    Kerri i forgot to say thank you the other day sorry.

    Np at all - glad it arrived ok x
    I listen in envy about all the fab things you guys got on DTD.I wasn't around then. :(

    No pancakes here today,although we do have some in the cupboard.

    I wasn't around then either - still do ok now so not complaining (too much :rotfl:)

    SSM account working again today (was just going round in a loop yesterday - not blocked) but just printing one of each coupon. Still, will print them out and head to the big T at the weekend (and prob have a nervous breakdown parking which I normally do there - it's a carp car park)

    Me also having Betty C pancakes tonight, but from BEFORE the DTD days :eek: I won't tell you quite how OOD the mix is but I'm not fussed (it's only powder and been sealed) and OH doesn't like them. If you don't hear from me for a few days you'll know why ... :eek:

    Thanks for tip though might return them:D;):rotfl:

    Might!:eek: I hope you are joking, you better not unless its gone mouldy:p don't think we can return frozen stuff as easy as we return H&B stuff. You got to have reason for returning frozen stuff - you not allowed to say cos' "Heron" is cheaper or cos' I don't like it:cool:

    oh, oh my 2 kids in the kitchen I whisking & 1 dropping something! me better go check on them:A

    I've had to buy teabags/Hot Chocolate and Fairy liquid of late.....gutted...
    I will never have to buy Rinse Aid ever again, no dishwasher tabs for about 4 or 5 yrs, got de-odourant and toothpaste for at least another year, as for shampoo and conditioner, I spent £14 and got over £100 worth on the John Freida /Charles Worthington glitch last January!!!..(for newbies T's made an error and priced it 3 for £2 instead of 3 for 2)... daren't mention bleach:eek:...but wont be buying any of that for a while either!!!Got enough Comfort to last this year and next ...also got quite a lot of washing powder/gel/liquid .Got Velvet:D and Plenty piled high too.I bought the Velvet to start with, but then won enough to cover all I kept on buying and still was in front with my stock paid for with wins and around £200 cash....I laugh everytime I open a 4 pack and see the square shaped tear in the packaging where the barcode was....:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    All of the above was either free or cost very little.Then of course I have won 18 months of cereal and 1 years supply of Radox...house bursting at the seams....drunk the last bottle of Shloer that I won too but won't be buying any of that until next Xmas...don't you just love couponeering and comps!!!!

    Forgot the SPAM....still got it in my fishing bags ....8 tins of it.....some courtesy of Blue bringing and carrying it around the GFS for me:A
