just a thought but can people please try and get off this 'get henlans' bandwagon. it really is very boring and doesnt really achieve anything useful. also, for the life of me i cannot see in any of henlans posts what he is supposed to have done wrong. in fact all i can see is that he is very helpful to people. so come on people, lighten up and lets all be one big happy team.
thank you.

Sorry

I take it you are also a member of the virtual 'we love Henlans club' ?

Afternoon,
Hope everyone is well..
Spiralling down - you are so kind to help your cousin out yesterday!! You can come and take tigercub from me whenever you like :rotfl:

Logie - really crossing my fingers re: your results. Rest up and try not to worry. Big kiss for you

OH has taken DS out - planned on going swimming but DS preferred a walk to the train station instead! So they'll be gone 90 mins or so.. and I'm already planning my list.
First thing is a stop at S - 1 Litre baileys £20 (use my £2 MOC) then a brand match against A selling it at £10. (total cost to me will be £8 for a litre of baileys.) Wooppee.

My bro did 2 shops yesterday (his first ever) and they wouldn't accept his MOC's :eek:(W@rrin9ton) but accepted his girlfriends 2 tills down :rotfl:
She went back today but made a schoolboy error by only getting 8 items (and two of those were MT). It takes a lot of work this money saving lark

Good afternoon Tiger :wave: good luck with your shops today

That's what I thought - but no matter how many shops you did your average price per box would never be optimum as the £10+ fillers would still be included in the calculation dragging the average cost per box up.

Hopefully people are lucky enough not to have any failed glitch shops then not an issue

Anon

agreed, it would never be optimum

You would have to do about 30 perfect shops (i.e. 90 boxes) for every 1 failed shop for your average per box to go up just by pennies

Good afternoon to everyone. Back from watching rugby.

Shop from tea-time last night that worked.:) I have forgotten about the second that didn't work

Watch for the jellies - how can S's charge 42p :eek: for one jelly.
I need make sure I take lists with me just incase I get a chance to go to A's
like I did last night. I had not planned to go last night so bought the fillers from what we needed and what I could remember so lost a little. But overall a good return - apg for £8.67.:T

Hope this helps someone
