Thanks. Yes, this is what I've always done in the past, so I did think it was odd but then thought maybe it had changed. I may just try again tmrw.
Off to Maroon 5 and Wimbledon next week! Any other Elites going to Wimbledon? I seem to remember there were a few of us went last year πΎπ₯π
I went to Wimbledon last year but no luck in the ballot this year sadly. Iβll be glued to the tv though !
The chat made me look at returns this morning, could have 2 tkts on court 1 final Saturday. Got those in the 2019 ballot. It was juniors final followed by Andrew Castle + other oldies clowning around. Another that will have to find some sitting down jobs for the next 2 weeks,
Need to check the weather as I have just finished a washing Worst case it will go in conservatory then the TD to finish it off Helps with any creases
Enjoy the trips to London etc and the tennis if you are attending Me I will just watch it on TV
Another day of having no great purpose The house is remarkably tidy due to all the decluttering and I shopped yesterday There is only so much food two people can eat
DH has a cucumber plant growing in the shed !!! To me its like something from Jack and the Beanstalk Will try for a picture later Have to say lettuce, rocket and pea shoots from the garden are lovely
Just got a text. BOC are coming to service the oxygen equipment tomorrow. Er I gave the equipment back a year ago when DH passed and I informed them of his passing. I really hate it when things like this happens. Had the same when my mum died. About a week before, was in the process of getting someone to sit with her for an hour or so, so I could have a little break and walk my dog. Informed them of mum passing. Few months later, get an email asking how Im getting on with the sitting service.
Anyway, in lighter news. Anyone looked at BBC online weather tonight. Winter has returned big time
I had the same, after my mum died, she died in hospital, and the consultant phoned and said he wanted to see her...... I said shes downstairs in the mortuary then. He couldnt get off the phone quick enough.
We had all my dads oxygen stuff collected then months later they turned up demanding it when they already had it.
Travelling down to London on Monday to queue on Tuesday, Wimbledon deffo not money saving! But will have my AMEX card with me for any deals they have.
Same as us! I'll wave to the queue ππ»
The weather looks ok so at least it won't be baking to be in the queue for you.
Yes, there was an Amex offer last year, trying to remember what it was - maybe a radio ear set. I got my card for the US Open as they have lots of offers there for Amex. Trying to persuade DH that we need to go to the US Open again this year, but he's moaning about the exchange rate being rubbish, but we could wait a while for that to recover, so I think we should just go! πΎ
That's a Badger Sarah, think they are playing the market falling game offering so long after viewing. Yes the market is different, we need to ride the storm, some houses going straight away at a high valuation, others competitive and lingering π€·. Was it the classic 10% under?

Yes.... its so annoying. We havnt got much on the market round here in this price bracket, and the next areas, are not as nice, they have factories by them, just not as nice an area.
Im holding out, im not dropping for stupid money though. To be honest, we are in a good position if the rates keep going higher, we have even said we might not sell and just rent it out. Things have changed in the 6 months since we put it on. So its a watch and wait game really.
A little bit niche but a cracking club card price if you have a cyclist in your life
Β£7 seems extortionate to me for 10 little bars! Are they only for cyclists then? π€£
It is extortionate Josie but the cheapest I've seen in ages. Half the price of Amazon. I usually get excited when I look on eBay and see them for a fiver and quickly realise it's only one barπ±π± There was a box the other week that I bid on and they went for Β£17.99. It makes no sense at all. I make flap jacks, I buy flapjacks, I buy protein bars when they are on offer but these are the bees knees. A one bite snack good for when you are racing.
Have popped upstairs but returned, sitting on my hands, yes I would like some wine but the more I have in the house the more I drink, some people have that problem with chocolate π

You can get a 3 month trial membership for Β£15 - today is the last day - its an individual membership. It gives free entry to numerous places, some are National Trust so if you dont have NT membership this is a saving in itself. Also 50% off other places
Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove. Every day will allow you, will invite you to add something to the pleasure of others,or to diminish something of their pains

Maybe Lenny Henry? Or did he have the sack π€π€£
Is it just me thats not bothered about the wine, cant stand the stuff.
I got loads of bottles Never touch the stuff It comes in handy for teachers gifts etc and DH wanted a load when there was a glich on Amazon He was going to "gift" it to custmoners as/when he retired He never got round to gifting it so we are left with way to many
I went to ikea and then the CS Got a half crispy aromatic roast duck with pancakes for my dinner Was planning a chippy but this will be tastier Very disappointing at the CS today A few weeks ago it was great but some you win some you lose

Thanks for this. Turns out the NT free entry from a few months ago ran out today π. This may be useful for us visiting Chatsworth House next week. It gives 50% off entry but not sure if I buy a ticket just for the Garden and not the House (cos of πβπ¦Ί) am I still gonna get 50% off π€ . Off to read a bit more.
PSA: energy prices are going down tomorrow (unless you are on a fixed deal), so Martin is advising people to send a meter reading today/ tomorrow/ whenever. Also if you have a prepayment meter you should add a small sum tomorrow to switch you over to the cheaper rate.
