We stayed up watching Sherlock and now I'm wide awake. I'm unimpressed! 😂

At least we finally made it to thread 2...I doubt we will do as many this year!

Woolly how about these? www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/summer-berry-meringues

Puss they look amazing. However someone DH doesn't eat meringues. Or raspberries. bangs head on table

Will they eat cornflakes and chocolate? bung some mini-eggs in the middle?

or you need to LTF leave the family 😉🙄

Hi folks. I have just fixed my favourite pair of glasses that broke a few weeks ago. I feel like I should upgrade myself to an engineer now 🤣

Afternoon everyone. YAYY in the 200's. Bit gloomier day here, dry but not much sun.

Congratulations on the school Wreck Hope you get a chance to have a good sleep tonight, had horrible nightmares all night last night, kept waking up and going back into them. Do suffer with bad dreams though.

Oooh love trifle Crazy

Hello everyone!! How are we all, I have been hitting refresh all day in the hope that somewhere gets PS5's in stock for Connor's birthday on the 19th, he will be 15!! It's also Mum's birthday on the 29th and she will be 60, but I have no idea what to get her.

Have you signed up to Stock Informer, @CauliflowerCheese30? Might save your index finger! 😂

I'd forgotten your mum was so far behind our dad, as he's 71 in just over a week. To be honest, the general order of birth gets hazy after him! 🙈😂

Cauliflower is your mum the sentimental type? My sister was 60 last month and her favourite present was a keepsake necklace from her children with family photos etched into a locket style pendant. I wear a necklace with rings engraved with my children's names and SIL has one with her children's fingerprints on the pendants. There's a rose called Fab at 60 if she's a gardener.

Can't help with the PS5 I'm afraid - I'm naively hoping DS never asks for an upgrade from his PS4 😬

Ds has finally figured out that it could be the PS4 that is causing the internet issues and the lagging and not actually our internet!! I was thinking of a necklace, but I really like the sound of the rose, she could put it in my nephews garden.

I'm not asking my brother to contribute, Fluffy will understand why

God, don't even frustrate yourself with that option, Cauliflower! 😂

Does the PS4 need an update or something?

I don't think so, he's pretty clued up on all that stuff, He's taller than Lee now Fluffy, 6ft 3!!

Cauliflower I think your mum would love the rose.

I think so too why, and it was lovely to see you the other day, even if it was at work

This is the one that my sister got - unfortunately it's out of stock at present but they seem to come back in quite quickly.

I'm going to get her one when it's back in stock, thank you Woolly.

I loved seeing you Cauliflower. A shame it was not out for a cuppa and cake but work is the next best thing.

Morning!

I'm tired. I was awake for a while overnight, for no apparent reason. 💤

I need to get up. It's tricky!

Ffs just accidentally moved my TopCashback money into the rewards wallet instead of getting a bacs payment. Have raised a support ticket so hopefully they'll move it back for me. I googled it and it seems to be a common issue.

Dd has an orthodontist appointment today it's miles away so I have to take her there then all the way back to school then another 20 odd miles to work 🤯

I've done that before, and they've swapped it back for me, Wreck.

I withdrew some yesterday and paid off my Next account with it. I've another £106.09 waiting to become payable.

Sounds like you'll be going round in circles a bit today!

Oh great I'm pleased to hear that. It was over £200 and I want to put it into my savings account.

I really will! Work was really busy yesterday too. Lots of elderly people having falls.

Good morning, Argos apparently had stock of the PS5 at 5am, I am not a 5AM person so I'm never going to get one at that time!!

Nearly live lesson time, roll on Monday.

Afternoon.
The rose is pretty. Is there an independent Nursery or Garden Centre near you Cauli ? you could phone them and see if they can plant up a nice pot for her if the rose isn't back in stock in time.
Woolly did you decide on a pudding, or are you just going to make what you fancy and build a bigger patio ignore them. 😉
