    Afternoon all.;)

    Today's offerings are the usual 3 for £1 sweets and for a change, the Asda tonic waters and ginger ales at 4 for £1.50.

    Shop done at 12:06 so will post the results just after 3:00.

    Thanks for keep trying this Sfsb.

    Just a heads-up, I bought loose tomatoes in an A's shop yesterday, they didn't show at all on comparison. Pleased I put an onion in as well or I wouldn't have had 8 items!

    Just complained to Tosco as the chopsticks in my sushi wouldn't separate - they said to take it back to the store for a full refund :)

    I wouldn't normally have bought sushi as it's too expensive (£3 :eek:) but had a real craving for it (plus I probably would have eaten it with my fingers anyway :rotfl:) so RESULT :j

    On the plus side Weetabix sent me 8 envelopes with 8 50p Safecoupons for Alpen bars valid for 2 weeks as I had printing problems - the codes on the boxes would not work for me.
    Also a £3 Nivea MOC in response to an email at the weekend regarding a product - very quick.
    Also hoping I've been on time to do another skin cream trail
    On the minus side now waiting for 5 parcels to arrive, probAlly all come tomorrow as soon as I leave the house and there will be a mass of red cards form the PO instead.
    Also no email from BZZ so that is now 6 campaigns they are running and I've only had one invite. So I left a complaint on their email page.

    Has anyone had TPPs back from the weekend, not checked my recs yet but the computer is a bit slow this morning
    :D
