Hello all, Been trying to catch up on this thread.
Thanks for the new thread.:T
Did not manage to finish the last thread, so had to do some skipping:o
Currently on page 24 so got about 20 ish pages to read.
Went to a different T's yesterday, I'm having trouble locating some of the pyrex dishes that are in the offer.
Went to T's at w@th and they had loads of the old type of handwashes both the blue one(24p) and the cream one (22p)
The blue one were in a large display box in centre of aisle and the cream ones on a end of aisle display.
Picked up my azera bzz kit from sorting office yesterday.
Best wishes to the elite, hugs to those that need them.
:A
My Ts had also 22p handwashes (magnolia&silk), first store had Sel 93, but I went to SS and bingo, other T metro had yellow Sel 22p and plenty on shelf (I mean 8, and 1 broken top). Tried to scan blue handwash, still 1£ something.
Found quite a few reuctions on clearance shelf - 1kg pasta 26p, by some reason Parioli pasta as well (65p), Chicken tonight sauces, Old Ben pasta sauces 44p and some other reductions.0 -

http://news.sky.com/story/1089813/bedroom-tax-blamed-for-womans-suicideHow awful. We are struggling every month and homelessness has been a worry, without this thread and a much needed change of meds I may have ended up the same way. I really feel for this poor woman's family, we are living in very difficult times.

My friend put this on FB last night and my response was....
To blame a tax, thats not actually a tax, thats been on the go 7 weeks is a bit unfounded I'd say... People should move out of houses that are too big...:beer:0 -

Mental health issues are never that superficial and it saddens me when a person's individual trauma is used for political collateral, no matter which sie of the fence one is sat.
The Samaritans said that "although a catalyst may appear to be obvious, suicide is never the result of a single factor or event and is likely to have several inter-related causes".0 -
