    Socks? Did you mention socks behind the sofa - I was beginning to think that's where they should be! it is just the same here. In fact I was going to add socks as Grip 4 - no socks, ever, taken to wearing his sisters!!!LOL What an image:rotfl:
    i always buy new socks for the new school year. i brought 20 pairs and yesterday i had that call "mum where are my socks". he has 20 pairs on the floor somewhere. thats 40 socks :eek::eek:

  • Nat21luv, mhoc - thanks for ideas. To be honest, I don't usually let it get to me; just having one of those days. As you say the school work is most important. I have been on strike etc, but to no effect!!

    i'm the worst for socks :( i always just throw them away and buy more when i start losing them because i can't stand the thought of two black socks from different shops touching each other :(
    You can't make someone love you. All you can do is
    stalk them & hope they panic & give in

    I was hoping for freebies but as soap is £13 a bar I think that is unlikely. :(

    Just tried it and it does work on sale items but delivery is £4.75...wonder is there a code out there for delivery?

    I got fed up of waiting for the T TPP machine to send back my results so I entered everything, every T receipt I could find cluttering up my desk - all with the same cc number and email.

    Some came back straight away to the home email, some to gmail, some to yopmail - so they just seem to go to whereever email you first entered them.

    So I've only now got 3 stuck in the system but that includes my own shop from the 30th.

    I've got one that expires on the 5th - going to use this for the special Andrex if I cant find Chrome. And I've got a couple more, tiny ones so better than nothing.

    I've been writing my £40 shopping list which has been far easier than a thought thanks to the little glut of print off MOCs we have at the moment :D

    MYs for me shows tesco as only showing the lemon flavour and no multibuy - £1.85 in T and £1 in a. It is probally buy the md week muddle, not been instore to check this out yet.

    But if the multibuy is not working you might get a DD if the SEL is still there. Or if the sel is gone and the multibuy has gone it will muddle your sums :D

    The multibuy didnt show online for me the first time i did it, even on Ts site but both flavours are shown there. It shows on the receipt as a multibuy for Flavoured Drinks.

    I'll post up a pic of the comparison later when im home, it definatley works ;)

    But even if the multibuy does finish its no great loss as it will mean you get a pook back for £5.10 (based on 6 cans) and youd just have to pay for the fillers

    6 x £1.85 in Ts = £11.1

    Compares at As

    6 x £1 = £6.00

    yep and I believe teenage boys have no sense of smell. Mouldy towels, manky socks, anything with days old food on....none of it bothers them:o
