First they only paid mr £3 for the cream cheese survey and they are now saying that my kellogs cornflakes was an invalid submission🤔🤔
I've emailed them😡
In my experience they take a REALLY long time to reply 🙄.
Evening everyone! We finally got home this evening after 24 nights away! It does feel nice to be on my own sofa after so long camping 😆. The garden has gone crazy whilst we've been away and has turned into a jungle. On the plus side the raspberries are ripe! There isn't even any point in unpacking the camping stuff as we're going away camping this weekend, and the following weekend!
We camped near Droitwich Spa last night which isn't somewhere I'd been to before. Today we walked from the campsite to a NT house; Hanbury Hall. I was going to use that free day out pass but when I asked in the house where to buy tickets the woman in there said we didn't need one. Very odd as it had shown prices on the website.
Anyway, the most exciting part was on our walk back, and I spotted a Little Owl clinging onto the bark at the base of an oak tree. I'd never seen one before! It stayed absolutely motionless and just watched as we walked past, within a couple of metres of it.
I have done something wrong on facebook market place, no idea what but apparently I have been banned, with the right for a review that will take 7 days. AFAIK I haven't done anything dodgy in the least.

I have had a bit of a fiasco with Vinted 😱.......I listed an unwanted gift for £10. Someone asked me questions about it, and offered me £6. I was a bit curious, and did a bit of research, and found it on Amazon for 3 figures 😱......I quickly hid the listing, (thanks for the hint Mhoc), but someone still managed to buy it, so I cancelled the sale. I'm sure I will be banned before I have even got started 😢
I have made a big mess in the bedroom, by emptying out all my shoes. But, I do feel a bit lighter knowing that some are listed for sale, some are in the charity bag and some in the bin. For some reason I have many pairs of Sketchers all the same, or similar, and a few odd shoes 🙄
The irony is, I spent my eBay money on a pair of Doc Martens 🙄
New thread, thank you. I'm AWOL until Monday and haven't caught up but popped into Wilco this morning. I bought some gladioli bulbs 35% off (plant up to and including June) and they went through at 30p. I went back and bought other bulbs in the 35% off display and they also went through at 30p. Fill your boots!
Thanks for this I went this morning & got an assortment of flower bulbs between 15p & 35p a pack 😊
I’m so pleased. I’ve not caught up from the old thread yet (I’ve been away) but was sorry that no-one had picked this up from this new one. I’m delighted you did - it’s not often I find things.
I've been awake for the last. 2 hrs. Had a bad dream and it woke me up. Good job not working tomorrow! Ironically, although dream wasn't about work, it was clearly about work lol.
Will. Put kettle on for anyone else up and then let roma brew up when I finally pass out.

Morning MW!
I’ve put the kettle back on for any other early birds.
Made the mistake of telling the girl child that you could make ice cream out of bananas. She now requires an empty ice cream cone in order to eat one. Not quite what I meant 🤦
Good morning Elite. Hoping everyone is warm, happy and well. Hugs to those not so. Thank you for the many cups of early coffee - much needed! Nice to see Bob showing support in your absence Sleazy. 😂 Bet WiFi was thrilled! Have a good day peeps.
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Good morning everyone. TM, the Asda app started in some stores last year. The missions were more generous on the first trial as I know I did quite well when I got the items for the xmas raffle by choosing certain bottles of wine which were on offer for 6 for £25 and also £1.50 back on app per bottle if you chose wisely. I also bought a lot of branded gift cards for a spend we were doing in B&Q anyway, using Asda gift cards that I had already which added on to my total releasing the gold spend mission. I think I cashed out over £20 for the above from memory. You seem to get a lot less on this 2nd trial for the missions.
We have been awake since 4:30 am when Resident Teen put the volume of his TV up really loud 😱 DH elicited a Sorry, but I just unplugged the router 😡
Gave up on sleep about 5:30 and made a banana traybake.
Router now back on, and having a sit down and another cup of tea. DH is grumpy. Considering vacuuming outside Resident Teens room later 🤣🤣🤣
College course has finished for the summer, and it seems his plan is to game all night and sleep all day.......not good if you have Type 1 Diabetes. .......we had tickets for Jurassic Park yesterday, but he wouldn't get up, so we missed it ☹️ Sorry to moan, but they told us fostering would be fun, and this just isn't 😱

