    And in other news we were in Waitrose this morning and the tills were spitting out conditional spends £6 wys £30 with about 2 weeks expiry on them :j so I got 2 of them :D

    So it might be worth doing a small purchase first to see if you get one before tackling a big list.

    As its totally unlikely that I would be spending £30 I went in search of people in Waitrose with trolley loads but mostly people seemed to be doing basket shops. I managed to find one couple about to do through SS and one lady in the biscuit section with big enough shopping loads so I passed the conditional spends along - my random good deed for the day done :)

    Well done Mhoc:T:T:T

    Cakes out the oven, one for customer tomorrow:D

    Hi Hampy :wave:
    Hope you are ok?
    That the sort of rice i use:T:T but still have some instock and seriously trying to use stuff up:o


    Hiya bubbs :wave:

    Yep, I'm good thanks - hope you are too :D

    I'm the same, supposed to be clearing down the cupboards but the rice doesn't take up a lot of room, or so I told DH :o

    Have sold so much stuff the past few weeks on eBay, furniture, pictures, ornaments. We are literally living with minimal stuff and the cardboard boxes are closing in on us :rotfl:. Looked at a house from the outside to rent yesterday, we will hopefully only be in it 4-5 months and hoping to get a 6 month let. If we can only get 12 months we will just have to pay a fee to vacate early.

    Our builder said apart from footings he's dug for new builds, he's never had to do so much ground work :eek: I've given up vacuuming every day to keep on top of it, but why am I the only one who takes my shoes off when I come in, the amount of mud that's getting walked in is an actual joke. I'm actually looking forward to moving out and letting them get on with it :rotfl:

    I have done that before - Some appreciated it, others looked at me as though they were about to call security for assistance :eek:

    Anon

    I am always very nervous of doing this but so far Ive had a good response - the ladies I spoke to today seemed to be genuinely taken aback, the biscuit section lady seemed almost relieved - a random stranger giving them £6
    You never can tell
    Waitrose seem to be very keen to give me conditional spends so when I am walking round now I am estimating the value of peoples trolleys incase I do get conditional spends :D

    Just back in my hotel room. Went home and hung out the towels I had washed at Mums and they dried before the weather changed. I went around having the house and got down a few cobwebs ( don't want the assessor thinking i'm a complete slob.) Lounge carpet very wet still but I took up all the towels as I don't want it to dry out completely before he comes. Noticed when I left the lounge door wont close now as it is obviously warped by the water. Kitchen , hall and shower ceilings in a bad way and my bedroom wall and the stair wall very damp. I had most of the windows open when I was there to let some air in.
    Booked the hotel for tommorow night but if he says I can go home I can cancel up to 1.00pm.
    Just reading Sunday papers and relaxing now I have had a throbbing head all day.

    You poor love, this sounds like a very long job but once the assessor has been you will have a better idea of what happens next ...

    Just 2 miles down the road so near enough to keep an eye on our house refurb. TBH, I'm used to living on a building site, this is the 4th renovation we've done. The last one we did we moved out while they crashed it out, the first 2 we lived through it. Much easier for the builders if we move out and this time time we defo can't stay here while it's being done :rotfl:

    Rose I'm so sorry to read about your flood, I really feel for you. Let's hope it gets sorted out real soon and you can get back to normal :)
