    I'm going to T's on Thursday for a shop and then going to try wombling for the first time like the noob I am :)

    I'm excited. Where are the best places to find others discarded receipts and such? Any help/advice for a total novice is appreciated.

    Thought you might like to see the suit Mr TS got for £27 today in Ts of course using the £5 off £25 clothing voucher. Far cheaper than my outfit. :o

    You never know what my happen, please don't ever have regrets, always keep in touch with people close to you. :A

    My ex fell out with his brother and we did not see his family for months. I persuaded him to visit them the next weekend, too long ago to remember whether he had actually phoned him. Few days before we got a call early hours of the morning to say his brother had suddenly died of a heart attack. He was only 32. :(

    Scanned £4 in mine. Maybe I should have ventured out last night. :(

    Probably for the best have been out shopping for an outfit to see my mum off. Not happy with what size trousers I had to buy. :eek:


    Funny how we worry/stress over such stupid things when we are about to bury the most precious thing we've ever had on earth.

    When my mother passed away and it was her funeral, I too, was worrying about my shoes, my top, etc. I worried that I had on too much make up. But at the moment when I saw her coffin. I suddenly realised that nothing was important. I had to just be there. Do the right thing and make her proud. I was the most grown up, i've ever been.

    I know she'd have been proud of me, and I hold on to that. I hope you do too, Tiny.

    Life is all going to end and all the sufferings she had, and all the worries are all gone. However, we will never be able to hold these precious people in our arms again. That's the part that hurts. I so wish I could hold my mother's hand - just once more. It often hits me. But as time passes, you will smile, more than you will cry. But you will never forget.
    My thoughts are with you at the moment. The end of life of a dear loved one, is so sad for those who are left behind.

    It makes me so happy to read this. I have suffered a couple of family rifts, I come from a very stubborn family (me most definitely included!). I love them all dearly, but it didnt stop rifts lasting over a year.

    Hi. Sorry this hasn't worked. I never said Hoop & Crosses were comparing to M's (at least I hope I didn't) but that they were £1 in M's. This was in reference to checking from Sada, not the T PP one. I don't think Morries have 6pk Roast Beef (not too sure, though, sorry. I think they have 6pk Salt & Vinegars). It looks like this might be a 'new product' for T, so they haven't got any information about it from the other stores yet. It's a possibility. Sorry if this reads too harshly - not intended to! That one was a risk, and I'm sorry it didn't work.

    Thanks Savvy, no not harsh at all, thanks for replying. It was a risk but I thought I'd give it a try as we are completely out of crisps and have been for a couple of weeks. The children do like a packet of crisps in their lunch boxes but my target price is 10p per pack (or less of course) and I haven't managed to find anything to achieve that price for a while so they are going without!
    Never mind, I'm sure that Tosco or someone else will do a good offer before the vouchers expire (7th July) so will hang on to the MOCs for the time being. x

    Thank you to everyone whose advice has helped me in my desperate quest to make ends meet. x

    EDIT-Back on the quest, I've been away too long!
