    Good morning.

    Potentially a 20% discount on 3bay purchases 12-6 today:

    https://www.hotukdeals.com/vouchers/20-off-on-all-ebaycouk-today-only-2866107

    I haven’t received any emails about this, others may have, so it may or may not work. I am sure it will become clearer later!

    Good morning all

    Well I had a lie in today :j Wont happen too often as I always like the mornings to get stuff done but its still holiday time so a wee excuse

    Was delighted yesterday as I hit asda at whoopsied time 3pm :eek: Was just passing for beans but got enough meat and fish to make dinners for the month for under £10 and I shared with my neighbour I could easily have doubled my haul but no space

    One of kids birthday today so we are going out for dinner She is 4 Whatever happened to pass the parcel and a few fairy cakes :rotfl:

    No luck with AP yesterday Going to try again today as the shops will be much quieter so 10 cheap items through ss

    Enjoy whatever you do

    Good morning all....

    I really hope that Marigold is able to take a little comfort in the messages that have been posted.....reading back I've had a few tears and the odd flicker of a smile at some of the stories...

    I had some wonderful conversations online with Sal over the years and a few PM exchanges around the time of her initial diagnosis following her trip earlier this year to Portugal....I loved her commitment to the thread and her no nonsense approach,but also the fact that she always had time to explain a glitch ....and many a time she went above and beyond to "talk me through the maths " or whatever back in the early days!

    It's important that the thread carries on in all its branches,so please don't be afraid to post a glitch or ask your questions regarding shopping etc,I am sure Sal would say its business as usual...and those that want to share their stories of Sal then please feel free to do that too...

    She has not left us,but joined the Angel elite (and what a fabulous bunch they are)....her spirit will remain and we will continue to remember her fondly whenever and in our own unique way.

    Marigold....your sister touched the lives of many who didn't even know her with her ability and willingness to share her "glitching ways"....

    In my news we are now through christmas....it was as we wanted and just the 3 of us ....the present "tat boxes" were all well received and despite the promise of some proper presents in the sales we have yet to really commit to needing main gifts...although the resolve may slip on Saturday during a visit to the out of town shopping centre.

    Has anyone actually seen anything good in the sales or have we been spoilt by this years glitches?

    cjj .....sweetheart I hope things start looking up for you ....I'm next in line behind DM to give you the biggest hug I can....the actions of others can be very hurtful when they don't understand a situation,but you will come through it stronger in the end....it's not your weakness but theirs in their lack of understanding and compassion
    Always here for you as you know....although I know at the moment I'm falling behind with answering PM's,and that's totally my fault!!!!

    On wards to the day....
    frugal October...£41.82 of £40 food shopping spend for the 2 of us!

    2017 toiletries challenge 179 out 145 in ...£18.64 spend

    I am sorry to hear the news about Sal. Unfortunately this horrible illness gives people no alternative to having to leave us. I've lost too many members of my family to this (one is too many, but you know what I mean) and now we have all lost someone as part of the Elite family. I can only send my condolences to those closest to her - it is a hard time and I am sorry for your loss - and remember that she is now no longer in suffering. Look after yourself and the people around you, it will pull you though even if it seems distant at the moment, and remember the good times that you spent with her. There is little more I can say at the moment (though of course I act as a continuing source of support if anyone needs it while I am here) and I'm sorry to hear this.

    This melted my heart savvy:heart::heart:
