    Thank you everyone, i cant believe how quickly it all happened. For a first time natural birth it was soooo quick. We decided to go to hospital cause my tens machines was no longet giving me relief and in the car the contractions started to die again. We were having thoughts of turning back around and going home. I didnt want to have any interventions like my 1st sons birth. But by the time i got to hospital, the midwife was pretty sure she was going to send me home as id been there 5 hours earlier for lack of movement and i was only 2cm. Got there are 1am and I was 7cm.Midwife was like you should have seen the look on you and yours mums face. She even had to convince the head cordinator that i was 7cm and definately having the baby now. I did tell them i have a really good pain threshold and less than 2 hours he entered the world. Its so overwhelming and a great feeling. Love being a WOMAN.. GIRL POWER

    So glad all went well. Hope you are looking after yourself - rather that someone is looking after you ;)
    Smile :) and hopefully the world will smile back

    Ok sorry about this but can everyone please send out some old fashioned positive thoughts and prayers please. Just had a shocking message from eldest child, her future m-I-l was taken by ambulance this morning, started off just with a cold but it looks like meningitis. Now on life support in icu, heart rate too low ...

    *This item is part of a multibuy promotion. The price shown above is the price after the multibuy promotion has been applied.


    Although a price for A comes back for the Cox Apples, it seems there is an error on MSM and they aren't picking up the Cox for A, so I couldn't have bought Av M on those (and I think also the Cox's are slightly smaller packs at A than M - I don't think they compare (AvsM) although T's bigger packs do (to A) - so wait for A to go to £1 on its Cox bags and then buy in T).

    [Edit: "your shopping wouldn't have been cheaper at Asda or Sainsbury’s."...Yes, but it would have been cheaper at M's: M Cox Apples £1, M Savers Potatoes - no longer avail. we think, Eday Value Pastilles non-comp, Cuticura Cucumber 84p at M, Sugar Puffs £1.49 M, Bugbear cornflakes:rotfl: - comparable to M at 31p, Malt loaf same price, thanks for the bag reuse.] Anyway, not complaining much as I getting the moneycard.

    If the JF gave £11 APG most of it most have gone via the other items being cheaper in tosco.

    Is it worth anyone trying this today?

    Its still 3 shampoos for a tender and I think a lot of us still have stashes from glitches and even the old H& B days so can't really justify anymore.

    I did wonder about trying not to buy any toiletries this year but I could resist the one lonely Sally in Sada the other day :D

    I assumed it was from a PP not an APG.
