    According to MSM it's not stocked in W at all

    Darn it - I did check but I was in a hurry. Thanks for noticing, and at least other people know not to buy it now too. :D

    2 x Kellogg's Krave Totally Chocolatey (375g) £4.00 N/A

    My cereal didn't compare today (it was the milk chocolate one) so I'd avoid that. ;)

    These should compare:
    Chocolate Hazelnut
    Milk Chocolate
    White Chocolate Brownie

    These shouldn't
    Chocolate Caramel
    Totally Chocolatey

    I'm confused because you say you bought "milk chocolate" but comparison says you bought "totally chocolatey".

    You sure you didn't pick up the wrong one?

    Morning you orrible lot, I'm holding you all responsible for my injuries!!!!
    Last night I came on here to find more squabbling and bickering so thought I would post something to lighten the mood a little.
    As I was about to start my evil old cat started howling at the door so I let him in and in my stocking feet, popped out on to a dry bit of concrete to see if my neighbour had returned.
    My neighbour has not shown up for over a week and I have been holding a parcel...............strange.
    Anyhow, as I turned to go indoors I forgot about lifting my foot and caught my big toe on the bottom bar bending it under.
    As I brought the other foot over I did the same thing and ended up on all fours in the doorway.
    As the owner of three herniated discs this was not a good move as my back went at the same time.
    So there is me screaming in pain on all fours with my ar*e in the street and the rest indoors....not a pretty sight!!!
    NOW STOP ARGUING ITS FLIPPING DANGEROUS!!!!!!! :):(

    Ouch - sounds painful - hope you are on the mend soon
    Not sure i'm gonna last till the appointment tomorrow, if the pain gets any worse I might end up going to A&E as the pain killers don't seem to be kicking in today :(

    That will mean no A's or T's in 2 days desismileys_1562.gif

    Gonna have a bath and see how I feel

    Ouch - hope it eases for you - if not don't delay go and get it checked out, they may be able to up your meds to cope

    Lovely :beer:

    Popped to mrA (as you do) had a £12.xx and such a fuss was made at the till SV takes it off to check it is valid comes back and says yes it is the MrW thing giving skewed results - then they were both huddled over the huddle note and checking the receipt - they seem to think that the problem is fixed and they will only see high apgs from receipts dated from before 23rd, this receipt was dated 22nd so they have let it go through but they weren't happy to take it.

    aau1 hope you manage to get your dream house

    Hope you are all safe with all these floods - we have quite a few roads flooded here but haven't heard about any houses

  • Everyone has their own line and when others push their lines a bit further than others people get peeved.

    Just accept it and carry on.

    If it wasnt for people pushing it then we would be a lot less knowledgeable than we are.

    I thought I would lighten the mood a little....a friend of mine posted this on facebook yesterday and it had me in stitches....

    THIS IS AN ACTUAL CUSTOMER REVIEW FROM A MAN ON AMAZON.CO.UK AFTER USING VEET HAIR REMOVAL CREAM FOR MEN. I ACTUALLY !!!!ED MYSELF WHILE READING IT!!!!!!!!!!!! SOOOO FUNNY!!!:

    After having been told my danglies looked like an elderly Rastafarian I decided to take the plunge and buy some of this as previous shaving attempts had only been mildly successful and I nearly put my back out trying to reach the more difficult bits. Being a bit of a romantic I thought I would do the deed on the missus's birthday as a bit if a treat.

    I ordered it well in advance and working in the North Sea I considered myself a bit above some of the characters writing the previous reviews and wrote them off as soft office types...Oh my fellow sufferers how wrong I was. I waited until the other half was tucked up in bed and after giving some vague hints about a special surprise I went down to the bathroom. Initially all went well and I applied the gel and stood waiting for something to happen. I didn’t have long to wait.

    At first there was a gentle warmth which in a matter of seconds was replaced by an intense burning and a feeling I can only describe as like being given a barbed wire wedgie by two people intent on hitting the ceiling with my head. Religion hadn't featured much in my life until that night but I suddenly became willing to convert to any religion to stop the violent burning around the turd tunnel and what seemed like the the destruction of the meat and two veg. Struggling not to bite through my bottom lip I tried to wash the gel off in the sink and only succeeded in blocking the plughole with a mat of hair. Through the haze of tears I struggled out of the bathroom across the hall into the kitchen, by this time walking was not really possible and I crawled the final yard to the fridge in the hope of some form of cold relief. I yanked the freezer drawer out and found a tub of ice cream, toe the lid off and positioned it under me. The relief was fantastic but only temporary as it melted fairly quickly and the fiery stabbing returned. Due to the shape of the ice cream tub I hadn’t managed to give the starfish any treatment and I groped around in the draw for something else as I was sure my vision was going to fail fairly soon. I grabbed a bag of what I later found out was frozen sprouts and tore it open trying to be quiet as I did so. I took a handful of them and an tried in vain to clench some between the cheeks of my !!!!. This was not doing the trick as some of the gel had found its way up the chutney channel and it felt like the space shuttle was running its engines behind me.

    This was probably and hopefully the only time in my life I was going to wish there was a gay snowman in the kitchen which should give you some idea of the depths I was willing to sink to in order to ease the pain. The only solution my pain crazed mind could come up with was to gently ease one of the sprouts where no veg had gone before.

    Unfortunately, alerted by the strange grunts coming from the kitchen the other half chose that moment to come and investigate and was greeted by the sight of me, !!!! in the air, strawberry ice cream dripping from my bell end pushing a sprout up my !!!! while muttering “ooooohhh that feels good” Understandably this was a shock to her and she let out a scream and as I hadn’t heard her come in it caused an involuntary spasm of shock in myself which resulted in the sprout being ejected at quite some speed in her direction. I can understand that having a sprout fired against your leg at 11 at night in the kitchen probably wasn’t the special surprise she was expecting and having to explain to the kids the next day what the strange hollow in the ice cream was didn’t improve my status…so to sum it up, VEET removes hair, dignity and self-respect!


    OMG Thats brilliant - I have been crying with laughter here. Finally men everywhere might start to understand what we womwn go through!! - Love it x

    I like the sound of this

    Customers will also be able to use a new scanning system so they will not need to pass items through tills. They will be able to scan their products as they put them into bags in their trolleys and then pay at the end.


    Edit: Beaten to it
    I use this all the time at my T's. Obviously you have to have a clubcard and scan it just like at Sainsbobs and take your hand scanner. It was wonderful for the 1p and 4p items and great for checking prices without taking things to the static price checker. If you don't want the item you can scan it again and delete it. It keeps a running total and no. of items in your basket and reminds you if you have only one of something thats on special. The only thing is sometimes at the end when you download the shopping it can adjust if it scanned wrong. E.g. I bought a toy which was reduced to £3.75 on the SEL and it hand scanned at £15. When it went through the till it was correctly priced at £3.75. They do a random rescan which I seem to cop 9 times out of 10, but they will only check 5-10 items and if any of them are not scanned then they will do the whole lot, which is why I try to count my items and agree them with the scanner. The assistant still has to authorise some coupons. I think its great. I scanned all my free Olympic mascots
    Still virtually alcohol free since 4/1/15. (10 Xmas/ New Year/Birthday drinks)

    Yes I did. I was trying to explain to you why you got that particular message. You can choose not to understand it if you want to.

    Oooh can I try to not understand it?
    trying...

    really trying..

    no, sorry its just like trying to not understand 0+1 =1 every time I fool myself into doing it, logic prevails.
