Will keep it in mind. The Lid1 here was a disappointment as it was grubby and seemed to have an awful lot of junk food, but I know my parents also really like their Ald1.
I think I've also heard good things about their cat food!

Morning Rising,
Guess you are hard at work by now. Hope you get on ok. I am a little worried you may be doing too much. It sounds like your hours have gone up alot...
Glad you discovered the Al*di Digestive biscuits. I always buy those and they taste exactly the same and are an AMAZING price :T. I don't feel so bad when I eat half a packet now.

Will have to do this in bits!I think I'm further up the coast than you. I can get to the Jewel in 15 minutes (10 when I forget about that mad 50 mph zone
).
TBH I am absolutely shatteredI did have the option of having yesterday off BUT it would've meant I'm practically FT next week so worked 4 hours ....it's been a lot this week (and I could've done yest off) but think I'll really need those hours off next week so .... anyway, I'll get there!
That 50 mph zone .... does my head in as I'm just about the only beeping one that does 50 :mad: BUT you can guarantee the 1 time I forget .. there will be a beeping speed trap in operation!;)
ETA meant to say .... I have a rough idea of where you'll be now (as you probably will for me!)
If you need a hand with anything or are stuck for lifts anywhere / need shopping - please do give me a yell and I'm more than happy to help out if I canAm trying to do an asda online order but have 'mislaid' my debit card.
Hope you found your card Beanie?RosaBernicia wrote: »Hmmmm, I keep meaning to try out the Ald1 here - it would mean a detour on the way home but might be worth it. Thanks for the potential motivation
Agree with the others Rosa def worth it ... wee cat loves the cat sticks! (95p for 10 and I think they can be anything up to 60p for 3 :eek: in the big SM)
Li*dl stores are further away (around 20 miles) - but there is also a Farm*foods & a £shop there so I really must make the effort and go even every 3 months to do some stocking upGrocery Challenge £211/£455 (01/01-31/03)

Yup ... I have absolutely nothing planned!:D ETA I have a lot of diaries to catch up on!:o
I do have a 10% off voucher for P@H so may go & stock up on Maisie's wet food and treat biccies AND a £5 off £35 spend for M&S .... both need to be used by the end of the month
Anyway ... may take a trip to The Fort if I'm feeling OK - prob on Sunday when I've recharged the batteries!
In fact ... I may go through the wee town with the £shop in(only a slight detour!)
