    Just thinking out loud.....the walkers offer....I recall when they did the £3 lunch promotion, people buying the boxes of walkers from HB? or somewhere similar....wonder if this might be worthwhile with this promo, and if the boxes are on offer?

    Only the outer pack of a multipack has a code to win a free 6-pack

    The single bags might contain a cash prize sachet inside but that's all

    It is me, Mr Slow, again.
    Just checked my PAG for beens and pot noddle which I paid 75p for, compares at 50p, an offer from tomorrow, 2 for £1, so how do I find it if other way round, as in cheap today but expensive tomorrow? As for example xxxx costs £1 today but goes to £2 tomorrow and the £1 compares favourably, as in £1 at !!!!!!, so probably a PAG for £2 vs £1, PAG 0f £1.10 on £1 spend?
    How can we check? A wander down this aisles looking at prices and scanning on App? May have a stroll through Sada if that is the case :)
    Sorry, just looked at PAG again, it has taken pot noddle at 50p each. 75p on SEL and App is 2 for £1.50. Tottaly confusing LOL


    But knowing me, probably a (BIG) flaw in my thinking.


    Braveheart I thought pot noodle are currently 2 for £1 on offer. Offer still 'looks' current

    In my normal dreams I am often trying to save the world or something like that, I obviously feel the weight of the worlds problems on my shoulders :o

    Yes indeed lol. My dream where I'm trying to reach someone tells me I'm worried about losing contact or fretting about them subconsciously.

    Good Afternoon from the 1st class coach on a virgin pendolino train from Edinburgh to Crewe, get me :). Not very mse but very nice none the less. I could get used to this Nellie lol.

    My first time in first class and hopefully not the last if the price is right. I had a ticket for a normal coach but realised I wouldn t get back to Wrexham till almost 10 which makes it an extra long day travelling so I looked for alternatives and saw this with £76 off :eek:

    I think if the difference was not huge then go for it - its a different world in first class on Virgin apart from the stinky loos :D
    Travelling cattle class especially in the school hols is hellish

    Odd times we have been in first coming back from Euston - OH has been very polite and asked nicely and if its very very quiet in first we have been moved - Liverpool staff are very kind. OH though says we can only accept hot drinks but no food as its taking the p**** :D

    The last time we went down to Southampton in January on Cross Country oddly there was extra carriages on so the train was like a ghost train as everyone was spread out. The conductors seeing as we had our passes (and even though our companies don't have reciprocal arrangements) helped move us and various cases into 1st which was totally empty and we did enjoy cross country hospitality that day :D

    Thanks Bubbs for the fairy.....managed to get a few for friends and family using up the £6 off £30 coupons

    For the first time ever (for me) the SA said I couldn't use the £6 coupon cos I hadn't spent enough ! I had to educate him. I don't know whats happening but I've had trouble with supervisory staff (who should be well aware of their own procedures )in Waities, Asda and Tesco in the last week. This morning a supercilious SA told me that the reason the Dr O pizza coupons wouldn't work was because we were only allowed to have 1 coupon per person. She was quite unpleasant and pretty much said I was working a fraud - but she was too late cose the check out lady had already entered them manually and taken my money. Silly Biscuit.
