    Just a quicky before I go out:
    I have been saving a cookie jar full of loose change. I know I can use it in the ss tills at morrisons, but I have no idea how much is in there. Do I need to count it before I go or can I just bung it into the ss and get change if it's too much? TIA

    I just love feeding the pennies on the money belt belt at the ss machines in Morrisons :T

    on the days where we are both working (tues +wed) we end up eating cereal when we get in because neither of us can be bothered cooking ! how bad is that !

    Very bad :D At least now I can eat beans with grated chees eon top. And then there is baked potatoes with beans and cheese.

    Isnt there some sort of pork casserole that needs beans with it (and one onion and one carrot!)

    Or some sort of Italioan chicken casserole with beans and pasta shells etc

    We need receipes :)

  • Thanks for bringing them to our attention, I got 3 today. Got DTD without a problem but CS SA checked each one to see which one was going wrong and was the pirate one, hoping to try and get more tomorrow.
    :T

    I forgot to mention I bought some of the activity books for my little boy as we were going to a wedding and I wanted to keep him entertained. I got the pirate one as knew this was the one meant to be causing the glitch but, at CS the SA wrote down the details for the Cars activity book that comes with a couple of badges and 3D glasses.

    Just caught up (might have partaken in a little skipping) as we were in Bristol on Saturday for a friends wedding and travelled back Saturday night so spent yesterday relaxing - I always find driving so much more tiring at night all the extra concentration needed!

    Thanks for the new thread Blondynurse. :T:T

    I love beans and cheese :D

    But the cheese most definitely has to be on top of the beans. Anything else isn't edible at all :eek:

    I think it's because the crisps etc are kiosk items which they dont include as comparable items, I think it may also be the same for the baby food.

    The baby food is comparable as I had a receipt at the weekend with just babyfood. This was an Asda receipt

    Baby Food – sainsburys more expensive than Asda
    9 items on your bill qualify for comparison

    I've got to try and get to the PO later on to pick up two (!!) "parcels that are too big to post" that came whilst I was off wombling. I love not knowing what it is although lots of freebies seem to be arriving on pepole's doorsteps today so I imagine I will have got the same as some of you.

    I've got my fingers crossed one is my Le Creuset pie dish from the Jus-Rol promotion as I chased that up last week and they said they would send one out to me. I'll be well chuffed to get that as my 4 qualifying packs of Jus-Rol were whoopsies that only cost 10p each :rotfl:
