Afternoon people

Not been on here for almost a week, my wee dog died last week and I've been too upset to come on the net.
How are things in here, is it worth reading back or are we all still arguing?
Have I missed any bargains/glitches, can someone please give me a quick update on what I should be looking out for. TIA

So very sorry to hear your sad news, my baby - "Benson" died two years ago, and even though we now have another dog, i still look for Benson every time i walk in the door - he was such a big part of our lifes, and made an impression on so many people, he was a gurt great big Rottie - and from the first day i bought him home he was loved by everyone - we use to have a pub and all the regulars and their kids loved him he was just so gentle and sweet, as he got older he would lie on the door step of the pub on the main road and if he saw people he knew if they tried to walk past without coming in he would follow them up the road - so 9 out of 10 times they would end up in the pub or else he would follow them all the way home or to where ever they were going . He use to play pool - picking the balls up in his mouth and chucking them around the table until they went in. When we had skittle matches he would be the ball boy and pick all the balls up in his mouth (one at a time) and take them back up to the top to the players. And the best bit of all we use to have a lovely old lady who used to come in to the pub every day for a half a bitter and a brandy, but on mondays and thursdays she always bought in left over meat and chicken from her dinner the day before and Benson would walk down to her house approx half a mile away and walk back with her with a carrier bag in his mouth with his goodies in, it all started one day when her lift didn't turn up to take her home so Benson and i walked down the road with her and he obviously remembered and started making his own way down there,and god help anyone who ever went near her when she was in the pub - he would sit by her feet and not move but give a little growl if anyone got to close - looking back maybe not such a good thing, but i think he was trying to protect his feeder!!

Sorry for rattling on but im sure you know where im coming from. It does get easier as time goes by but i have some fantastic memories of
Benson and im sure you also have some great ones of your wee dog also.

Big hugs to you and if you need someone to talk to give me a shout anytime xxxxxxx

when you have a dog it becomes such a massive part of you life i dont think anyone can really truely know what its like untill you have a dog. They really are a part of the family and its loosing one of the family when they die but you are left with such grate memories and many im sure that can make you smile and laugh, just like the above

It's not my local, but I was passing through Bas1ngst0ke today, and found a couple of Halloween bits to look out for -

From the town centre Metro - Cadburys Spookey Shapes a bag contains 6 mini bags- 27p (SEL shows £1.10)
From Ch1neham - Cadburys Freaky Fingers - 47p (i think, i cant find receipt now) SEL shows £1.89 (i think)
both about 1/4 price

Still plenty of both left, I only got 3 of each.

Don't know if this is the right thread, but for those wanting to make their own mincepies, I was in my local Tesco express earlier and noticed Robertson's mincemeat was £1.31 (£1 online) but Tesco's same size jar was only 30p (£1.20 online), I haven't checked my other local express yet or the big Extra so I don't know if it was a single store error, would someone be able to look when they next go?

Several Cadbury's single bars are c. 60p each but 2 for 80p until 3rd Dec, also Cadbury's wishes are 61p each but 3 for 99p.

Could someone also fill me in on the dairy milks, which ones are the cheap ones? I have tried to find the info by reading back but I couldn't find what I was looking for....

Thanks so much, I love this forum!

The dairy milks are 120g if I remember rightly, in either spot or stripe packaging. Can't remember anything else, and I haven't managed to get any so no b/c sorry.

Aww, I really feel for you. I had to have my darling GSD put to sleep on 14th December 2001. I'll never forget that date, or how I felt that day. Still hate that date when it comes around every year and can't even stand the number 14. How daft is that?

Love you forever my Chelsea girl. xx

(((Hugs))) to you. PM me if you ever need to. xx

Went to R0ne0 C0rner today and found 3 trays and also 2 of the Babyliss Power Glide Pro sets.

Went to self scan. Scanned first Babyliss set - £1.50, and screen said assistance required. Trout came over and said that price can't be right, I'll have to get it checked.

I quickly sent OH away with trays to pay at another till, as was sure that she wouldn't let those go through.

Trout goes to 5 items or less till and checks price of babyliss, and shakes her head and goes away. A few minutes later, she comes back and goes up to (what turns out to be a manager), and speaks to him. Things get heated and she slams Babyliss set down in front of him. He then picks it up and goes away.

Trout comes back with face like thunder, but doesn't say anything to me.

After another 5 mins:

Me: Is he checking this item for me?

Trout: Who knows? he is a man with an attitude! He won't sell it to you at that price anyway.

Me: Why not?

Trout: Price is obviously wrong, so he won't sell it to you.

Me: Could you not have told me that before? You have seen me standing here for 15 minutes?

Trout: I did tell you.

Me: No you didn't. You said, that you would have to check.

Trout: I'm not arguing with you!

So, I leave other Babyliss set at till and go to CS, to make a complaint about trout.

While I am in queue, the manager that trout spoke to, comes along with the 2 Babyliss sets in his hands, looking for me. He couldn't have been nicer. He said that it was fine to buy them at £1.50 each, apologised for keeping me waiting, said that trout had also been rude to him and apologised for her behaviour and said she would be spoken to this afternoon.

So, I went back to till and made sure trout saw me buying my 2 £1.50 Babyliss sets! :j
