    Many congratulations to BB!

    :T

    Dare I ask...what will you be doing with the money?

    (Stick it into an ISA account)

    :D

    We got married last October and put quite a bit on our credit cards, I want to pay it off. I don't know what my husband will want to do though....

    dd2 and I were targets of an attempted trouting a few years ago, when she was five or six. We'd picked up some sparkly trainers and they went through self-scan at 4p. The trout pounced and tried to refuse to sell them to me even at the price on the label. dd2 started to cry and I asked trout to explain exactly why she couldn't have the sparkly trainers. Exit trout stage left pursued by mama-bear :rotfl:

    If I worked on the hot chicken counter at a supermarket their chickens would be served skinless ...

    I'd be round the back munching it all.:D


    Oh FloFlo, not a good example to set to the children at that place that we won't mention until tomorrow.:rotfl::rotfl:

    When you have a 4p item before you get to the tills have the money ready, exact money if possible, scan like a demon then lob the cash in the machine, put the goods in a bag at your feet and stand on the bag handle, scan normal shopping, then if trout comes swimming along tell her hands off those are your items as you have paid for them :)

    Love it! :rotfl::rotfl:

    That is good fairclaire. :)

    Hope you have a good trip. Are you staying at the same hotel?

    No that was a one off for that night because I had to stay In Marseilles to see someone the next day. I'll stay in the house. I cleaned it all the last time I was there. Most of the furniture and stuff is staying except the few bits Im shipping back. It's easier to leave the rest and the buyer is happy for the contents to stay.

    Well done to BB, enjoy your winnings.
    Have just been to Tosco as meat supply dwindling.
    Pork joints with SEL £4.49 but label saying £8.99.
    Off to CS very nice lady helped me sort out, full refund and two nice joints of pork.
