Thanks hon I'm on the mend as I've had enough energy to last the day. I had to give in at 11am yesterday and phone my mum in tears asking her & my dad to come down and help out. Ended up just lying in bed for 5 hours but it seems to have worked (well that, the antibiotics, the steroids and the inhalers).

So I'm trying to work out what glitches I now need. The following is a list of stuff I have that should last at least a year:

Batteries
Deodorants
Dental (toothbrushes, toothpaste & mouthwash for me & the kids)
Soap
Shower gel
Shampoo
Nice facial stuff (thanks to DTD)
*Ahem* lady things
Toys
Clothes
Crockery, stripy glasses, pans, mugs, steak knives, mats & coasters
Iron, straighteners, slow cooker
Alcofrolic delights - Blue WKD, vino and beer
Cereals
Custard, jelly & rice
Soup
Heinz meals
Beans & spaghetti
Pasta
Tea & coffee
Gardening stuff
Summer/outdoor toys
Toilet rolls, kitchen rolls & tissues (around 6 months for each but they take up too much storage space)
Nappies, pull-ups, wipes & nappy sacks
Xmas pressies for the family now all sorted

I could have done with more big batteries, some Fanta/Lilt/Sprite depending on dates, don't need any more crisps or chocolate (even my baggy trackies have tightened). Actually looking at my list I should be bloody grateful but it's been a hard 4 months since the marriage hit the rocks but I think I'm now in a good place to walk away and give a 2 finger salute :T

caz:eek::eek::eek::eek:
actually i think my list would be just as long
current emergency at the moment at my gaff is that i had a sack of potatoes on the freezer lid to hold it down, now i've had to add a sack of onions as 2 more free pizzas to squeeze in
also cannot get into my spare room now for T's junk.... sorry glitches!

I know everyone must be sick to the gills with custard and jelly but just in case anyone missed the last glitch I happened to buy some of the individual tubs of Ambrosia devon custard tonite, mine are nearly done from the original glitch, however there seems to be a new glitch.

nearly done:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:????
OMG i need to eat faster, only 345 pots to go.....:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
think i'll defo leave this one for you lot, if they see me with another pot of jelly at my local think the security guard will probably dive for me!!!

I don't need any but just for funsies, is it our usual Extra doing that? Oh and have you tried the new Extra in @rds yet? Me & the kiddos have been too ill to get out but I'm dying to know if they have scanners. I did manage a couple of glitches/DTDs in the old store without a scanner but the thought of shiny new scanners and new and thus far unknown to me trouts is killing me!

Caz yes it was Kn0ncknag*ney, and it is the original Ambrosia devon custard, didn't try the other varieties but they are all included in the bogof offer.

Haven't tried the new store, yet, its a bit out of my range but I am very tempted, just for a nosey.

Evening everyone, I knew you lot would cheer me up have just had the most horrendous couple of hours. I'm sure someone could make a poem of my tale.

Whilst driving round a bend one day
some fizzy pop began to spray
This sparkling drink, it then explodes
and on Tiny's car did blow its loads
Jellies they flew everywhere
and TS, you should hear her swear.
On the step she set the mat,
Got soapy water, and with that,
left the house to clean the mess,
caused by a trip to T express.

The heavens opened on her head,
the mat, I fear, was left for dead.
Coming inside to get dry,
why did Tiny pause, and cry?
"I've missed a meeting at the school,
my kitchen's like a swimming pool.
My car, it smells like fizzy pop,
OH will surely throw a strop!"
But Tiny shoes, please don't fear,
as MSE is always here.

Just this minute found out as I have had to own up to having a bit of accident with a bottle of Sprite as the car mat is sat in a bowl in the porch. His words "the ones I told you we didn't need!"

It's actually a good job that I didn't put them in boot as still have sleeping bags and windbreak in it from Ts of course.

As for my driving it's just that quite a few people use our road as a short cut and drive through at speed and won't stop for anyone, I was driving slowly but already passing the idiot that parks on the bend and the other car did not stop. Most that live in our road know to take it easy round the bend and it was a good job I was as things could have been a lot worse. Don't think I would have wanted to explain a bumped car. :eek:

DH just does not get the glitching, although her does enjoy it when wine is on offer.

Can I ask about the windbreak please..... seen a few different ones but we don't have a SS and could do with a windbreak for next year if it's cheap enough! Thanks.

Apart from jellies and custard I don't think I will ever need to buy dishwasher tablets or toothpaste again and I have enough wine to open an off-licence. We are also still wading through tins of heinz beans I also think I will need to invest in a new freezer if any more meal deal offers come up.

Now Ts do a nice foldable crate (sky blue & black in colour) that is handy to keep in the boot. You can easily fit 24 soups in one level though it's quite heavy but that gives you an idea of size.

:rotfl:There speaketh a true glitcher! Always know your tin to crate ratio lol!

Absolutely brilliant!

I've just checked my little blue book and forgot to add:

Harpics
Oilatum (thanks to wannabemortgagefree - bless her cotton socks)
Brabantia bin bags
Bleach (inc 30p BOGOF parazone)
Dishwasher salt, cleaner and of course tablets!!
Floor cleaner
Fairy liquid
Fairy non-bio clothes washing stuff
Comfort softener (2 huge 85 wash bottles still waiting)
Flash cleaner (think that was 70p and BOGOF for 1.4lts)
Wrapping paper (I never knew there were so many Express stores until I went hunting for the 1p paper)
Knives from the glitch
The mispriced Pyrex Wave stuff
Bedding
TV (thanks to some careful MOC usage, a refund including MOCs and a money card for complaining - hence the refund)
Weaning stuff for DS2 - no need for bowls, spoons, dummies etc for him - ever!

Big thanks to Mothercare though as they got me a free cot mattress thanks to all the previous price matches, lots of toys & crafts stuff due to glitchy offers & discount code, same goes for nappies & wipes and also to Asda for the character event and the abundance of Cars stuff I have for the boys. I also have some nice bits from Amazon thanks to gift cards for doing surveys. So the ex had a problem with me using the laptop. I'd have an even bigger problem if I didn't use it!
