    Hope you've had a lovely day :)
    My OH is really getting cross with my stashes. I've been banned from getting any more beer or pepsi (didn't tell him that today's was full price :o)
    He has now decided that I have a form of OCD as I won't stop whoopsieing even though we've nowhere to put it, still have a fridge rammed full of OJ, cupboards full of cleaning products, dozens of shampoos, lenors (from SSM) hair dyes from superdrug, several boxes of palmolives and original source from S's.
    Kitchen cupboards are full of cheap rice, pasta, sauces etc from the recent A's bargains and now boxes of PG tips!!
    I haven't told him that the boot of the car is full of the £1 laundry tabs I found in A's today :rotfl::rotfl:

    In all seriousness....do you think he has a point and we really are addicts :eek::eek:

    Maybe but its 1 addiction I don't want curing, plus if it is an addiction its a harmless one :)
    I wouldn't stress as there are worse things to be addicted to.. look at it the other way and think of yourself as just being a savvy shopper and saving money. Unfortunately, we live in an age where people are quite lazy, reckless with money and wasteful (everything from doing auto renewal on insurance policies to buying takeaways quite a lot and then throwing out fresh food). I know which side of the fence I'm on and I take great delight in saving money :D I think we should all be congratulated and get a pat on the back - so he is a pat from me for each and every one of you :j:j

    Had a similar conversation with my mum earlier. She said that even if we had tonnes of cash I'd still go for my bargains. I looked at her and nodded.

    Love to my two angels that I will never forget.
  • So any big glitches I've missed these last few days? or is everybody busy with petrol coupons and JTD shops.

    I have a APG of £7 to use tomorrow and unsure what to buy:o:o

    Suppose I'd better re-introduce myself: I've been lurking on here for the past few days (I used to post under the name 'adammccance' during the brilliant DTD days).

    I'm moving back to Blackpool as I recently got engaged and have a new job located in Preston. This means I need as much help as I can get on the shopping front!

    Of course, once I'm back in the swing of things, I will be sharing my finds as I used to before.

    It's great to see so many familiar names from those days - nikkilala, celebrate, etc. Where's karlie88 these days?
    Welcome back Adam aaarrrggghhh.
    Love your Mum, you'll never get another one when she's gone.
