    I verily probably could do that, thanks Elidee! Although i'm still working my way thru the 1000's of tags i seem to have left over from last year! So might be next years tags!

  • I have to confess that for breakfast I put the last 3 slices of yellow sticker bread I had in the toaster and when it popped up I noticed there was a small mould patch on the edge of each piece.........so I chopped off the edge on each piece and ate the rest........:o

    Oh, the days of gay abandon when in the past I wouldn't have even bothered with yellow sticker bread and I regularly let a lovely Tesco Finest bells and whistles unsliced granary loaf go all stale, throw it away without a care in the world and then buy another one to go towards my £25,000 debt............:rolleyes: :p

    Off to pull the breadmaker out of the cupboard...........:rotfl:

  • No Wilkos here.... I'll try semi chem, or maybe just go back to somerfields and get a more expensive box... i might even take them back to the shop if i am going to buy them there.... doubt i have a reciept though.... okay as long as i go to customer services first i guess, i only want an exchange...

    I'm not having much luck with £1 purchases this week. I keep getting seduced by the price tag and getting it home and finding it's pants.

    I bought a top last week in ASda for £1 in the reduced rails, it was a red smock-y type top thing, when i got it home i looked like Santa's sack in it! Waste of £1.

    Then at the weekend i bought a pinafore dress type thing for me, thinking it would be nice for work, but when i got it home it made me look like a christmas pudding!

    Now these £1 cards....

    I think i'm trying to make up for the fact that i bought G an ipod on my next account............ there you go, i've confessed! sorry all! Shoot me now!!!!

  • well, was too cold to have cereal and have run out of bread so have just proceeded to strip the chocolate decorations off the tree and eat them. Going to have to go to Tescos to get some more before DD comes home because I made such a fuss about her touching them LOL
