    Gift cards are an exclusion on the APG - taken from APG - vouchers cannot be redeemed against the following categories Kiosk (including Tobacco and News & Magazines), Fuel, Lottery, Gift Cards, Mobile Top-Ups, Optical and Pharmacy or used on online for Asda Direct

    Celebrate - I am happy to post the rest of the shop but it is just the usual 8 items that everyone regularly gets

    morning it was more items that compare or don't i do feel it's important we all feed back to each other, that's where the team work comes in;)

    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.

    tyzer you're a star, many thanks:A

    i am going to play it safe with the foam i bought last night, I have to colour my hair every week:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: and have plenty of shampoo from DTD:o

    happy glitching guys :):):):)

    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.
    Lets just keep on going:)

    Very wise words my friend - couldn't agree more.:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T

    Guys, I feel I need to intervene here because over the last couple of days there seems to have been a fair bit of arguing and unpleasantness on the thread.

    As you know this thread is permitted by MSE as a chat thread for you all but it has to stay within the rules and not cause the forum team any problems or put pressure on their limited resources by having to follow up complaints and reports etc.

    On a couple of occasions just recently it has got a bit too close to being a problem so it would be a good time right now to just take a step back, chill out a little and return the thread to peace and harmony.

    Thanks :)

    Its so good to know you are still here with us - hopefully with you by our sides, sense will prevail and we will soon be running back to normal xxxx

    Thaks redfox. Shall bookmark this post and bump where necessary.

    Main mantra I think is DFTT - but some of the worst unpleasantness last night was "in-house", from long-standing 11+ers. Lets get our own house in order as I think this will go quite along way to solving the problem.

    Much prefer posting in the mornings :)

    i haven't bought any tk yet. But sometimes do stock up and do not by again until finished. Some products i could never afford otherwise. Do not buy all in one go though. as i said i can't use big apgs. campbells soup would be a good example, still use it when making pasta. i have been saving for my 1st flat for some years now on a modest income. Now we have the money, also paid for OU for 6 years and have my little car. If i can't use something i do give to my sis such as lenor.


    I am a lover not a fighter, as some do not know me i thought i would explain.:)

    Hi just to let u know there is a pdf coupon, on the coupon thread, for 20p off camp bells products ;)
    I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it. :)
