    Good evening everyone,

    Thanks FK for the new thread~you'll see it when you're back from whoopsieing :)

    Watched the plane/flame land. Had heard the new song the Queen asked for on the radio this morning, and loved it. So much story behind it's making, will be watching the documentary on the 3rd.

    Busy day at work, and work tomorrow, off out now to T shop. Wonder if there will be any 1p chocolate handbags left...... I know there were some!

    mhoc, I really do know what you mean about the shopping list.... and having contingency plans too in case they haven't got what you'd planned!

    Have a very good evening one and all.

    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.

    you never know, both my boys find it really funny to put a t-shirt around their head and say "look mummy i'm a pretty princess" :rotfl:although they are obsessed with cars

    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!

    how about for your APG robinsons fruit & barley 1l bottles they do 4 diff flavours in tesco and asda and mr A is £1 mr T is just 74 or 76p i think.

    for your jtd on cat food have a look at the 950g boxes or go cat they arer £2 in Mr A and £2.65 or 2 for £5 in Mr T.

    evening all
    where is everyone?
    friday night:cool: mmmm whoopsying or partying i would say

    finished late but couldn't resist trekking up to the T's you recommended brand8

    nothing:(:(:(....well nearly nothing, a single lonely 6 pack of niknaks did scan at 52p though-shame nothing to bogof it with:rotfl:

    couldn't resist the strawberry DTD, went up to CS desk and :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: suddenly realised they had scanned through at the right price :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: wondered why my 4 priceflop coupons for the 3 boxes had not been accepted and dippy SA just over rode them. Of course I wasn't going to keep them with no DTD....gave them back and got a refund:o
    not my fault she didn't notice the coupons at the bottom, plus the lovely £4 conditional spend:D:D:D

    rubbish whoospies in my locals as well-well not properly reduced and i was too impatient to hang around, think i need to get rid of my bulging fridge before i go for anymore

    did get 6 cartons of 2.5L magnolia matt dulux paint £4.50 (they ahd kitchen and bathrrom as well which i left)
    my sis says this is no big deal, i beg to differ, isn't it normally around £14-16 :cool:

    nowt else to report except 3 billlion pricecheck i can't be bothered to input

    sounds like alot of dirty weekends going on at the minute :A

    ..................where's my hot water bottle???????????skulks off:(:(:(:(:(:(

    Hope is not a strategy.
