You could go for a change of colour, can pop some red ones in the post. :rotfl:
Small/medium or Medium/large??? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:0 -
I like to have copper/toffee/bronze highlights put in as well as coloured

I have something similar done but it doesn't take 6 hours I would say 2 hours max but when Nikkilala's arm is better ......................................................;)
seriously she does her own hair & it looks great0 -
Creme Brulees get the thumbs up. :j
So glad I saved all the ramekins from GU puds from previous DTD/JTD meal deals.

hi everyone, hope you all had a good day. we had fun at the farm with the playgroup this morning. afterwards went to T's and found one 4p dressing gown:j and a shelf full of the chocolate scanning at 24p (this was about 2pm), only just got home now from exercise classes so couldn't post earlier. Was a bit worried they would take the dressing gown off me as i went through a normal till with that and 5 of each variety of the glitching chocolate, the dressing gown had a security tag on it. Guy on till didn't bat an eyelid at any of it. off to catch up on todays posts now to see what i have missed:)
I bought 6 x 4p dressing gowns today at a store new to me that had 3 manned tills only 1 working & no SS tills, so no choice who I went to, 1 pair of girls tights & a few pairs of childrens sunglasses 6 dressing gowns total 98p the assistant didn't bat & eyelid she was chatting on some sort of headset no idea who to.
Then the alarm went off as I was leaving & myself & C.S. spent the next 10mins searching the dressing gowns for the hidden security tags :eek::rotfl:There are times I can be as cool as a cucumber this was one of them.
Shame there were no scanners Nikkilala, Nannylala & myself could spend a day in there scanning, small store mainly clothes.
Off now to bed, early start up the motorway due to family emergency tomorrow0 -

Luckily the sa didn't check anything and just authorised it.
Evening all
Haven't been on for more than a few minutes at a time in the last couple of days and have now given up hope of trying to catch up! Just read back a few pages.
COT - In my experience, the SS tills let you put through up to 2 vouchers of £1 or less, anything more flags up to be authorised, so best to put these into a larger shop
I heard about the choccie glitch last night and (stupidly!) thought I'd leave it until today as I was tired. Tried in three stores and only managed 4 packs of Mars bars. Would have loved the Galaxys or Snickers but never mind - there's always next time
I found three packs of Dormens Spicy Peanuts on a clipstrip so put those in my basket - they went through at £1.01 :eek: so I asked the checkout op to remove them as they were too expensive
I also found a clipstrip of the veggie crisps that were glitching a few months back. They are still going through at 1p
(first time I have found these and they are yummy :cool:)
Also found some pretty gift bags with spots and stripes on RTC at 18p each (from 75p). They have a sticker on which says something like 'perfect for perfume'.
Not many receipts about to womble though - all this rain is hampering my efforts, and I'm fed up with picking up £10 off £80 spends
I did have a good result back on one of my wombles though - £7.50 :T
Is there anything else to look out for at the moment?0 -
Was quite pleased today. went to asda and got a shop of £28 down to 32p

Beautiful dress Leenie, I would be so proud of my Mum dressing in such a beautiful and sophisticated outfit for my (hypothetical:o) wedding :A
Everything sounds wonderful and I'm so glad to hear you've been making great progress with the plans. Wow only 4 weeks, not long now. I'm another that cannot wait to see some pics.
And Toni if you're reading too :A I hope you're enjoying the run up to the big day and pregnancy is treating you well :Aqueen_of_cheap wrote: »Cheers dude, saves me wasting petrol going out to look. NailC was empty this morning as well :mad:
Mum tried again anyway but you're right, she said there wasn't a space on the shelf even so perhaps staff removal as opposed to lurkers. Regardless, seems like the Bristolians were hit hardest by the great chocolate drought of 2012!
Except our very own Scamps who ventured across the country in his quest for cheap choccies!
:rotfl:Onwards and upwards to the next one

McCain chunky home fries £1 in M's (so 50p with MOC) - Just a wee word of caution....when they say chunky, they really do mean CHUNKY! They're huge!
Also the 100% extra free kitkat packs are £1 in M's too :T (Only 4 finger ones, the chunky are £1.59)
Only popped to A's tonight....got 4 x 4pts 1% milk for 11p each and 3 more Palmolive
Was only when I got to SS that I realised I should have checked my APG's first. Out of the 2 I had left, one was for 43p :rotfl:So 1p for 16pints of milk and 3 Palmolives. My fav SA was on reductions so I gave her a pile of Palmolive vouchers and explained the situation with them. She's always so lovely so was nice to give something back 
Yesterday there was a dear little old lady looking at Tetley teabags and she was calculating the best value for money :TBut she only noticed the 80pk and 240pk (80pk better value:eek::mad:) She picked up 3 x 80pk so I ran after her with a 160pk and she was so greatful
She then proceeded to tell me about how she'd worked out the cheapest deal on tins of salmon and fruit cocktail. Makes me grin just thinking about it 
rhosynbach - Your story is fab :T:rotfl:
Completely agree about the uselessness of £10 off £80 :mad:

:(:(:A
Sorry I know I'm missing lots out
Hope everyone else is ok :Axxx
ETA: Knew I'd forget some things: -
Purdy and Celebrate and anyone else that did the round trip only to find empty shelves

There was a bloke in Budapest who did that and made no secret of it either - albeit he was rather drunk. And a Bolivian women who was just walking along and all of a sudden assumed the squat position....:eek::eek:
I still have nightmares about Japanese toilets :eek:
Good morning Elite
Something unexpected happened which made me smile and still continues to make me smile.
