Bathed the dog tonight as she'd been for a nice walk down the salt marshes......think she was impressed?

Very cute, looks like she was filthy judging by the water, if she's like our pooch she will spend the next ten minutes shaking herself and rubbing her body all over the floor.
Wish I was a dog sometimes it looks like a lot of fun:rotfl:

ok here's something for you all....as the year is nearly coming to an end, i thought it would be a good idea to discuss THE BEST GRABBITS OF 2011.

i reckon it should be split between tesco and non-tesco grabbits; seeing as there have been many tesco glitches over the past year. :rotfl:

so here are my top 3 of the year (in no particular order):

---

Tesco
1. Tesco price check promise - free shopping for 2 months.
2. OEL glitch
3. 1p items: the main ones for me being the mayonnaise, pickled shallots, dormen xmas fruit n nut and cadbury roses.

Non- tesco
1. Viking - celebrations for 11p
2. Jaegar code taking £20 off sale items
3. virgin experience/very hot air balloon experience for 2 (back in january - we got £50 gift cards for nowt!)

---

there are probably many more that i've forgotten, so it would be interesting to see what other people think....

I've still got my voucher from the balloon thing...no idea what to spend it on! Might check their january sales lol.

Yeah, by the looks of it they get cleaned once a year so you were lucky!

Why do they call it Eastville though when it's surrounded by things with Eastgate in the address?! And did I know you were a Brizzle-onian? I probably did and forgot lol!

Just rooted around for the receipts and got the cream wrong, I got that at Eastville along with the freaky fingers, spontex sponger, jigsaws and yellow illooms. All I got at SB was a pack of orange illooms and some whoopsied strawberries Got the two confused, sorry :cool:

Very much enjoyed SB as I got lost trying to find the exit, it's so lit-up it's blinding!! Y@te was chav central, won't be rushing there again!

Lol! I think Eastgate is the name of the retail park, Eastville is the name of the area No I haven't really shared where I live before but I'm not really a Bristolian, I live 25 mins down the M5 but they're my nearest bunch of Extra stores

Oh don't appologise I get totally confused too and always use my receipts to check!

Hahahaha I like SB because of the other shops, especially handy having the Boots there. Ok then I won't rush to Yate! :rotfl:

Had to a do a quick jaunt to T's there for some shopping, well all the clip strips are coming out in force now aren't they!! :doh::doh: Found the Green Tea and the Thomas cutlery both for 1p, granted there was only 1 set of the Thomas cutlery, but still it's not the point! Where were they when I was trying to get on the list!

I bought about 14 cartons of thick cream all 10 or 20p.

I was inspired by whoever said they did their own butter by whisking it.
I'm too tired to do it tonight. Hope tomorrow will be ok.
Let's hope it saves me loads as I get through butter FAST!

Will use the buttermilk too. Can't see anything go to waste.

Will let you know how I go on.

There were loads of food doctor spicy nuts on strips so gave em a try.
They were not only full price but 4 months out of date.

Got loads of iron wipes n sweeteners.

If anyone is out and about at T's could you try the Finest overcharge reported on the main forum. Sounds like maybe good dtd

My first DTD from Tesco in H*nley. Dine in for £10 offer did not go through at checkout so promptly went to CS. The overcharge was £11 so £22 back!! I had to mention the DTD though to get it.
The OH nearly dropped through the floor when i told him how much we got back.
I hope this helps someone. The items i got were Jacobs Creek shiraz. New York cheesecake 2 portions, Finest Chicken Kiev & Finest Spinach side order.

And another possible one here,

Tesco Finest £10 meal bought the other day, didn't see I was overcharged until I got home. The combination I got was this: Chicken in a creamy sauce with mushrooms (think it said madeira), plain finest mashed potatoes, green veg(petit pois and beans) and new york finest vanilla cheesecake. The wine I got was a 9.99 Chardonnay with a bright yellow label with WF 2010, tiny wording on bottom said 'Calvet'. Only the 'Finest' for Dog.


Am annoyed I missed this, but as am new I can learn by mistake, won't let it happen again, hope this post helps someone else get a good deal!
