Great title wolf

Love the title & the people of this thread

Yesterday's spends €2.20 parking, €4 soup, €45.17 on soft & hard beverages!!

[LonelyOversharer]

Thanks wolf if it's just the bladder, I'd look on amazon or ebay for spares type people. We had camelbaks in the shop but they are ££ and sold 2 in 6 yrs!

Just had a nap! Gotta love sundays, the girls have foraged for lunch (kitchen bursting with food), so all quiet here.

[CurvyInAllTheWrongPlaces]

Thanks for the new thread wolf, you can get bladders in sports direct for about £10

[CurvyInAllTheWrongPlaces]

Wolf outdoor value has a 2ltr for £2.69

Right must get back to tidying

We've been out for lunch, my mum paid and it was very nice so that's good.

Neck hurting again and now getting cramp in my arms - feel like such a wreck! Am lying down for a bit.

Thanks for the new thread wolf

Thanks for the new thread 😀

[Wolfcub]

Thanks folks, bladder ordered, I’d like to see ds try and drink 2l of water mind you, it’s a fight to get a cup down him a day usually

[SummerDaize]

Thanks for the thread Wolf.

For a moment there I thought someone needed bladder replacement surgery. Eeek!

I have spent no money today. Woohoo!

Thanks for the new thread wolf

I just found a big spider sitting in bed next to me. That was a bit surprising.

[Bornlazy]

Summer I would have had a heart attack Was it a slow spider

[SummerDaize]

As a matter of fact it was a dead spider.

There's been a fair bit of that lately though. The other day I had an actual lie in, in bed, and had to get up finally because a spider ran up my arm twice. And a few weeks ago I was sitting up in the night pondering and a bit spider ran up my arm.

Oddly, I don't seem to mind. I think I have bigger fish to fry these days and spiders just don't register any more.

[SummerDaize]

I've just spent the whole day lying in bed and now have to saddle up to go to this orchestra thing. Will you cross your fingers for me? I'm hoping that if I can find the building then not much more will be expected of me on a first visit.

€8.65 on ice cream chocolate and crisps, hangover munchies, back to mfp & Team Rh now

[Fluffycloudland77]

£5 aldi but i'll get £2.29 back on a refund.

lonely When asda run out of items on offer instore they used to give you a voucher to buy it at the offer price on a later date. If you emailed customer services they might do the same for you buy refunding the difference on your next shop.

If you register with mysupermarket theres a function to track the price of items and they email you when it goes on offer.

Afternoon.

I've been out all day so missed the discussions...

I'll catch up now, but I'm £25 up. I won my age group at the half marathon I ran today. I spent so many years not being able to run due to my back, and I never thought I'd get back to the level I ran at before. I'm close to it now. Means a lot, running was my life outside my family.

Sorry, don't mean that to sound smug. Or bragging. I'm buzzing though!!

And knackered, made the dc walk the dogs, clean the chickens and make tea, I'm watching Escape to the Country. 

[Fluffycloudland77]

Thanks Wolf.

[Justanothermile]

I copied that post from the the other thread.

I adore that title!

[mammynowanauntyIRL]

Well done jam you should brag that's a fantastic achievement

[thistimenextsummer]

Ooh I love a good read! Thanks for all the recommendations. I've recently read Eleanor Oliphant. It didn't appeal to me at all but was highly recommended so I gave it a go. Loved it. Sobbed for the last few chapters.

Almost had a frugal disaster this morning when I realised that an amazon voucher I ordered earlier in the week was still in the cardboard packaging in the recycling box - recycling day is tomorrow

We've had a spendy, albeit planned, day out today. Took my niece as well to give my sister a well earned break. We went to the seaside and spent:
£3.50 parking, £2 coffee for me, £24 lunch, £7.50 donkeys, £8 arcades, £5 icecreams. Think I've totalled that at £50. A day's entertainment for 6 is ok with me.

Well done Jam

Yes its been an interesting day .

Im knitting for a bit,outside but the minute the sun goes I will be in as its getting chilly in the evenings now.

[Wolfcub]

Well done a Jam. Good luck Summer

[Fluffycloudland77]

North Would you consider a second hand spinner? it's the sort of thing to come up in house clearance's and flu season is coming up.

JAM Well done. A half marathons a serious athletic achievement at any age.


Flu vaccinations should be available soon , last years cheapest vaccination was asda for £5. It's cheaper than a bout of flu. I think the earliest they do it is first week in October for non risk groups.

[LonelyOversharer]

Grape hyacinths are my number one bulb. Probably not sorted the garden enough this year for bulbs, but one day...

Just doing tea. Can't beat sausages, roasted (home grown) spuds, roasted veggies and yorkshire puds. Saved 2 eggs to make buns tonight, and I'd better make some flapjack!

Nsd so far (theres always time).

Thanks fluff I'll try an email for the dog food. Already use my supermarket but didn't know I could set alerts so thanks.
