    Been away a few days with the in laws in Scotland - no Ts for miles :eek::eek:

    However on way back today got petrol at T Dumfries and dashed into store to use loo and grabbed a handful of flops :D

    Can any nice kind person just give me a really quick summary for the best way to use a few tomorrow, as this is the only chance I will get before they run out :(

    I really could do with some pizza! But I dont know which ones/how it works! And biscuits? Which is best??

    Thank you lovely peeps :A

    (had a hellish journey as well, usually 7 hours took 11.5 hours :eek: M6 was a giant car park :()



    Biscuits , we purchased the Foxs on a bogof , 4 packs minus the MOC cost us approx £1.19 .
    They dunk lovely .
    I was young once , now I get older all the time .

    Thats just made me smile, the only thing I paid full price for today was milk and bird seed for the bird table. I paid more to feed the wild birds than I did to feed the family for the next few days:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    That is brilliant it is such a good feeling. I think I have bored my OH with tales of the 9p cucumber and 10p potatoes. There is no appreciation for the dedication we all have. I am so glad we have this thread to talk about this.
    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.

    Off to bed for me before I start to look even more like a punkin than I do already (spherical and orange may not be fashionable but its a unique look :rotfl:)

    Could you all go to bed too please so I don't wake up to another 10 pages:A
    TIA
    Couldn't think of anything witty to say so just keeping the space until I can :(

    Hiya, yep that's right. They are most contagious BEFORE you even see them, however I'd think most people would avoid social situations (or T shops :p) as they look unsightly and most kids are grumpy with them.. Didn't mean to confuse you :D

    No problem, just wanted to add some points. I'm not a medical expert so didn't want to state what I know as fact. I had a friend who got chicken pox at the age of 38. My sister had it 7 times. A lot of what you are told is based on the average but there are cases that differ. Just a few points (my DD got it at 18 months and I made sure she gave it to my son two weeks later), although it does give you a rough week or so depending on how many kids you have... Based on the advise of a Dr it can be hard to tell what to do for the best...

    Thanks v much for this

    I am thinking that we might be able to combine the pot dessert 50p voucher with the 'cake' booklet rice pudding voucher. Also the pre packed meats with the 'cake booklet 'make a meal with coupon'

    Beaten to it. I bought some of these earlier with a make a meal coupon. They are reduced to £1 so = FREE:D:D
    http://www.tesco.com/groceries/Product/Details/?id=268336906

    Did the make a meal coupons scan ok for the £1 smoked sausage? I tried it yesterday at a manned checkout but till said 'not enough spent' (or words to that effect) Did you go to a manned till or SS?
    Thanks for the new thread Karlie.:)

    I can't read all 16 pages so I'm having to skip, sorry.

    From the last thread....

    Mistress Laid - Thanks for the offer but I've just bought a pair of shoes at £45 so I can't afford a second pair at the moment.

    Fourp - Thanks for the info on the pizzas.:beer:

    Snap - Thanks for the link to the claim form. I emailed Barratts shoes and they said they hadn't received them. They emailed back a few minutes later and asked if I had any proof of postage so I took a pic of the POF and emailed it to them. Within minutes they emailed back to say as a gesture of good will they give me a full refund. Would it be wrong to wait the 15 days and see if Barratts got them, and if not put a claim in?:rotfl:

    Motherbear - I resubmitted my receipt except I added a minute to the time so I'll let you all know how it goes.:)

    Apologies if I've missed anyone out.

    Looks like we've got most bases covered then :rotfl:
