    Im just home, Mum got through her operation and, though very frail, is doing fine. Within 24 hours of open heart surgery she was up sitting in a chair!!!! Albeit with a lot of help, just amazing.

    Love your Mum, you'll never get another one when she's gone.

    Bet he had the shock of his life :rotfl::rotfl:

    To be honest, even I was shocked at the extent of it :o this particular obsession goes back a long way, and before my circumstances changed I wasn't even MSE about it:eek: Im talking....hiding things in the car until everyone was in bed :o accosting the postie before he got to the door :o.....Im not cured, by a long way. But thanks to having to watch the pennies and buying a monster wine rack.....Im buying less of THAT stuff and my obsession has moved to wine. Which is containable :rotfl::rotfl: once the rack is full, my need to fill it subsides. :o

    Page 120 of the new Tesco magazine for May and June - not sur sof anyone has done a sheet for them???. that would be so useful.

    Now everyone is going to Tesco I am wondering as well about going.
    I am thinking Toms/pasta and Maggi but what else?

    The £1 washing liquids look good but I've got a lifetime supply already - quite tempted though.

    my store has not had much stock of the cheap baby bath but I got Another 6 on Sunday - not on 342 though. Doubt wether they will have more in.

    What else is there though I should look for - never any 1p or 4p things in my store and no customer scanners either so that does not help. Might be worthwhile just walking up and down the aisles to see if I can see anything on clip strips.

    I had a look at my tesco mailing to come on line last night and a few good MOcs and points vouchers so I am thinking if I hang back from dpijg the big shop and hope the mailing comes this week I can also use the conditional spend MOC and double points

    Check on those Maggis - they might be cheaper in M's (therefore a Tvs M comp.??) I'm noting my M check to check for the Maggis tomorrow! As I'm not going to T, if anyone can tell me exactly which products the coupons are valid for by the end of tonight and I'll look for the M price on them tomorrow? Be specific!:)

    [Just thought, it may be back on page 13 - the Tesco mag. poster seems to be in tandem with me:cool:! The Maggis says 'any Maggi mix', so looks like I've answered my own question there - but some other products, like the Robinsons it's not specific about sizes etc., so if you want to answer that, you can!]

    Fuzzgun I know you dont need turf :D but what about bedding plants I was all over town today looking for lobelia healthy and a [STRIKE]decent price[/STRIKE] cheap anyway found loads of good quality cheap bedding plants behind the Grey Horse.
    Had forgotten all about it or as good as then decided to give it a go. All the bedding plants seem to be £2 for between 12 and 20 plants and they all look great compared to Morries, b and q, home base, b and m etc
    :T
    Oh and I bought some seeds DM/fairclaire ;)

    Just catching up from earlier in the day after my nap,whoopsies and tea. Those lobelia I told you about were still there at whoopsies but are now in a critical condition in my intensive care unit 30p/tray but not sure how many will survive:)

    Have some other news which may be to your advantage but I'll PM that later;)
    Awaiting a new sig
