    Taken all day to catch up but I got there in the end :D

    Been a mad day in work today and one that made me quite sad for various reasons. Brought a lot if memories back :(

    I HAVE to go to asda tonight. I need to get a microphone and headphones for my laptop to help with my OU course. Got me list ready, and a huge thanks to fairclaire for the post about the deodorants. That's the one I use so I'm hoping they got some when I get there :)

    Moan Alert :o

    Does anyone else have a totally unsupportive OH?

    I've been managing to do a shop a day for most days so far. I've bought the OH hair products and S&G and stacked them on the kitchen counter where they have built-up.

    Yesterday, I decided to do a tidy and boxed it all up and put it away in the garage.

    My OH has just asked me where the shoe protector is. I told her it was boxed up in the garage with the other things as I didn't think she was bothered with it.

    To which she replied: Well what do you expect me to do? Jump up and down and shout whooopeee shoe polish?

    :(

    Have you explained to get how much your paying compared to real prices?

    My OH was getting fed up with me moaning about not being near an asda, once I explained it to him he now goes off in his lunch hour and does a shop by himself!
  • Thank you Clairebear for the bs glitch. :T Managed to do another order for some diffusers this afternoon before they fixed it!!

    Had an Avon book delivered and got more christmas prezzies sorted. If you spend £10 on makeup you can get an Antler Weekender bag for £15, so ordered a party gift set (clutch black bag containing makeup) for £10. So thats another 2 prezzies sorted unless I like them too much when they arrive, in which it'll be prezzie to me!!!:)

    Much as I love a brew the Liptons Iced tea sounds foul, so has anyone tried the 7 Up 500ml as a trigger please?
    Same price as the iced tea and 2 for 1 but might not be comparable if Asda considered it a kiosk item?

    Also noticed that raspberries 150g compare with Waitrose essential raspberries on MSM also on 3 for 2, anyone tried these?

    Hiya

    I tried these when they were on 3 for 2 a couple of weeks back, but because one is 150g and one is 170g they didn't compare on the reciept - came back N/A. Would be great if it worked now, but seems unlikely;

    hehe this made me giggle

    due to the fact that i also have an evil streak there would be a very nicely wrapped shoe polish under the tree at christmas......actually would probably make a hamper of cleaning products and shoe polish!
    It's the thought that counts.......I think a lot!
