Elite 11+ CHOC full of bargains. Don't WINE if you can't KETCHUP with it all
Comments

I too have been upset by recent comments on the thread and really don't want it to disintegrate as it appeared to be doing last night.
I intend to follow Nikki's lead after this post but didn't want to read and run without adding what I feel are a few valid points.
I am a relative newbie to this site but I was welcomed with open arms. I had lurked for a very long time and shared lots of happy and extremely sad moments with all the elite before I decided that this was the thread for me. And that is the choice that we all have. I didn't feel I needed to change people's shopping habits or be abrasive or contradict or impose my views on anyone because I was in broad agreement with everything the thread stood for. After all there are thousands of other threads/forums/blogs out there where you can choose to find like minded people.
Like Lutzi, I feel uncomfortable about new people coming on with very strong opinions of how the thread should change. I also find it rude for a complete newbie to ask "What's the glitch on the wine" without a please, a thank you or any consideration for the time invested by other people in finding these bargains. Newbies are vital to the success of the thread as they bring along lots of new and fresh ideas. They must be welcomed. However like most of you I can spot a troll a mile away and there are a few around at the moment. This is the nature of the internet and they will soon get sick and move on.
I also felt sad that several people got lost off in the mayhem last night. Poor aau who could not get an answer to a simple question, Tallulah who could not make any sense of what was happening, Celebrate who got caught up in a row and many many more. Most importantly Snap Ant who was in a nightmare situation.
Nikki in her previous post has made some excellent suggestions and I for one will follow them. I don't think I'll comment any further on this as it helps no one.

Small update on Fourp is he's had an x-ray, a CT scan & a cheese sandwich & will hopefully get the results [STRIKE]tomorrow[/STRIKE]today
Fingers crossed. I think the cheese sandwich is a good sign!
Lost all my other quotes!
To those who asked which hair colours I'd bought, apologies - I wasn't holding out on you, I'd gone to bed!
I bought 2 x Garnier Nutrisse shade 3.6 Deep Reddish Brown with a SP cond, this worked well and compared at 16p.
In a separate shop, I bought 2 x Clairol Nice 'n Easy shade 129 Rich Medium Brown, this did not compare well, came up as £10 in A's and £12ish in S's, N/A in T's.
Hope that helps.No, Mr A, that is NOT 'Great news'!!

Lol, I can now add town to the very short list of places I can drive to without a complete panic attack. That makes the list: 2 Tescos, 2 Boots, Next Clearance & TK Maxx (next to each other), 2 Asdas although 1 I keep taking the wrong turning back from 1 of them and least of importance work.:D
Find a nice motorway like the M11. i did in winter as soon as passed test.
Apparently, i am a better motoroway driver than normal roads.
But i am in London and passed test in london. maybe i've been trained to have bigger balls:rotfl::rotfl:grocery challenge 9.86/600 -

Morning everyone
bensonsmum, could you buy a bottle of eg spirits to put away for Xmas? Or chocolates? But the chocs might be a bit tempting if not hidden well .....
Didn't do the wine or ketchup as had no need of these, but am hoping to pop out for some shampoo etc later. Big thanks to all who contributed to finding and working out this glitch - will post results later0 -

Can I just add that in all the kerfuffle, I have absolutely no idea who it was who worked out how this glitch works, but I would like to thank them. Thankyou very much.No, Mr A, that is NOT 'Great news'!!
