Famed 11+ thread...home of the elite coupon swipers and obsessive chocolate stashers!

Good night everyone I hope you all enjoy the rest of the night. hopefully I won't dream about cakes.

Had a 5p/ litre petrol coupon that runs out today.

My car has a full tank because I filled it up just before my op and haven't driven since.

Other car is on the drive nearly on empty, so I take it to T's to use the coupon. Start the engine and remember that it is manual

That coupon gave me £1.35 off.

Guy in front of me in the queue is moaning that there are two staff in the petrol station, one till open and one nattering on the phone. I make sympathetic noises. He gets to the till and uses a 5p off coupon then realises that he doesn't have his clubcard with him...and offers me his clubcard points £75 petrol = 37 CC points.

And I was not going to have one of the whoopsied donuts I got tonight but after seeing that lovely cake, it is the nearest thing I have, can't really count chocolate cake bars. Just remembered I did open a packet of Vienesse whirls, maybe I will go for one of those.

Reminds me of when I was a trainee for a major food manufacturer and did a placement at a pie factory. During my induction I was told about a member of the nightshift who was sacked for keeping himself amused by sha**ing the huge blocks of lard that were used in the pies :eek::eek::eek::eek:

Oh my god....:eek::eek::rotfl::rotfl:

The worst thing was tescos attitude to selling british made meat balls in which the calfs would have a nice life... although they are happy to sell the german meat kept in poorer conditions? As Jimmy said, if they didnt make money on it, why would they sell it? The woman answering questions didn't have a clue about any of the welfare guidelines in this country or anything about the meat they are selling..shocking. Makes me proud to be part of this forum when you see how they treat suppliers/animals. x

I agree... Im glad to say I dont eat sausages or beefburgers unless Ive made them myself and we get beef and our Christmas turkey from my MOther and Fathers farm... I dont ever buy kebabs or any form of meat that could have a lot of fat in... I hate having grissle in my mouth so I tend to avoid any form of meat that I cant slice.... But to think that Ts meat balls had such a lot of fat in...... yuck!!!!!

Right walk the dogs and bed for me...

Night night everyone xxx

we do have chance meetings with each other at times, ie i met naebbirac last week in the carribbean.

Thank you for making me so welcome! the carribbean?? Hope you had a fantastic time x

I saw something wonderful in Ts just now. Terrys chocolate orange with fathers day packaging and unlike the xmas packaging that is still floating about in several stores this has a different barcode to the standard product

Theres a good chamce these will go to 1p in a couple months. I never got any of the xmas TCOs because i hadnt found this thread or the 1p thread back then. I'm looking forward to making up for that as i loooooove TCO

right.. as soon as I spot these I am hiding 20 in different locations around my store:D in the hope that when they do reach 1p.. at least one will still be there waiting for me :cool:

I agree about Crocs so will link arms with you and we can fight it out together. If I'm not mistaken, Miss Laid is also in our "no-croc gang"

pfffft - my crocs are as comfy as a comfy thing, but I have to admit that they don't score highly on the fashion stakes.
I also own a pair of red garden clogs (cost me a fortune from Lidl) that are equally stylish. In fact my 3yo DS came through proudly proclaiming that he was wearing mummy's duck feet the other day :eek::eek::eek:
Perhaps it's time I reviewed my footwear collection :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Totally agree Freddies mum. The other guy in the suit (not the one who cooked the rose veal) was so twitchy in his seat and wouldnt be pinned down, he couldnt stop squirming! It all comes down to the bottom line of cost and no thought is given to the animals welfare. T certainly came off worse in the program, that's for sure. Hopefully, a few papers will pick up on it tomorrow and give T a bad press for it.
