    In case it helps anyone...

    Before I Shop has 30p off coupons for Pilgrims Cheddar. They are on BOGOF in T's at the mo so with 2 coupons, it's quite good value. Also is a Philadelphia coupon for £1, which are also on BOGOF in T's so 40p for 2 tubs.

    And for local info, T's in H3m3l has 1p spooky fingers,a d T's in B'w00d has 1p Dormens spicy nuts. The salted ones are full price. Also the mingles there are actually marked as 1.01 per box.

    HTH someone :-)

    Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! I currently want to scream so I'm going to vent here! I've just got my last payslip from work, I'm off sick until the day I leave, I had been informed I would receive full basic pay for the last month. I have received £50!!!!!!!! 50 bl00dy quid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek::eek::eek:

    OMG I so hope this is a mess up on their part and it'll all turn out ok :(:(:(

    hiya...after having DD1 and my maternity leave ended handed in my notice and was signed off for my 7 weeks notice period with a bad back...I was pad full pay including bonuses as apparently if you're signed off by a doctor you cant be discriminated against and should be paid as if you were actually at work. Have a google and see what the likes of ACAS etc say...also might be worth seeing what your contract says so you can counter-argue their arguements! good luck! :)
    hoping for a very MSE Ts glitching 2012!

  • Argh, I'm obviously not meant to have a cheap DVD player. Saw the Technika upscaling one today with SEL of 24.97. Didn't know if it was the right one or not so thought sod it I'll take a chance (no scanners in store) but it went through at that price, will need to look back again and see if I can find the OP, I did write it down but think it's in the bin now.

    Did liberate 2 more boxes of Mingles, just randomly sat on a shelf. I did leave one ;) Find it if you can :P :rotfl::rotfl:

    I'm off to do the washing up now, no excuses now I've got rubber gloves!

    Thank you so much Looby, that's fantastic information :T Keeping everything crossed!

    Edit: Just heard back......phewwwwww good news!!:j Oh man I thought I was going to be running on empty for a while but luckily somebody processed it wrong and I shouldn't have had the deductions I did. Now I've just got to twiddle my thumbs while I wait to find out exactly how much they'll be paying, and I'm so damn impatient at the best of times :p

    Wow such a relief though!! :)

    Forgot to mention earlier, I've got my Mary Berry Christmas bake in the oven and my house smell delicious :D I hope it turns out well....only another 2 hours to go!:p
