Just woke up off the sofa and sat up and had a quick catchup on the lappie, been stroking the dog with my foot on the floor while I've been reading and just noticed out of the corner of my eye that he's in his bed:eek::eek::eek::eek:I've been stroking a furry cushion that fell off the settee for the last 20 minutes with my foot:o:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I remember rubbing mey foot up DH's leg in a posh cafe with long tablecloths to show a bit of affection in our early days. I thought he was playing things really cool until he got up to go to the loo and I realised I had been touching up the table leg in the middle of the table :rotfl:

MY JTD voucher came back for the Robinsons double conc bought yesterday - something we actually need as we have visitors coming tommorow and they drink it in the pint glass. I bought 4 orange and 2 apple/blackcurrant plus a selection of value items, coleslaw and garlic bread, 10 items in all

Very pleased to report a return of £8.30. (t v S shop)

Yes I have done myself out of 70p by choosing the wrong 8 items to go with. Trouble is we are so used to T and A being so similar on price it is a shock when you compare value items from S.

Worse items are
1 x TESCO EDAY VALUEVEG SOUP IN A MUG 72G - 20p in T - 48p in S
1 x TESCO EDAY VALUEBABY SHAMPOO 500ML 9p in t - 46p in S

Others were a few p dearer
1 x TESCO EDAY VALUETOOTHBRUSH 2 PACK T 18p 20p in S
1 x T EDAY VALUE TWIN GARLIC BAGUETTE 340G 64p T 67p in S

But £8.30 seems good enough and my receipt is "clean" so if I have any problems going to CS is not going to be an issue. I got 3 petrol vouchers as well so that saved over £10 on fuel - not bad for a £23 iniital spend

My youngest goes through mayo like its going out of fashion so I am hoping someone is going to try the Mayo out today to se eif it produces a JTD.

Hi Mhoc,
Which items did you buy that compared favourably against Sains?

Thank you:)

Hi all,

Kisses and hugs to all who'd like/ need one. Am feeling a bit flighty because an uncouth youth in Tesco coughed something that sounded a bit like "Wilf" when I walked past him. Although he wasn't very nice, as a well-preserved semi-centenarian (:eek:) one takes one's compliments where one finds them

ha ha:rotfl:

You mean it didn't pop in on the way ?? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

On another note, those meanies at Homebase won't tell me when the next 15% off weekend is. Might be forced to go and buy my fridge in Argos before the £10 voucher finishes. I hate the idea of not getting more off it.

I appreciate the person that suggested I get it second hand (sorry, long day, forgotten who it was!) but I just can't persuade myself to do that with a fridge!! Very un-mse of me, but would not trust it!

When my OH gets home in the next hour, I'll let you know (he will prob know as works for Argos)
