    I think you forget that my totals are ONLY what has been REDEEMED in the month.

    Sometimes I don't need to shop so much, what with past bulk buying and other offers I've quite a good stockpile. For example, I still have a fair quantity of various tinned goods obtained for very very little over 3 years ago :D

    And I'm NOT a FIND, CHECK & PRINT immediately person (that gives a short 28 day expiry period) and then "SPEND" as soon as possible - mine are valid for about 6 months :j (redeemed a February receipt only last week)

    As for my actual CASH outgoings at A last month ? I got change out of a FIVER :rotfl: ...

    ... and just checking my ωallet :cool:, I've already got a dozen or so All Purpose Gift vouchers of over ω1 that amount to ω71 in total

    and I've 50 to 60 smaller ones (but more than ω0.60) worth about ω40 :)

    My Uncle's in fine health and abounding in generosity :p

    Your totals should be what you found not redeemed!!

    My Uncle has been extremely generous - about as 6 times as generous as yours;)

    I stated right from the start my total for a month is what I've successfully handed over at a till - it's the only way it makes any sense - it's meaningless bits of paper until it's been used.

    On your last point, so in the last month you had over £1000 of APG ?

    Oops maths not my strong point - about as 3 1/2 times as generous as yours:D

    I give up with the maths - but definitely hundreds more generous than yours!!

    Now I'm confused :)

    3½ times what (a) I redeemed or (b)what I found

    = approx (a)£350 or (b)£700

    and is this (a) or (b) what YOU FOUND ? (or actually spent in June?)

    My opinion of Your World v mse drivel thread, as that is what it seems to come down to. On the one hand YW is something new, I have never heard of it before DrWW joined it, but its not for me.

    the regulars on this thread are all wonderful, kind, generous, people, who really care about each other.

    You cannot put a price on the friendships that have been made via mse and particularly this thread, it has evolved into a family and I consider that priceless. I agree :D

    So to me, this thread is an important part of my life, and I couldn't and wouldn't want to change that. I agree :D

    But I also believe we have to make our own decisions in life and on mse too, so if DrWW wants for whatever reason to post mainly on YW that is up to her. I will really miss her posts, she is so clever and witty and amusing and kind too so I am sure a lot of others on here will be sad too and miss her great posts. CWxx


    Thank you for your kind word CW :beer::beer:
    I think BW mis-understood me. I didn't say that I will no longer post here - will post but not carp posts if you know what I mean :D:D

    When I initially posted it, I do think about all of you - and I did said that we talk alot & chances of winning prize draw (say 200 members are 33 members to 1 prize but they only accepted 150) for talk almost anything.

    Anyway, it will be up to you on how you interprated my post.


    I didn't said that I will abandon you lot:p:p:p I just said that I'll post if I find good stuff to post:p

    And since IS & myself kiss & make up we no longer fight;);) & I got no one to pick on & anyway my sis BLUE does not like me picking on anyone here:rotfl:


    @ AH - you are right - I can't resist to answer back :rotfl::rotfl: now stop firing me:p:p:p:p

    I just post some recipes & reply to their comments etc. I will never ever dream of posting good stuff as its part of Tekco website. And I have to be careful what I am posting.

    Just giving advise on some cooking stuff mostly.

    Nah don't like BD, they put far too much garlic & its over powering!

    Haven't post any comps since Monday because am busy this whole week - I told CW that by the time I have finished work & done running around for DD2 & DD1 I am knacked!
