Okay it's tomorrow and I'm writing on the same blog as I posted yesterday because I hate to waste paper :)
Yes my feet were aching after wandering around Meadowhall last night trying my hardest to spend a £50 voucher in one of the Arcadia group stores, BHS, Miss Selfridge, Evans, Outfit, Top Shop, Dorothy Perkins and Wallis. I couldn't find anything that I liked. In fact the only thing that each of us bought was Brazil Nut Toffee from Thornton's.
I still have the voucher for £50 plus another one for £20 which I received as a gift from my employer today, so the sales are going to get a good going over in January It's such a shame that the vouchers didn't work in Russell & Bromley or I would have used them towards a pair of half price court shoes at £165. Christmas present to myself. You know how it goes. Spend and then repent by doing 10 hail Mary's to the recycling Madonna from January onwards. Anyway I didn't buy them so no need for me to turn religious.
£12.99 each for as much as you can eat.
We paid, we ran the buffet and we certainly ate, filling the table a total of three times with different dishes for us to try out. They were all superb.
The food was beautiful, the staff were excellent and I can highly recommend it.
Just as I was about to switch off the computer last night, my friend from Mexico popped up on facebook and we chatted for a while.
I now know what my sealed pot money is going towards, because She invited me to her wedding next August. It will be great to see her again and catch up face to face along with the rest of the girls from the four corners of the world.
At work this morning, myself and Jen popped to Asda for a bottle of wine and had a little drink at midday. I returned to Asda at half past one and got the veg for Christmas day so that's all sorted out. I just need to go and get a few last minute prezzies and some Jalapeno peppers and cream cheese so that I can make some Jalapeno Poppers for tomorrow evening's festivities, wrap the prezzies and that's me done.

J came round so we went to Tesco to do a little bargain hunting. Whilst browsing I spotted a lovely little toy for my Grandson and dropped it into my trolley. It had been reduced from £14.97 down to £9.97.
When I got through the checkout I noticed that I had been charged £15.97 for the toy.
Hi ho Hi ho it's off to customer services we go.
The security guard informed me that customer services closed at 10:45 "Ruddy hell what time is it?" I asked
"Eleven thirty" he replied
Anyhooo I found customer services and explained the problem and asked that I be charged the price displayed or be given my money back because I had been charged £1 more than the original price of £14.97 anyway.
The lady looked at the doodah played with the till, put my card in the slot, refunded me double the difference on their pricing mistake plus my £1 and Tesco ended up paying me £6 to take the toy off their hands.
Ha Ha, Result
I also got 2 tubs of kalamaki olives for 37p
