    Just brought over HC's sofa

    As it is our new home i thought that i would get a nice new one along with a picture for the wall.

    Hope you like it. Thought the old one had gone a bit tatty.

    Happy will only be 'Happy' with his old sofa, sorry this one won't do :cool:

    I went to B&M and they had McDougals SR flour 1kg for 39p :T:T T have a 1.5kg for £1 but it's on 3 for 2 so the B&M is a better bargain if you have one. In there, I also found ready to roll marzipan (Sugarcraft or silver spoon) for 40p!! I got so excited then saw the use by date was Oct 12. I'm making 8 Xmas cakes this year and only icing them in Dec. Do you reckon i could use that? I never go on dates for myself but I put it back as I didn't want to poison others....:eek:

    I would use the marzipan myself... have you checked the dates on the flour as mine is also dated October 2012?

    Ok had a rough morning. Managing staff is never easy but there are
    limits even to what I can take. Onwards and upwards and be happy.:mad:

    Went for some air at lunchtime and just happened to stumble into T's.
    Just did a bits and pieces shop mainly so not expecting a return on
    tpp. Following my receipt popped out a little bit of paper that my
    shopping was cheaper in T's - no details other than a cheaper by figure.

    I need to try and plan one where a tpp is due to see if it works the way it should.
    Smile :) and hopefully the world will smile back

    Just a quick question, I purchased some orange matchmakers at ADSA today thinking they were £1 each as that is what they were marked as with the mint matchmakers and maltesers, but I paid £2 each for them.

    I didn't notice until I did a price check so I got the difference back.

    I know Mr T do a DTD if marked incorrectly, but does ADSA also do something similar?

    yes they do but it's not advertised. Go to CS and get your £1 refund.. you should then be given a giftcard for £2 for each overcharge . Give them a nudge if they dont automatically offer it (or if you are a bit scaredy, tell them you rang A h/o and they told you the store should give you the £2 giftcard) :D

    Thank you for the new thread Snap-Ant :T
    Before you assume, learn the facts,
    Before you judge, understand why,
    Before you hurt someone, feel,
    Before you speak, think.
