    Well I have a free sunday afternoon not sure what to do with it yet. OH won't be back until around 4pm maybe as late as 5pm depending on traffic back from Stoke. :D

    I didn't go as I was too nervous to sit with DD2 while she did her first motorway driving. I was so relieved to get the call they were there safely and she drove all the way. :T:T:T

    Just back from S!!!!horpe T's. Got trouted there big time. I finally located a box of 1p chocs. It was the bus! Exitedly, I went rushing round the store looking for a scanner. An SA asked me if she could help. I told her I was looking for scanner. She grabbed bus off me and told me they had none and that she would scan it for me. Before I could say anything, she ran off to scan it using one of those till things they have facing the windows where supervisor stands.

    Sure enough, it scanned at 1 pence! There were about 9 more left on the shelf. I thought, right, i'll take that and then go and get some more. But she angrily told me I couldn't have them! She said "I cant sell you those" and looked at me like I was a thief.

    I sneakily ran round to where chocs were to grab another couple and she was racing up the isle with a large trolley! I thought it was funny afterwards as i've never seen a trout move so fast. She couldn't get the busses into her trolley fast enough! Not before I managed to to grab one and run off to the first till and quickly paid and ran out the store!

    What a cow? :D (S cun thorpe T's)


    lesson to be learnt there - never speak to s/a when issue involves penny bargains. if no store scanner put it through self-scan. can always "forget purse" if not a penny :)
    hope youve learnt your lesson :rotfl:
  • Apparently ASDA only has 2 items in the 2 for £3. http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/asda/bundle/194159_231145.html

    Why am I even looking? Why am I doing this to myself? Why are the MSM staff not on lunch break? Why...

    You would never get here in time. ;)

    I was actually thinking about whether to do a round road trip of all my Ts, I can get in 3 Extras and 2 Superstores in about 2 hours. And there are 3 As I can fit in at the same time. :D

    Would have thought nothing of it a year ago but I am on a go slow at the moment. :o

    Be warned if you get this question :(

    [SIZE=+1]5. During the British firemen's strike of 1978, an army unit, which had taken over emergency firefighting duties, was asked by an elderly lady to rescue her cat from a tree. How did this valiant effort end?[/SIZE]
    Did they cut the tree down and crush the cat and the old lady??
    I am not young enough to know everything.
