Hi all,
Just wanted to say thanks to the OP who posted about the golf t-shirt and balls set (sorry not sure who it was).
I spotted them a few days ago but the SEL said £6 and no scanner so didn't get one. I went back in today armed with my little notebook (newly purchased to assist me with my Mr t's outings instead of all my scrap bits of paper!). The barcode didn't match with what I had but I took a chance and yippee twas 4p!! I went through a manned till and the nice SA said to me in very hushed tones "ooohhh do you know this is 4p" to which I replied "oh err erm really ooohh thats good!"
The boxes were all a bit tatty so I chose one the best of a bad lot but think I'll just take it out the box anyway and it will be good present for my BIL.
I bought a pack of the 80's tea bags the ones without the merlin flash (is that right?) anyway they scanned full price so I must've got the wrong ones:(
Oh and I have now tasted both the peanut butter and billionaires Choka Bloks...Yummy!!Erm I'm not sure if I've got the hang of this money saving.....I seem to be spending more money buying 'bargains' that I don't really need - oops!!0 -
Made me LOL so got FB'd!!
Had an awful day today. Couple of weeks ago I begun to smell something musty in my place. Thought it may have been down to drying some clothes indoors, freshened the place up and left, haven't been back for two weeks.
Got back in today, walked through the door and was met with the most overwhelming smell of mold on my passage!! Smells like weed! No way was this down to me.. I'm spotless! Removed everything out of the passage, ripped up the carpet and threw it in the bin..
I have NO IDEA where the smell is coming from. It is dreadful. I closed the doors and isolated it to this room. It is entirely bare with no carpet.. No sign of mildew or anything.. My apartment is barely two years old.. It's not old mold.. I checked the net and apparently mold could be growing in the walls as a result of a burst pipe or something similar.. Just my luck
No idea what I should do tomorrow. I might have to get someone out, bet it costs a small fortune..
Take your bath panel off and check behind it, they can hide a multitude of sins, ideally one should check it regularly (but who does). We had a load of damage done in our old house by a slow leak.
Edit: if you've been away for a while, you could try pouring bleachy water down the sink/ bath/ shower plughole etc. The water in the U bend can evaporate if they are not used for a while, and then you get all the horrible drainy smells coming up.
Hope you get it sorted ok, whatever it is. :AHope is not a strategy.0 -

I'd probably be a bit miffed ! But then, I expect a few people are a bit miffed about the tone of your post - it might be a valid comment but it comes over as unnecessarily terse.ELITE 5:2

EEEk just had my first trouting. Was in Eeeevesham. did a test run of socks and then went for a biggie. Was lucky enough to catch sa putting up some small ones as I got the bigger pairs so got those too
did all 12 packs paid and then got a sa come up and say you cant buy those I noticed they are goign through wrong.
Me: I just did -- heres my receipt......so supervisor called
You can buy those price is wrong. I will refund you
Me: they dont belong to you anymore, you cannot take my things
they cant be sold due to health and safety reasons..if anything happened you could be sued.
Me: I am standing y ground as these are going to a homeless shelter ( which is true ..as are the 10packs I got yesterday)
We donate stuff like this to charity
Me: You donate faulty socks? There are homeless people walking round woooster in thse
So the manager was contaced on the phone......and guess what...on this occassion I could have them!
Me: the homeless of w will be very grateful to you
Unwrapped me double decker, took a defiant bite gave a smug look and walked off
Would have caved immediately usualy but I was determined to get those socks!! lol
Classic, love it :TGood shop today2 x Whitbys prawns, 2 x McCains chips, a 4 pack of frozen microwave rice :cool:, galaxy caramel and milky way cake bars, T value mini swiss rolls and 4 bags of Finish dishwasher salt (rtc 51p) after MOCs and Palmolive JTD, total to pay - 39p

The PF for Finish came up saying not enough spent but the SA could see that I had the right products so put them through manually

Thanks for all the thoughts about us getting the knock! The knock did not happen :T:T but didnt get much sleep as police and enviroment agency up and down like yo yo's and between them and the rain it was noisy, but rather have that than be flooded!
Well we have been taken off red alert and just on flood alert now. :DThey have let some water out somewhere as river not right to the top but like to know where as washland was 75% full before last nights rain!
Did have a quick look for socks but none to be found and there were loads last week before they were scanning at 4p :mad::mad::mad:
