Evening everyone :-)

I actually managed to get to Sain*****'s tonight. Very disappointed as they had very few gift bags left, but lots of paper. I was quite annoyed to see boxes and boxes of them lining the wall as I was packing my shopping at the checkout. A fat lot of good they are there!! I want to see what they've got before I go through the checkout :-| :-| :-|

That store has changed drastically over the last 12 months and I am not likely to be shopping there very often now. There's no wonder I never have a problem parking!!

I did manage to get some of what I needed, so will have to search the stuff in the loft now for the rest and buy a couple more gift bags at the local post office.

He has said years ago that I won't be able to leave footprints in the snow because my arse would wipe them out, I was very skinny back then. We both have both have a weird sense of humour.

Hubby often calls me smart arse cos I say things like that but as I said before if something starts with smart it usually isn't and I can't see my arse anyway lol.

No I haven't ZZzzz, there is so much to organise in her everyday life and making the arrangements for her Mum's funeral must be keeping her very busy. I am sure she will look in and let us know how she is when she is ready bless her <3

Has anyone heard from Maz, I realise she may not want to be on here for a while but just wondering how she is really.

Nite nite YG, sleep well, see you tomorrow :-D <3.

We have always been careful with utility uses so we don't have huge bills

Mine needs to come back down, but it doesn't look as though we will be returning to the office for anytime soon, so I need to try to restrict the water usage!

I am off to bed now, LG.

Sleep well and have a good day tomorrow :-) <3

We have had a water meter for a few years now but it was our choice, it is the electric smart meter we won't have because we already do stuff to reduce the usage and we have a gas tank in the garden so we order that when we need it.

LaGooner Report 16 Nov 2021 21:53

I do have a water meter and that is cheaper for us now that the kids have left home.

YG

YG Report 16 Nov 2021 21:50

I'm not very smart then, cos I've got one!! I have to admit though that it reduced my water bill significantly when I had it fitted. The bill has risen because I am at home all the time now instead of being in the office, so more cuppas, washing etc.

By the way YG you really wouldn't have liked being a fly on the wall, you would have peed your pants laughing.

We don't have a smart meter as we are smart enough without one :-D :-D :-D

Ah ha just had a brain wave the batteries could be buried in the coal mines. :-D

It all bully boy tactics so " they" get what they want like with smart meters in our homes, we don't have one and don't intend to have one and they can't make us.
