    Good [STRIKE]Morning[/STRIKE] afternoon everyone. Cloudy and yck here (and that's just me :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:).

    Quite funny reading about the lovebirds and the cat. We have a 17 year old cockatiel, used to have two but the other one was female and seemed to do everything at double speed, flying, eating, biting (:eek:) and everything else.

    Anyway, we used to come in and found out that they had somehow got out of the cage , proper parrot cage. They never did it when we were in the room so we set up the camcorder. Jim used to lift the side door to let Rosie out, then Rosie would hold it open for Jim :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. I would challenge anyone that says birds are dumb :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    A small , carefully calculated PP ! However, the interesting thing is that the Jacobs biscuits do not compare anywhere else (More by luck than judgement cos I clean forgot to scan them separately) so you can safely put them through at SS with the rest of your stuff.

    Overcharged on the chicken and a really 'up himself' duty manager wouldn't budge. He actually had the sauce to say that he would do me a special favour and let me have the chicken at the lower price ! And that was after he tried at least 3 stupid wriggles/excuses as to why I couldn't have DD. HQ are sending me a refund and sorting him out. I did point out that - far from him doing me a favour - I was doing Tesco a favour by shopping in their store!

  • I'm pretty pleased with my results, although not as good as yesterday, I still got back £30, from a £49 spend on test shops this morning. And I have many goodies to show for it, expecially the scrummy toffee penquin and honeycomb club! I recommend these.

    This means these can be used with other items that DO show on A.com and msm (although the multibuy is currently not showing on msm at all?), eg Olay wipes £4 A and £2.49 at S and T. There are better returns to be had, eg Dove Men stuff. Will dig out details if anyone is interested - deos and shave stuff.

    Hi perky.

    I've posted this morning's test shops. If you like the results, just copy the lists. Every item on each list can be bought on that list. Or not, as the case may be.

    You will see what I paid, and what you are expected to get back.
