I dont have a credit card:o i would be:eek: if i got that at the end of the month

We did metal work and woodwork until the 3rd yr then either chose it or dropped it, i liked it but dropped it and did needlework and home ec

I use the CC card for everything as ours is a cashback CC card - it accumulates over the year and when the December bill comes around the cashback is taken off - so far I've got £26 - better than nothing - its usually between £50 and £60 taken off the December bill

I was trying to prepare a Morries comparison shop earlier, of essential items unfortunately:( - therefore a shop that will end up really expensive. Indeed, I've long been back from A. I noticed the 500g Shreddies (I got some 1Kg before at reduced store-specific £1.55 in M several weeks ago - there was only pack at that price - the 500g should work out at 90p, so £1.80 for 1Kg (2x500g) now is a little bit more) are showing OOS on msm when signed in. They have indeed vanished from my A, like people would really be buying them at £2.44!:D:rotfl: I find it harder to believe when items at real high prices (in this case at A) that would be much cheaper somewhere else go OOS, but maybe people do pay silly prices (of course almost none will be doing a comparison shop). As if people would be buying £2.44 boxes though and making my store go OOS - I find it difficult to believe. I'm convinced that they pull any items that they see are really good price at a competitor off their shelves in my store:rotfl:. Just seems too much to be a coincidence that several good items, over the years, at really expensive price in my A and much cheaper elsewhere have 'conveniently' vanished out of stock at just the right time every time:(:rotfl::rotfl:. I'm convinced they watch the competitor prices at my store and pull good items from the shelves to try to stop me getting good APGs:rotfl:.

I may get them if they ever reappear whilst Morries' offer is on. If M's offer is on until 4th September, I expect they will suddenly come back onto the shelves of my A on 5th September:p:rotfl:.
