    Morning all:)

    Went to drop DS1 this morning and the FOGG was really bad with the dark as well visibility was really poor.

    Sorry did mean to post how shops went yesterday but by the time I finished S's M&S & T's shop, packed them all away cooked Dinner I was shattered and it was late then had to watch Dancing on ice I always fall asleep at the results stage and have to re watch Monday morning:rotfl:One week DH went to bed when I went up he said who went out after me watching it my reply "do you know I can't remember" I was so knackered I had drifted off and even forgot I had been watching it

    M&S first shop
    £36.59 - £25 PAID £11.59 mainly on promo offers or reduced
    2nd shop
    £29.75 - £20 PAID £9.75 again on promo and reduced made a bit of a boo boo with this thou as bought some tortillas and dips which on each item was BIGIF the dips were £1.59 tortillas were £1.39 and 99p so should have put dips in one shop and tortillas in other:o can't believe I did that should have known better but they weren't advertised as a combo offer just on each ind label but I should have thought and split but it was right at the end of shop was busy trying to work out splitting into two shops. Worse even with the mistake should have got minimum £4.76 but only gave £4.37:mad: but if had be true ssm could have saved £5.16

    S's SHOP £53.95 using SSM coupons and a BM got down to £28.92 (got a £3.66 BM back also)

    T's SHOP Spent £50.38 - PAID £20.56 and shouold have a JTD back so will post more later

    Morning all, day off work today. Need it to catch up after busy weekend. Got some wombles to put in this morning and see if I get anything back.
    Off to Tesco later to use some MOC's but need to sort out my list first and see what I need to buy.

    Morning all - had a lovely bit of post over the weekend.
    1) Gift Card from T's for £90 - complained about a TV that was 22 month old and out of warranty:D
    2) Gift Card from T's for £5 - complained about some meat:D
    3) HMRC tell me I have OVERpaid tax for 2 tax years and will send me cheque for £555:j:j:j:j:j:j:j

    Did a shop at T's y'day - got £110 of stuff, used a load of coupons from price drop booklet, an £8 off an £80 shop from clubcard mailing, a wombled double points coupon, a £1 off till spit for fish counter and the bigger gift card - paid ZERO :p and still £8 left on gift card :). Will have to see what JTD I get....
