I have had quiet a few of these holiday breaks some were 5 days for £99 these are usually late autumn & early new year dates My History club like these £99 trips away. <br />We have a Brighthouse store near me but I wouldnt touch it, some people do not look into the real cost and its usually the people who live on benefits etc who seem to frequent these shops. People do not seem to save for things they want these days I save and get nothing I can not afford and often find I really could do without whatever I was saving for. I enjoyed your Blackpool days Ilona how time flies. Like many I shred everything that can not go in the compost bin. Best be safe than sorry<br />Danneke Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-84467911486767224722013-04-21T18:36:02.373+01:002013-04-21T18:36:02.373+01:00I have been delivering chuffin' leaflets today...I have been delivering chuffin' leaflets today.john bainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15624118202659480062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-16871298320885945052013-04-21T17:27:55.984+01:002013-04-21T17:27:55.984+01:00We also remove our names and addresses from all ma...We also remove our names and addresses from all mail before putting it out for recycling, and yes, you have to look carefully to make sure you catch it all. We shred the pieces we remove with an electric shredder we got for 1/2 price a while back. The shredded stuff then also goes into the recycling. It's a cross shredder and the pieces that come out of it are tiny so I'd like to see anyone try and go through the bag and glue all that together to discover our details. We have a Brighthouse here too. The prices are extortionate and I wouldn't use them no matter how desperate I was. Good for Charlie; I hope he enjoys his new home and his owners get as much pleasure from him as we do from our two moggies. Oh, and your curry looks yummy.<br />Helenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04963972925920465515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-27969362973540962822013-04-21T16:59:48.245+01:002013-04-21T16:59:48.245+01:00Ruth here.

People watch the telly/read magazines/visit friends etc and they are brainwashed into thinking that they must have the latest sofa/telly/washing machine etc. Except they can't afford it (i.e they haven't got the money saved up)<br />So they go to those awful places like Brighthouse/Perfect Homes or whatever and pay through the nose for them.<br />Makes my blood boil-but they seem to be very popular. Go figure!<br />Quite right too about taking your name of your mail before you put it in the recycling-identity theft is big business apparently.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-52440616238678717552013-04-21T14:50:34.549+01:002013-04-21T14:50:34.549+01:00I really dislike the Brighthouse shops.

I have to fight the urge to stop the people who go in them, I want to give them a shake and say stop, you don't need a flat screen tv !!!<br /><br />Its always nice to hear about a successful rehoming, lucky Charlie.<br /><br />Aldi do a nice Merlot called Grapevine for only £2-99.

I live in a smallish town where there used to be nice shops on the main street (high street). I used to be able to shop there for almost everything I needed when my kids were young. There were nice clothing stores, shoe stores, green grocer, etc. Now there are at least 3 dollar stores. I like dollar stores and find them to be great for certain things but who needs 3 of them in the same town? There are also places to cash checks that charge you a fee or loan you money before you get paid and then you owe them that money plus hefty finance charges. There is also a pawn shop. The rest of the town has remained nice but that main street has changed so much that it's unrecognizable. I feel bad for the small store owners because they can't survive.Kearnygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01429493116809940852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-35036648213179368582013-04-21T13:07:24.541+01:002013-04-21T13:07:24.541+01:00Hello Iloma from House fairy

I love pastry.<br /><br />I think the rescue cats will be happy and thank full of your purchase of Whiskas.Would one of your own 3 cats not eat it?<br /><br />The Warner weekend break is costly :(<br />I have just started looking into a mid week break for 2 adults and 1 large dog.<br />In the lead for my booking at the moment is Camber sands with Park resorts. It makes me sad that they charge £30 for 5 nights per dog. I bet the dog does not get any thing.<br />I would like to be given a goody bag = few treats and dog toy.It would make me more inclined to chose to stay with them.<br /><br />Nearly put have you been watching the London marathon this morning, I have just remembered you have no TV. Perhaps you will see a bit on catch up.<br />I watched for 2 hours wile knitting my 3rd cardi. This one is in a coral colour.I found the wool in the loft when we had a clear out.<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-2420207590145883602013-04-21T10:18:46.886+01:002013-04-21T10:18:46.886+01:00Nice to hear the cat has a new home.

Went to shops near where I grew up recently and was so sad to see that there were several of those cash exchange ones, takeaways and slot machine places now amongst the proper veg shops, charity, food shops etc. really makes the place look rundown but not that long ago was thriving for family shopping but now turned into bedsits and let houses so standard of area slipped and shop lets have too. Very sad. <br />Always shred our paper ever since some firm rang and asked to speak to someone who I know of but whose grandparents live opposite. We also received post for him with our address on it too. Didnt like to think he was applying using our address for something but have checked our credit info and nothing shows up but was odd at the time. I always tick no communication when applying or filling in forms as well but the rubbish post still comes!

I guess they don't think single people eat. I also find that single diners don't always get very good service either, guess they think I won't tip well. Well I don't if I don't get good service. <br />So glad Charlie has a new home, I passed a stand where a rescue was having adoptions today of dogs and cats, I would have gotten a cat if I didn't already feed three!Recycled Cottage & Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13209720538924091082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-4080234090501707532013-04-21T00:54:44.797+01:002013-04-21T00:54:44.797+01:00Junk mail makes a great fire starter.
