Thank you all ☺️ I am enjoying being with DS and gf, puppy dog and golden girl and meeting up with friends. 

Just thought I would share if you join t0by carvery club online (or get the app) you get a voucher for 25% off food (t&c’s apply). I met with a friend who I have known 37 years since I first moved down south and we had a lovely catch up and a roast 😋 We sat in the bar after our meal and kept topping up our refillable soft drinks, total food and drinks was £10.16 each. Then we had a mooch round the shops. 

Other good news I finally got the £20 cashback for changing my gas & electric supplier via mse cheap energy club 🤗

Great to see you back Skinty!!! It is so good to catch up with old friends and family.  That's a great deal at Tobi, will definitely check that out as we have one close by. Good news on the cashback,  all these little offers do add up!. Octopus do a £50 credit if you get another person to sign up. A neighbour did this and we both got the £50. Pays to keep an eye out. Enjoy the rest of your stay xxx

Have had a lovely meal out with my friend from work who I’ve known since after maternity leave (her daughter has terminal cancer at 32 😢) very emotional but also lots of laughter and chat. 

Just to mention that harvester also has 25% off on their website so we had main, salad, dessert & 2 drinks for £20.20 each. 

I have a day to myself tomorrow so I may go get some new jeans and I have offered to do a tip run for DS and gf. They will need to tell me what to take and I will need to book a slot.

Thank you Chrystal, Tresinia and Suze for your kindness and support.
