    Evening all !

    Finally finished catching up. You lot don't half gasbag when I 'm out don't you?!?!

    Going to try asda for the reduced stuff tomorrow. Will have to be when I've taken my nephew home though. He's cost me a blimmin fortune today :-O

    He's asleep in my bed now. I am shattered too but an 8 year old with the most rotten smelling bum ever doesn't appeal to me! We have had a fab day though, went to a local adventure park and then up yo the jubilee party day thing which was pretty good, we got to see the bloodhound land speed project car which suited my petrol head self- parked up next yo a load if vintage Bristol buses and cars :-)

    I agree, I think you sometimes need a maths degree to work out some of the combinations, especially the JTD shops.


    I have tried to get some of my family and friends involved but they just keep saying its too complicated. As far as I am concerned nothing is too complicated if it is going to save me money:D

    I have tried the same thing but I have been told the same. However when I shopping tonight at Mr A I told a few people about the reduced items and they were lovely about about it and thanked me. I like it when that happens.
    Mortgage debt 45,000. Thank you all for your help so far in helping me save to buy the house. I could not have done this without all your help.

    I tried both but no joy!!! asked at customer services and they will not be getting any more garlic bread in until 16th June (TV) :eek::eek::eek: i said that the deal will be finished by then, can i have a raincheck for it ??? Not a hope in hell, apparently have been told not to give them out any more:mad::mad::mad: don't know if its just on this deal or others as well but wouldn't be surprised if its just this one. :(:(

    I drove over to B*d*f*rd to visit A's to see if they had any bargains as has been reported but not much doing - it looked like it had already been visited as lots of empty spaces:(:( so thought i would call in the T's there on the way back and they had at least a dozen of the garlic breads so i was able to take advantage of the deal in there. I saw a young couple with a baby pick up the pizza so i went back and told them about the offer, im sure they thought i was mad at first but when i explained it to them again; they said we will wait just to make sure it works as we can't afford it else, so when i had paid i showed them my receipt and also said to them about the pricecheck - they seemed really pleased, and to be honest i was well chuffed at being able to help someone.:):)

    If i see any on my travels tomorrow i will let you know xxx

    How lovely, and you might just have converted them at the start of their life together! :beer:

    Thanks for letting me know, when i asked in TV today they were less than hellpful! :mad: I was tempted with a trip to A's but will leave now as would have to be worth the fuel. Thank you for the tip off.

    I completely messed up getting the finest yogurts today (20) as only used 1 price flop :eek:Lesson learnt, but the family are enjoying yet again something we would never normally buy!

    My 12 year old did a fab wombling session with me. Normally v tidy TV was not so today, so fingers crossed for some juicy JTD! Xxx
