    Tenth Anniversary Combo Breaker Xmas Saver!
    I just got majorly :eek: there.
    Bought myself a smoothie maker from Sainsbobs before Xmas so decided to christen it by making a chocolate bar milkshake for DS and myself using one of my cheap dairymilk bars. :D
    All was going well until I opened my bar, DS done quality control (ie took a square to eat) on it but when I opened the pack more to get to the rest of the squares I found one with a little moth imbeded in it :eek:

    Will be on to Cadburys to inform them of this but what do I do about the other bars I have? Has put me off one of my favourite choc now :( Would they change these or if I have to post out the defective one could they take the others and replace them?
    Was really looking forward to my chocolate

    and lala i meant no harm in suggesting you were that lady, i meant that you only took 1 item and not the whole lot like the rest of them.

    Couldn't be nikka as she had a smile on her face....

    Well i have decided to bite the bullet and install some new french doors to the back of my house, old one has a massive crack in it so its about time they were replaced,
    Just looked on fleabay to get an average price, im looking at about £400.00, might manage them for a bit less as of the trade im in,
    So this month i want to save enough to have them done, i figure i could do this, by being quite frugel with my food spends,:o
    There is me, my OH, 3 DD's and my DS, + my 2 dogs (huskies who will not eat dry food grrr).
    I have quite a bit of whoopsie pork and few other bits in freezer, loads of Branston beans and toms lol:D

    So if anyone can help me, for example with vouchers or offers, they would be greatly received,

    Sorry for the long post:(
    But you guys seem like the right bunch for the job;)

    Oh I was all set to go to the sainsburys near me tomorrow, but it is quite big, and I didnt know there were different sizes of sainsbobs! How can I tell what size a store is classed as? will it tell me on the store finder (like tesco has metro,express,extra etc)

    Edit, oops, should have looked myself, should not be lazy! Store locator states if it is a local store or a superstore. 2 miles to a super. 9 miles to a local (which is not so local to me then!) never mind!

    Hi,

    i had to go and look up the difference too. If u go on sains website and use store locater...the large stores have an S along side and the local's an L.
    hth.

    I am wondering wot time might be best to go as mine opens at 7am but wonder if the discounts will have to be done first before going to floor or if they will have been done the prev eve??
    love to bag a bargain :):):)

    for anyone with little girlies who like to dress up, As have reduced the Disney dressing up shoes in a box (4 pairs) to £4.17.....original price everywhere else before Xmas was about £17.99...Ts have them on offer at £7.48 ( I bought them last week as As was out of stock at £5)...been to As today and got 2 lots so will return my expensive (although the same) to Ts tomorrow!!!

    Has anyone ventured to Clintons for their sale this weekend? Is there much left or have they been blitzed? I have a Boots,Clintons and Superdrug all on the same high street opposite my nearest Ts extra so am contemplating a blitz attack on all 4 tomorrow after the school run!!! :)
    hoping for a very MSE Ts glitching 2012!
