    Also if your not fussed on the chocolate puddings that are on B1G2F for £2 and a cheap cake to make up to £2.50 so you can use the £1 off WYS £2.50 0n cakes.

    Bakin boys Flapjack bars are half price at 70p

    (my kids go mental for these flapjacks, so i'll be stocking up) I wont moan at 4 x 5pks (20 bars) for £1.80

    You have to be very careful where you stock food with both mice and rats. Sometimes I read on here about people stocking up garages and attics with food. I would never do this. It is attracting trouble. I keep all that sort of stuff where I can see it. I have been a victim of both rats and mice in the past! Never again![/QUOTE

    I only keep tins in our larder and yet the little bleeders still came in and you could see where they had been chewing the labels, im absolutely terrified of them. I had one job where i was looking after a lady who was dying and she had a special bed moved into her front room, so i was in there with her one night and she was sleeping and i was watching the TV sat on the sofa next to her and a mouse came into the room and just sat in the middle of the floor staring at me, i threw everything i could get my hands on at it and it still didn't leave in the end i had to ring her gardner and wake him up to come up and bring the cats in - they ended up staying in there every night with me until she died. I know it may sound wussie but i couldn't stay in there without them cuddled up next to me:(:(:(

    and now I'm home alone as bf had a call out and I need to go to bed but don't want to :(

    Well here goes. It is W*lls in Somerset and the Extra that is lovely is Sh*pton M**let. When DTD was at it's height I was treated like a criminal every time I went in there. Recently I was speaking to a CS man in the Extra store and he said W*lls was the worst store he had ever worked at as regards staff and customers. He told me he had his nose broken twice by customers. Apparently recently about 4 staff were sacked and 6 suspended because they bought a load of meat that was wrongly priced at 1p. I had heard it was something to do with the TCO thing but then I heard it was because of the meat thing. Also there have been about 3 of the car park lights broken for about 1 year and despite reporting it they do nothing about it. It is open until 12.00p.m. each night but if you go after 9.00p.m. all the outside lights are off. I am partially sighted and I have to be careful if I go late at night. Whereas the Extra store is lit up like a Xmas three. I am off to the Extra in a mo to see if I can get some more Comfort and look if the Meal Deal glitch is working. In my local they have pulled the deal in favour of Xmas goodies. I feel much better getting that off my chest. Happy Glitching all!!

    Well done for naming it! Sounds to me like it needs a change of management! Perhaps you could relay your story to the CEO's office in an email. I would if it were me! :)

    It doesn't sound wussy at all. I would have been the same. And how brave are you to watch and look after a dying person. x

    The snow hasn't reached the central belt yet, please keep it at your bit I am still trying to get over all the snow from last year!!


    In saying that though our wee pooch spent endless hours trying to bite the snow last time, it was quite amusing to watch...... for the first couple of days:)
