Just wanted to share my collection

I've at last completed it - all 29 of the Olympic 50ps

Wow, Snapant! Congratulations for getting them all!:T

I used to be an avid coin collector of foreign currency when I was really young, but then lost touch with it, still have a collection somewehere in all my junk!:rotfl:

T-s related- Am I the only MSE'r that goes to Mr T's and comes away empty handed?:( I went to a metro today and found no brunches, no youngs, no raisins, no DTD strawberries, no mags, just collected some price flop booklets (my first ones) and left empty handed!:(:o

I really don't know how some of you more expereinced MSE'rs make worthwhile trips!:o

It wasn't too bad as it meant I had to do an extra 20 minute walking:D

Going to walk to a small Tesco express tomorrow on the way to a big shopping centre with a Boots with SS to try shower gel glitch, not that I need any, have soooo many since my Bootsing days!:eek::D

Anywhere else I need to add to my list? Tesco, Boots, ....?

i got a 200 extra points when you top up a tesco mobile till spit

Fingers crossed I get one of these next week - not had one since last year Getting very sick of the £40 conditional spend till spits.

Having trouble writing the weekend shopping lists.

So far I have a £12 asda APG to use up and all I can think of is mayo. I want to get another APG if possilbe.

Writing the Tesco list is as bad. I have £40 conditional spends plus JTD to use. I want to also use some price flops to get the final total as low as possible. So far I have welch juice and the £5 combination of apples and oranges someone gave us on the other list and cat litter. These will come back as NA on a price match so wont affect my next JTD voucher.

Thats it - no-where near £40 worth.

All cat food seems to be on offer in Tesco this week so no JTD opportunities. Every wine I look at is either NA or almost price matched by Asda - within £1 - ideally I like them to be £1.50 or £2 different to give a good enoghJTD.

I've got several glitch items on a seperate list but I dont want them to go in with the £40 shop incase I have problems. Doubtful if I do ever find them anyway

It takes me longer to do the lists than it does to actually do the shopping!

Another tip for boys is to keep a flannel handy for when changing nappies, very good for stopping being sprayed on:D

Well that's a few more things that need to be added to the change bag list lol. Thanks.

Congratulations!!! Our DD is nearly 12 and DS2 is 5 - they share a room and are lovely. We are just thinking about separating them as she 'grows up' more... Kids get along with whatever the circumstance- as long as they know they are loved, space doesn't matter much! In our previous house DS1 and DD shared a 8.5x6.5 foot room until they were 8 and 6 - that worked out! (we did play outside a lot though!!)

Well this pair may have to share for a bit longer. I'm sure I'm just worrying about something that will end up being nothing. Only way we could separate them would be to literally give up our bedroom and move into the lounge lol.

Just got to get use to the idea that rather than pink and princesses its going to be blue and cars.
