This is the post you needed.:



I bought a banana,a lemon, a carrot, an onion, Smart price batter mix, SP rice pud, SP instant whip (didn't compare), SP tuna, SP inst custard, 2 tins of spam using BOGOF voucher, and 8 bags of the Gal Counters. Total £16 ish (paid with apg's), got APG of £9.73 back.

Thank you too. So I will go to A's later for wine and chocolate. I'm sure I can persuade O/H on that one,

No way. I'm a terrible binger. OH got me two packs of cheap biscuits from asda yesterday and they lasted less than an hour! :eek:

Best solution for me on this diet is not to buy the stuff then I can't be tempted.

Smartie anyone? :rotfl::rotfl:

Don't you mean a Munchie?:rotfl:

Good Morning!

Just catching up from last night, so hope all is well with you all!

I went looking for £2 kitchen roll last night and found none My OH didn't believe me that it even existed, he said "someone must be telling fibs" he bloody drives me insane sometimes because if there is something we can't find he thinks people are making it up!
I shall be making sure that next time there is a good find and we manage to get it that he won't be allowed any of whatever it is! Twonk! :rotfl:

Oh and I was gutted as well last night, I know it's not good to draw attention to ourselves or to wind certain Tesco employees up but... she's such an evil witch, I can't stand her, after her taking some coupons off me a while back and accusing me of fraud I contacted Mr T's CS and got an email back saying that they accept any voucher as long as the item is purchased.
So....I've been waiting sooooo long to use a voucher that's not "safe coupon" on the SS where she works, and finally I got my chance last night... she didn't say a word! :eek: Admittedly she did stand right behind me and watched my every move once she saw a coupon was being used but she didn't say anything! Methinks someone must have had a good talking too

Anyway, that was the excitement of my evening, oh along with lots of those yummy new glazed donuts reduced to 12p a large box!

Hope everyone has a lovely day and another glitch found!

Oo. Good news. As I am not joining my family on the John Muir Award camping holiday, my OH is taking along his pal.

I get along with his mother really well and she had insisted that I come out for a meal with her tonight at her expense.
I declined at first as I hate people having to pay for me but she really insisted (in a very nice way).

Well to cut to the chase, I have a strong feeling that it is a licensed restaurant (I will be checking in a minute on the phone) so would like to bring along wine if it is a BYO place. At least I won't feel as bad accepting her kind hospitality if I am contributing.

May I please ask which wine it is?

If I can't get any, I will rebottle my elderflower champagne and take that along but it's a bit of a faff.

Thanks in advance,

JJ

Ps, pictures make it easy on my poor addled brain

I think it's the red and rose ones of these, 3 for £10

It is currently with a guy in a nearby town who fixes apple products. He has got the external hard drive and my iMac. I just pray it comes back ok. All my work is on there. :eek:

Interesting you should say this about the external hard drive. HC used mine with his laptop which he had upgraded with Mountain Lion and now it doesn't work. I have been quoted £700+ to retrieve the data off it. All my holiday pics are on there

Sorry - think I got the wrong end of the stick.

HC. I agree it is rubbish. My OH bought a later version of an iMac as mine is 8 years old. Apparently my old one was not a late enough model for the update.

Well this eBay iMac was useless. We sent it back yesterday with a prepaid postage from eBay customer support. Rubbish seller anyway. It should have come with a wireless keyboard but some keys wouldn't work. He said he wouldn't replace it as it wasn't working when he bought it off eBay himself 3 months ago so why should he lose out :mad:

Anyway, when we put a wired keyboard to it, the iMac was completely unusable. We arranged directly with eBay to return it as I do not want to communicate with the guy as he used bad language in his last email.

OH tried to put my old iMac back on but now it can't access my photos, pages, documents etc:eek: they are backed up but apparently it isn't usual to go backwards not forwards with updates etc.

It is currently with a guy in a nearby town who fixes apple products. He has got the external hard drive and my iMac. I just pray it comes back ok. All my work is on there. :eek:

OH reckoned it was the update that made the newer iMac all glitchy and rubbish but we were so fed up with the seller at that point that we just wanted to get our money back.

Hopefully I can get to print vouchers again!!!!

It took me ages to get my old computer to do so. I just hope it's easier now.

Did you see the apple laptops - airbooks and pro - on hukd yesterday. They had mac airbooks at currys and pcworld from £499.
I had the chance of a macbook pro at £649 which is a lot cheaper than I can get even with education discount but I dilly dallied too long and it went out of stock. Some are still available if in stock near you, I am hoping for them to come back into stock for home delivery.