Have a lovely day 🙂
Who told you fostering teenagers would be fun?
All but 1 family I know that fostered has had a really hard time and that 1 was 15 years ago and they had siblings.
Do you have Foster support groups? It's such a hard job and why there is a shortage, the lack of support I mean. You're an amazing family to do it. Xxxx

Alarm went off at 6 I snoozed 3 times lol matt just brought me my 2nd coffee, had energy vit fizzy and my hand full of meds.
Latest update on my injuries . Face is improving every day . Still in agony though .I'm ok in bed but as soon as I put any weight on my leg after a couple of steps it's starts hurting again. Managed to make my coffee and toast this morning AND carry them upstairs . You see hubby's disabled and can only do so much. It's like the blind leading the blind.
. You know of my other problem don't you well the other day after taking strong painkillers I was acquainted with it again 😱. Imagine the scenario if you will it was like a comic book strip. You couldn't make it up. I was in a right state in more than one ways than one. I ll leave it at that lol.
We actually have some sun so I might hobble out there later and enjoy it. Onwards and upwards.

Good morning all, lovely and sunny here.
Thank you for the cuppa, not sure which one I grabbed but it was nice.
Houseelf, you definitely need to vacuum outside resident teen's door, but you also need to knock the door a few times with it. Chances are it won't disturb him one bit but you will feel better for it. Had the same problem with my son, he preferred being awake all night and sleeping all day. Soon put an end to that though, there are various threats you can use with your own kids that you can't use with foster kids.
Em, sorry but I was really chuckling at the idea of your other problem reasserting itself whilst you can hardly move Not a pleasant experience but sounds like something out of a Carry On film
What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare
Good morning and Happy Monday everyone. The sun is shining this morning. Thanks for the tea Roma, helping myself to a coffee now. Have a good day everyone.
Thank you for the cuppa Roma and yes elaine, it's gorgeous out there.
just been reading chatmums energy post upstairs. It makes good reading🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
im going to be living out of the freezer this week. I never did a whoopsie run yesterday. However I did pop to asda at the weekend to try out my Blue Light card🤗🤗🤗🤗They have some large tins of Pek at the entrance. I got a few as DS's girlfriend loves Spam. Is Spam and Pek nearly the same? They use it a lot in the Philippines. It's often used in a breakfast dish with rice. A left over from the Americans using it big style after the war.
anyway it's on offer for £1 a tin.
just a thought.
As prices are increasing, it might be worthwhile posting about good prices for weekly staples. eg I buy a 6 pack of crisps every week for lunches. I usually get seabrook but will happily buy anything really. I noticed in Heron they have gone down to a 5 pack. 😕
If anyone sees cheap crisps please post. And any other one offs for stuff we buy weekly. We might then be able to " bulk buy" which will cut down on petrol too.🤗🤗
Pek and spam aren't really the same thing although perhaps not miles away. I love Pek! Might have to stock up. I need to get some Asda BTS cards actually and move all my balances over.
I'd got some of those Seabrooks in M's and was sure they were a £1 last time, but noticed at the weekend, they were £1.30 so yes echo the cheap crisps please.
On Morrisons More app, I have £2 off sweets or chocolates for Fathers Day. From past experience, this will likely give £2 off even if you spend less than that on sweets or chocolates, so will come off other shopping.
I popped on the m thread with a nice little bar of chocolate 🤫

It's either laugh or cry Enterprise isn't it. It certainly wasn t a pleasant experience lol

Too true. I remember when I had what I think was norovirus quite a few years ago. The washing machine has never worked so hard

This looks like it could be a handy gadget to have. £19.99 for an electric grater with 5 attachments. I have something similar but the hand crank version and it’s so much easier than using the box grater. Electric would be *grate* for anyone with hand/wrist issues as well.
