    I thought you were gonna refer me- have I got it wrong??
    I think I might just place an order without being referred as I'm getting very confused!!!(easily done!!)
    Anyway, if I don't hear anything different, I'll just place an order tomorrow.

    Sorry Marrbett you are right - I forgotten who it was and looked at my pm's and saw one from SueP19 and just thought it was her - oops sorry:o. Please don't order until I have put mine in and recommended you which I will be doing later on this evening (hopefully).

    Thank you for letting me know and sorry for any confusion - I always seem to cause confusion wherever I go/whatever I do, sorry:o

    ps Just remembered that it's Sue running the list:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

  • Can I just ask one question please? What do people do with their spreadsheets for their second purse, do they just have a continual sheet, or do you do it month by month/week by week and stock take at the time when you go onto a new sheet. Just wondering which is the most efficient way of doing it really.

    I have a continual sheet so that I can kept a track of all my stock. Mind you, I haven't got that much yet so it may become more complicated when the stock multiplies :rotfl:!

Just wondering which is the most efficient way of doing it really.

    I have 1 continuous spreadsheet and as I use the stock of an item up I delete it from the list. I actually have a few items on there multiple times as I bought them at different times and at different prices :o Charmin Loo Roll is on there 3 times as is Haagendaz :rotfl:

    Am I next on the list Sue, not sure where I am or what I need to do?:o

  • Regarding Donald Russell referrals.

    On their homepage, over on the right hand side is a "refer a friend" part, when you click on it, you just fill in the person you are refering details and then at the bottom of the page, you specify which gift you want.

    When I did, I clicked the referral BEFORE I noticed the bit about choosing a freebie, but I emailed them and they just added it on.

    I am planning on placing my 2nd order in the next day or two and they say they will send my freebie with that order.

    Just the usuals in C0stc0 (polkadot I didn't see anything weightwatchers related). Thought I'd do a little list again so you can compare to what you usually buy so here's a list of common items and prices that are standard and don't seem to change visit to visit :) all prices inc vat where applicable:

    MINSTREL Mature Cheddar - in blocks abt 1.2kg ish (£4.49/kg or 44.9p/100g). I think mild cheddar is cheaper but didn't write it down

    WATSONS Milk 2 x 4pt cartons wrapped together for £1.49 (75p per 4pt carton)

    LAMB WESTON Hash Browns (frozen) £2.19 for 2kg bag (10.9p/100g)

    INSPIRE Maris Piper spuds £3.49 for 7.5kg sack (46.5p/kg or 5p/100g)

    KIRKLAND Loo rolls £16.42 for 48 rolls (34.2p per roll)

    FOXWOOD Premium chicken nuggets (frozen) £10.69 for £1kg ...these are really nice proper bits of chicken in breadcrumbs, not reformed stuff. I usually chop up 4 or 5 with some golden savoury rice or couscous which is enough for a good meal as they are a decent size. Will try to remember to count how many are in bag

    BRAND? Par Bake baguettes 4x pack of 2 (8 total) £1.65 (41p for 2 pack)

    BRAND? sliced farmhouse loaf 2 pack for £1.59 (80p per loaf)

    WALKERS crisps (cheese & onion for this example) £13.90 for box of 48 x 34.5g bags (29p per 34.5g bag or 84p/100g)

    EDIT: This is C0stc0 by Star City in Bham
