Tesco 11+ Elite (and me) H.O. for glitches and gossip

purdita

Hi all
Not managed to catch up yet but I did see some people hadn't managed to get anything from Hotel chocolat
I won an easter selector and a chocolate 40% hollow egg.
Unfortunately my nearest HC is 30 miles away so I won't be collecting them.
Seems a shame to let them go to waste though

Thanks Tinyshoes, had a quick look tonight myself and scanned a big Peppa Pig, but still £10. Forgot to mention to everyone that I got DTD on those meats 2 for £8. I bought one gammon and one chicken, both had the stickers on, but no discount came off. Considered buying a few, but I have no freezer space and not a massive saving, as paid £10 and got £4 back.

Nearly bought a pack of magnums, as I saw them for £1, but resisted...to find that someone said they might have gone through for 10p!!!...funnily enough I saw someone with loads in their trolley yesterday, when I did nappy run and I remember thinking it was strange...why oh why did I not buy any and why have I not bought a second freezer yet???:rotfl::rotfl:

Nevermind, I forgot to get my stain remover so I will go to TP tomo for this and maybe buy a magnum or two..as it is on way to MIL whom I bought 40 easter eggs for tonight...plus 10 more for OH mate at work and 6 treasure eggs for us, just coz they were cheap...total on easter eggs £56!!! after coupons £41 :T

Sorry waffling again..best pay some attention to my LO...I have half the laptop to read and browse internet..other half of laptop is either playing Peppa Pig or Special Agent OSO non stop, while LO climbs all over me.

OMG £41 on Easter Eggs, have you checked out Hotel Chocolat lately :rotfl:

Arghhhhh time really has run away with me tonight! Dinner is in the oven and on the hob so looks like another very late dinner for me tonight!

A quarter of spratchcock chicken with garlic and herbs, pigs in blankets, roasters, mash, broccoli, cauli and gravy! Pic as alwasy to follow

Went for whoopsies tonight to my 'quiet' store. Picked up a lady who I've got to know from whoopsying in our local. She hates the scrums so now and again I take her to my quiet store.

We got 11 bunches of flowers for £2.80 including two massive bunches of lillies! No meat, but tons of veg...packs of peppers 25p, spuds 20p, toms, 15p, lettuce bags 20p, strawbs 15p, raspberries 30p.....and so the list goes on. There was tons and tons of fruit and veg tonight. Makes a change not to buy meat!!!

A special thanks to cosmic dust for my chocolates.........what can I say???

Catch up with y'all when I get my food done!

I am nowhere near one!!!:( lol and none of them were actually for me!!

My MIL always gets all her grandchildren an egg, so I said I could get them cheaper for her...yes she has a lot of grandchildren...she always gets them at £1 each, so buying 40 for her saved her a tenner. £30 spent for her

Then my OH comes home from work, we gotta pick some up for my boss..he says. 10 eggs for him at £7.50

Last £3.50 on 6 treasure eggs, my OH bought 4 of these last week, just for him to eat, coz he loves the easter egg chocolate.

PS. I may just have 1 of his treasure eggs, think I deserve it.

I had a go at this Hotel Chocolat thing and got a voucher for an "Easter selector". There isn't a store near me but I will be able to visit one when I go to a friend's wedding in May.

So the voucher says prize must be collected by June 30th but what if you do go to a store in May or June, presumably there won't be any Easter items left about - don't think they've thought this one through!

I hope now you can understand why we tend to want to give thigs away rather than see them go waste... I do understand MSE rules, but if your like me, binning a MOC is like burning money!!!! lol lol
