    I am never going to catch up with you lot so Happy Bank Holiday everyone. Just off to pick up my new laptop that's supposed to be in today. I am going to calmly create if it's not there. So if you hear of a lady in a well known electrical store staging a sit in and refusing to leave the store till she gets her laptop, It's me:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Good luck, sorry the QPR massive (thats all of us, not just me :)) are busy today

    Hi

    carolinabirichina - female - 54 (widowed at 52) - east Kent

    Looks like I am the only East Kent person *sob*

    I am in Medway but Westw00d is my fav store when I can get there (only been there twice!) shame it has no price checkers though. Was tempted to pick my son up from margate yesterday just to have an excuse to go and try the J2O !

    Whitst@ble is quite good I find!

  • Morning all :D

    Just contemplating a little trip to T's, kinda tired after last night.

    Forgot to mention I seen the Chuggington sets have reappeared, but with a SEL of £12.97 :eek::eek: Don't know if they are still scanning cheap though, I didn't check, might be worth a look if anyone was still looking for them :D
    ...those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

    There's a fork in the road, which way will you go
    You standing still or will you step into the great unknown,
    Is yours to decide, this is your life.

    Morning everyone,

    Not sure if this has been posted before, but we needed some batteries for our electronic scales so did a google search and thanks to OP on HUKD found

    Energizer 2032 batteries 35p at Ts petrol stations.

    OH went this morning and got some SEL said 35p but they scanned through at £6.90 for 2 packs, so SA overrode till to reduced price. Not sure whether petrol stations do DTD.

    Also according to same OP on HUKD there were some LR44 batteries 28p I think but not 100%.

    Anyone been to Sainsbobs yet OP on grabbit reported christmas stuff going through 70% off. :)

    So behind catching up so hope not missed anything, did find flycatchers, scotch brite heavy duty grill scrubbers, spongtex flexi soft, scotch brite easy eraser, croc odours, oust iron cleaning pads all scanning 1p. Thanks to all the OPs :T

    DO you not have to pay taxes etc with avios though? I'm not really sure how they work, and their website's not the most helpful for the casual visitor, but I do remember people on MSE complaining when it changed from air miles.

    not too sure tbh.
    Found this on the Lloyds TSB credit card website.

    These flight examples are based on a Reward Flight Saver – that means you pay the Avios fare + £27pp return (and Avios will cover your airline taxes, fees and charges
