  • Good evening everybody I hope you all well. I have just managed to catch up. I had a lovely whoopsie run tonight. I just need to get more fruit. Did get a 10p pizza which was great for OH for tomorrow. I love cheap food.
    Mortgage debt 45,000. Thank you all for your help so far in helping me save to buy the house. I could not have done this without all your help.

    Be good chick, but if you can't be good, be careful :)

    If you can't be good, be great ;)

    There were also the funny tricks that were tried on new starters to a company.

    Go and buy a tin of tartan paint.

    Go next door for a long stand:)

    Go and buy some sky hooks :)

    Many thanks. I won't however buy the Pickled Onion Meanies as part of this shop (or indeed at all at the moment!). My last Picked Onion Meanies 15s worked out at about 80p when T had them on offer down to 89p. Therefore, you'd be putting roughly 70p back (compared to my pricing) just to get your S&Gs. Making the S&Gs in effect not 36p for 2 at all, but £1.06 for 2 - a lot worse than the glitched price result should be. Avoid the KP Meanies as a filler - indeed, don't buy them at all is my view at the moment, as they are, in my humble opinion, way too expensive and compare to nowhere.

    Thanks for advice about S and G, just got back from As, they only stock 2 different ones i got 7 wild orchid and 1 wild rose and vanilla(see if that one works) few other cheapies and a couple of tee shirts in the sale reduced to £4.00,oh i bought 1 pk of coke and 1 diet , results in 12.15 am. hopefully get the results on here if im still awake, if not im working at 8 so ill get results first thing in the morning.:rotfl::beer:

    with regards to the S&G, i can confirm from a womble that the extra fresh (lotus & watermelon) DOES NOT compare ...
    comes back N/A against Tesco + Sainbugs and compares £1 v £1.83 Waitys.

    HTH

    Something i did notice though, this womble had 3 Asda Cereal on it, on multibuy 3 for £3 , but only 2 show on the APG and both compare at full price, does this mean anything to anyone????
    It`s nice to be important, but its more important to be nice.
    The world is full of people throwing stones at us. Its what you do with them that counts. Build a wall or build a bridge.
