    Well I bought the Prawn Cocktail flavour and they still show n/a against Morries. They are comparing to Sada now but at £1.89!
    At least Tosco are acknowledging that Sada sell them now. Perhaps they just need to catch up to the £1 price.
    Will try again in a day or two.
    Maybe MSM hasn't caught up yet. I didn't buy any but they were on the mail isle, and also in those big baskets around the store.

    Need a bit of help from you all, DD1s moving date is getting closer. I need to get some packing boxes for her. Any ideas of cheapest decent ones please?

    She seems to think she won't need any as she didn't when she went off to uni, just cases and crates. But I have reminded her she didn't take everything then. :o

    I won't be making her take absolutley everything that is hers just yet, but I do expect her drawers and wardrobe to be emptied and the crate of shoes and personal shoe rack to be gone. Oh and her Boots (75%) stash too.:rotfl:

    This next step in life will have to make me deal with my mum's things a bit quicker than maybe I would have as DD1 is having few bits from there. One door closes another opens. :A

    Have you got a friendly garage/tyrefitters close - the boxes the tyres come in are brilliant - very sturdy with hand holds for easy carrying :D

    Agree, her earnings at £7k are under the threshold so her tax code is most likely wrong.


    Under 7k in the one tax year? Zero tax.



    Could it be that DD went over the tax threshold in the tax year?

    Afternoon lovelies
    just a call from TV licencing, it appears that my licence expired in april due to the fact that they refunded me when I mentioned they had too much of my money (suposed to have six months in advance was over seven).
    Anyway this young lad started asking all sorts of security questions, I answered some but when he asked for my credit card details I explained that as he had called me I couldn't be sure who he was and if he wanted to hold I would renew on the website.
    He got really angry (must be commission based) and started arguing about not being a risk.
    I explained that as a senior bank clerk I deemed it a risk.
    He started threatening me with all sorts and I then realised it was the person who rang me last year when they took too much money.
    He of course denied it but I am pretty sure it was as he slammed the phone down then as he did this time.
    So much for customer service, you'd have thought I had just committed a murder by his tone.
    Yes they most certainly are commission based (£20) as are their "enforcement officers" AKA license salesperson. Make a complaint :beer:

    When we were moving i went to a 24 hour supermarket at midnight when they were restocking the crisp aisle and asked for some boxes away. They were freaking huge and surprisingly sturdy

    Thanks aau. Very MSE. :money:

    I do find my M & S wine boxes pretty sturdy but they have all been put to good use storing the rest of my stash. :o

    I think it's Caribbean that's the 'trigger'.

    We have, OH has had old tyres off of them to build a tyre wall. Don't ask. :o But I'm sure they might oblige, I will get him onto it. Thank you. :)
