biopsy appointment through already -for the first day I’m back at work after the holiday. Typical!

    Still not beat his record of 22 calls in a day - to be fair he was in hospital at the time recovering from a brain bleed and not of sound mind - but still 😱

    It’s a real treat to get to b&m as it’s a 60 mile round trip, but once I’m in there it takes time and patience to coax me out of the sweetie aisle 😂

    I shall perhaps have to give that store another go. There's one about a mile from us on the way into town, but on the very few occasions I've been in there, I haven't been impressed. I didn't think the food prices were particularly cheap & didn't think the household stuff was any better than other cheap stores in town. I now think I must be missing something! It's a long time since I visited. Perhaps I should give it another go.

    I'm with you on that one. We have far better "cheap" shops in the town centre than B&M.
