    Of course! :D

    I am limited to where I can walk to, so it might be cheaper elsewhere, but I went to Lidl cos its nearest.

    Diet Pepsi x 6 cans £1.39 is 23p a tin and I buy it back at £2.50 for 6.

    They also have Pepsi Max in 12 packs which works out the same price give or take a few pennies.

    It's just me here, so bottles are no good for me as they go flat and get wasted.

    The toothpaste is Colgate Advanced White and its 99p at the moment (says usually £1.80) but it's on offer at £1.00 in Sainsburys too.

    Aw sorry to see you two go, but I'll keep you on the front as honorary members :) you don't have to pay yourselves back the SM price, remember you can set your own prices it's your shop xx

    Thanks Kerri :).

    I won't say goodbye to Mrs ATS or Mumof3, as hopefully you will be back once your debt busting days are over,so it's just 'so long' for now (btw Mrs ATS think I am going with option 3 as you suggested)

    Well done Coxy11 for your OH getting a new job:T:T:T, it must have been such a worry!

    Yey I have made my FIRST purchase from my THIRD purse.:j:j Bought the meat slicer from lakeland at a cost of £40.99. Am going to get a joint of gammon and make my own ham as am fed up of paying silly prices for ham in the SM. They also have a machine that vacuum seals your food at £54 so thinking of getting that too from 3P. Was going to buy the JML one but in lakeland you get a lifetime guarantee, so that is quite attractive imho.

    Will update signatures later on this evening when I have more time, and hopefully will have sorted out what I owe my other purses too by that time.:D

    Woohoo - brilliant!! :T

    Please let us know what it is like, a slicer is on my list of things I would like at some time in the future ;)

    I almost bought something from 3rd purse yesterday, a shoe rack thing from Lidl......pushed my old red sholley trolley down to the shop so I could get it home again and......and they had sold out :mad: so I had to push my tatty trolley home again muttering under my breath........must have looked like a batty-bag-lady:rotfl:

    Im so jealous! I desperately want a meat slicer :o, We go through a rediculous amount of ham for sandwiches and it was DH who first mentioned getting one. I was also going to use it to slice up left over sunday dinner beef! Oooo might have to change my mind on what im saving for . . . though the nearest lakeland to me is down near London so would have to make a special trip to bluewater . . . oh wouldnt that be a hardship :rotfl::rotfl:

    Nowhere NEAR as exciting as a trip to Bluewater :D, but Lakeland have reduced their postage to £2.99 and it's free if you spend over £30.....and I had a £3 off voucher through the post from them last week. ;)

    Thanks fozzie - I too prefer cans, nothing worse than flat coke (unless hungover of course :o)
