    BBC2 - about overeating.... tune in. (someone posted this brekkie earlier today)

    I have no chance OH glued to TV watching football. I don't like it, however it was great shopping last Friday when England was playing the shop was empty and I got lots of whoopsies.
    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.

    Ha ha..... Fudge_Cake.... problem solved!

    Well I got the crunch corner, I hope they compare. Got trouted earlier when coupon wouldn't scan, coz they aren't pot deserts.... ????? Well can anyone tell me what they are if they aren't these?

    Was not impressed with my trouting either... I got quizzed about my £4.28 price match voucher.
    Trout- 'So what item did you get this voucher for?'... scanning down my original reciept.
    Me.... ' I don;t know, it was for my shopping, not an item!'
    Trout - 'Well it must have been on SOMETHING, being such a big voucher'
    Me- No, you put the receipt details in, and if all shopping costs more, you get a voucher.... so I can't tell you what it was for.....
    Reluctantly she took it with my 4 coupons from the mag, but gave me one back as scanner refused the desert one, because, and Trout says it.....'The Mullers can't be pot deserts'....

    So off I trotted to CS, asked then if they were pot deserts, and they said the must be, so I asked why I couldn't get my 50p off.... they then quized me to ask if they cost more than £2.... Yes I said, handed them receipt, and they also asked for clubcard, which I also handed over..... clubcard got scanned, receipt got marked, and both got handed back to me along with the Mullers..... I put them away, waited a few seconds, and said '50p?????'.... and got told I had already been given it..... OK, it's only 50p, but i'd rather put it in a charity pot than let Mr T keep it..... I dug in all my pockets, and had a 1p and a 2p, checked the wallet i'd put the clubcard back in, no 50p..... Hmmmm, so I said I definetly didn't get it, so they reluctantly gave me 'another' apparently! Anyway, when I got home, I checked everywhere, every pocket, a bag that I keep change in in by bag which had some £1 coins, anywhere it could have been.... and all I had was ONE 50p, the 'second' one I had been given.... along with filthy looks from 2 members of staff at the CS desk!
    Don't you just love Mr T's staff training!

    Was it you earlier Karlie who said the mullers x6 didn't price match? Anybody know if they do now please? Otherwise the trouting I got earlier defo won't be worth the effort!!!! :mad:
    I had a price check come back last week re: muller yogurts.

    It compared the 6 pack of Muller breakfast/granola in this flavour
    (T was £3.28 and A was £1.50 but not sure of prices now)

    BUT it didn't compare this flavour (cherry/peach/strawberry) for some reason - came back as N/A

    3Dogs

    I have read a few of your last posts since last night. :(

    What really saddens me is given Mr 3Dogs' situation, he really shouldn't be in pain.

    When we did our palliative care module, we were told that 3 important things should ALWAYS be controlled: 1. nausuea/vomiting. 2. secretions (saliva, productive coughs etc.) and 3. pain.

    By controlling the above, you're able to make the patient as comfortable as can be (via simple medication). It really has upset me to hear that Alan has been in pain from your last few posts. :(:(:(:(:(:(:(

    I really hope that you, the doctors and the nurses can get on top of Alan's pain.

    I am at Asda car park out wombling last night. I am just driving out of the car park when I spot a long receipt next to a long row of trolleys. Quickly turn the car and park it in the parent and child spaces (even though no child in the car - sorry :o). Walk over to the receipt. Trolley guys are nearby chatting, put my bag down, whip the receipt into the bag, run back to the car and drive off. Check it this morning it gave me an APG of £4.40:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j

    Usually when I do that I get 0.01p but this time I got a good reward:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
