Your bags are the reason why I’m wary of buying on line. I like to see what I’m buying. I ordered a child’s tea set for a Christmas present once.....an offer for £1.99 because I’d met a certain level of spending.......it was going to be a Great niece’s Christmas Present. When it arrived it’d have fitted in a dolls house....yet the picture showed a little girl holding it and it didn’t look that small 😂😂😂😂😂 Lesson learned. I’m very wary now.
I was fast asleep at 6.30 this morning 😴😴 I bet it was lovely and quiet in the shop 👍January spends - £587.587 -
To be fair it did say the bags were medium, holding 3 litres, and I didn't really think about just how big a capacity 3 litres is. They won't go to waste.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)7

Have cancelled everything on the list apart from the M&S Premium Club as I'm going to wait to see if they send any decent vouchers for Christmas. I'll cancel straight afterwards. No point for paying out for things I'm not getting any benefit from. I've received the money back from work for the docking station, they are pretty swift at paying out.
Took the dog over to the park but there were quite a few other dogs there and she wanted to come back home. She's ever so silly with other dogs and expects to have the park all to herself. At least I made use of my lunch break by cancelling the memberships.

Not everyone has a "covid-aware" dog. Maybe you have one that can smell an ailment!! Yeah we wish. Can you imagine if one (dog) could! Imagine if you could walk a dog down the high street & it would point out everyone who had the virus? Lockdown would be history. Obvious sci-fi fan here.

Wow! Thanks for that. I missed that. It is amazing what some (or is it all) dogs can sniff out. Just think too, they have a better success rate than any of the methods tried so far.Cherryfudge said:
