  • quick question
    has anyone managed to use the fairy/lenor ones?
    If yes, did they scan right or were they manually put through and what did you get?
    was after the lenor but mum wants the fairy washing up liquid
    TIA
    Hi, I've not used the Lenor ones yet, but they are for Fairy Non-bio, Lenor or Bold, so that'd be the laundry products. The Fairy/Flash/Febreze works with the washing up liquid.

    :T Any idea how long I should cook it for? and what do you have with yours? Rice (what kind)? or .....
    Sorry for all the Q's
    I did a chilli in the slow cooker last week -browned mince first, sauteed onions till soft, then bunged it all in with kidney beans and spices and some of the Sacla bolognaise sauce and left it on high for 2 hrs, slow for 3. It cooks fairly quickly for a slow cooker, as no potatoes, etc. I also added some red wine, which gave a lovely flavour.
    Any rice'll be fine, most folk probably use long-grained but basmati or brown will work as well.

    when you 1st came onto this thread i knew you had a head for money matters, as i do. but dont post that way... but my wife has no idea at all and she says to me --- just do your thing in ts as i cant do it. ive tried to tell her how on the easy bits but she wont even go in there with me now. (again i blame nikkilala lol)

    Your right I do have a head for money but I try not to let that get in the way of enjoying life :rotfl:

    Part of our pact for my retiring early was that I promised to do all of the shopping etc so for me it makes sense to save money where I can to lessen the impact of a reduced income as long as I don,t spend too much time doing it. This thread has unfortunately scuppered some of those plans!

    OH doesn't like going shopping with me,especially Tesco, as we end up spending too much time there for her liking. I'm slowly working on it and think(fingers crossed) I'm making some progress:)

    Well you did ask:rotfl: Surely you didn't expect a sensible reply from me?:rotfl::rotfl:On a more serious note, consuming a glass of water will definitely keep the calorie count down. I drink lots of water during the day to maintain that full feeling

    Well I had a lovely meal...minestrone soup, linguine with mixed seafood in a light tomato and garlic sauce and...........a bottle of still water!!!!!

    Well all my coupons are cut out and sorted so same are together and filed in my not so little coupon file ready for action on Monday. I need them to help me upto a couple of £40 shops next week. I have used all my £5 off vouchers for this week already cause I've been very lucky this week with DTD opportunities!

    Off to bed now...must take my make-up off before bed. Good night all!

    Tell me about it.:o:o:o
  • lol, buy the tampax, if you have a nose bleed they are meant to be gr8 for that lol.

    There should be a drop down menu somewhere on the voucher. In some cases it will allow you to choose between Sainsbury's, Tesco and Boots.

    The Pets section seems to only give Iams vouchers. If you use this with your dog it it a good bet and I can send you mine as I only have a cat.

    The Boot's ones seem to be Boot's only. :(

    This is interesting, both me and OH studied Business and Finance and my senior lecturer advised me to go into accountancy. However, I have no interest in numbers, they bore me. I make my OH accountable for all the financial aspects but regularly review them with him. OH is bad at sticking to a budget but good at the bigger and longer term financial picture. As a result I do the weekly budget/shop and he decides where to put the long term investments. It seems to work well for us but always interesting to hear how others work it.

    Glad to see you had a nice meal and some zero calorie, very filling, water. I now need to make some super efforts to get my waistline down to 28" to get back into the flares that I mentioned(TIC) on SSM FB. Only 8" to go:eek: Hopeless dream:rotfl:
