Can't get anywhere near an Asda at the moment... Ketchup would have been handy as would the Shampoo. Has the Wine glitch stopped btw?
Mr T is open till midnight whilst Olympics/Paralympics are on so need to pop there tonight... any things I should look out for.

Some handy hints.
Hair Gel uses.
I used to work in a factory making cheap hair products. The engineers in the factory used the hair gel as an efficient hand de-greaser.
I know this may sound strange but you could try using them instead of soap or shaving gel if you shave your legs. I had some gloss drops I didn't like and used them up that way, like you i couldn't bare to throw them out.
Paper glue.
I had a friend who swore by putting hair gel on her spots. No idea whether it ever worked for anyone but her, though!
Hair conditioner.
1. Shaving lotion. Why buy a separate product for shaving when an inexpensive conditioner goes a lot further? It works just as well as shaving foam. Really.
2. Makeup remover. Conditioner dissolves makeup beautifully and softens the skin without being greasy.
3. Cuticle softener. Rub conditioner into your dry cuticles. Ahh. Instant relief for dry nails.
4. Moisturizer. Speaking of softening the skin, conditioner makes a good all-purpose moisturizer if you're in a pinch.
5. Take the "ouch!" out of bandage removal. If you or the kids refuse to endure the pain of having band-aids ripped off, rub conditioner around the area and the bandage can be eased back gently.
6. Ring removal. Conditioner will get that stuck ring off your finger, pronto.
7. Fake tattoo removal. If your preschooler's so over his Diego temporary tattoo, use conditioner to remove it without a trace ... and without painful scrubbing.
8. Lubricate squeaky doors and windows. Out of WD-40? Try a dab of conditioner on noisy hinges and stiff, sticking windows.
9. Grease stuck zippers. Work a teensie bit of conditioner into a stuck zipper to get things back on track.
10. Soften leather. Conditioner can be used to soften and add sheen to any leather products, including office chairs, leather coats and car seats. Try conditioner on shoes in snowy, icy weather: it adds a layer of water-resistant protection between the leather and damaging water and salt.
11. Leaf shine for houseplants. Much less expensive than specially-formulated leaf shine products, conditioner cleans dust and grime from rubber plants and other large-leafed houseplants. It also adds a lasting, brilliant sheen.
12. Shrunken sweater first aid. Yikes! Your sweater shrunk in the wash. Don't panic ... and give conditioner a try. Dissolve a tablespoon or so of conditioner in a basin of water and soak the sweater in it. The conditioner might soften the fabric enough that it can be gently stretched to its original size.
13. Wash delicates. Use conditioner to hand wash lingerie and other delicate fabrics, letting you skip the pricey specialty detergents.
14. Chrome and stainless steel polish. Conditioner adds a very nice shine to household metal surfaces, especially faucets. Just polish 'till the conditioner residue disappears.
15. Rust prevention. Protect garden and home improvement tools from rust: rub blades and other metal surfaces with a layer of conditioner.
16. Soften paintbrushes and makeup brushes. Rinse clean, then work a little conditioner into the bristles. Leave for 15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. This will keep the bristles smooth and sleek, and ideal for precision work.
Thanks to Mr Google for the above, and I take no responsibility for any of the above if they dont work.

So.... My oh to try and make up for last night offers to take me to Mr a's. Usually when he does a shop for me I fill his basket for him, give him the money and voucher and all's well.
But no, not tonight! :eek:
He came back to the car moaning that he had to run and get smints as he was under the price.... Despite me telling him what it should come to.! He then says he had to scan kidney beans twice as they hadn't gone through as it was moaning he hadn't scanned something in the bag.... I checked the receipt and he's only not scanned an audience shampoo so it's now not going to compare correctly! :mad:
What a flaming twonk! Oh well at least it was paid for with a voucher! And now I can make him go shopping with me tomorrow seen as he messed it up! :rotfl:0 -
I've been looking at P&G rewards. I thought I was too late to start collecting but then I noticed that Costco was an acceptable shop and oral-B a brand and I need replacement heads for my electric toothbrush.....
....so what items are decent quality. I was looking at the towel. Has anyone got it yet? What is the quality like?
For anyone on an Adsa spree and stocking up on shampoo, there are a lot of participating brands :
http://www.supersavvyme.co.uk/pg-olympics/participating-brand.aspx
and your expensive Adsa receipts will give you lots of points very quickly - just remember to hold onto those receipt as you will need to send them off.
We have claimed these:
T Shirt - great quality but not washed yet
Cap - nice but adult size not child (fits me)
Games set - back pack good, games okay.
Pin badge good (DD collects them)
Towel - okay - not very thick, should be fine for hols - again not washed yet. Just ordered another 2 t shirts, footy & badmington today.
We should get loads this weekend from clairol, ausie, h & s, etc, Also amount of pampers wombled is good & duracel!0 -

Loreal Preference 5.56 Cayenne DOES NOT WORK!!
I have no idea how I managed it cos I had 2 3.66 in my hands, but I bought one of these and a cayenne. Grrr. It's not my colour either.:(
It's only a game

Hi if you dont mind me asking please can you tell me if the potatoes were tin or fresh.Thank you
Hi, disappeared doing jobs for a little bit. The potatoes were fresh "ready prepared" in a small and clear plastic container, saying "baby new potatoes with herbs and butter", 360g in weight. Costs £1 but compares as 39p v T. It was Looby who posted it so I can't take the credit :rotfl:;)Tiger :cool:
I'm a body double for Claudia Schiffer and i wont get out of bed for less than [STRIKE]£10k per day[/STRIKE] a 1p find0 -

Did they compare at £2 each because of the 2 for £4 or was it the full price? Just trying to work out roughly what the APG would be. Sorry for all the questionsIt was a whole lot easier when I was just buying Head and Shoulder for myself! Thanks again.
The shampoo and conditioner was £3+ on offer for £2.50, I never even spotted the 2 for £4 at the time, I am sure there wasn't a sign up, but I was still happy to get the big bottles for .16p each:j:jas I really like this shampoo.
