    Evening all, no time to catch up.

    Scanned a pack of 2 Hothands hand warmers tonight, off a clipstrip, scanned at just 19p. Seems a bargain to me. No SEL.

    Thank you midwinter, now where did I seem them. :o

    How strange.....your crisps have compared correctly :( yet someone else had a shop just a few minutes before you and theirs glitched! So either you are very unlucky or 2 x cheese and onion don't work?

    My shop done at 1.30
    Compared 3 variety sea brooks at £4.77
    3 c & o sea brooks at £4.09
    Very strange. Hth x
    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up & never give up.

    For goodness sake don't forget the suntan lotion SFSB
    Thanks TM, no funny comments here, but the Argos £3.99 per bottle recently was good enough for us to stock up. Combine that with the Boots glitch of last year and we're well away.

    However, regardless of anything else, Jocks, especially fair skinned ones like me never, ever get a proper tan, we always go blotchy so I don't know why I bother.

    Oh yes I do, its two weeks of unlimited dossing, eating, drinking and dancing on stage each night to dodgy kids songs in the 'mini disco'!! Woohoo, can't wait!!

    Ps, hope my kids are as excited as me..:):):)

    Dunno, I'm right on the Palma Nova/Shagaluf border so I should be ok, I reckon they are used to all sorts over there!!;)

    _pale_ my dd is heading there this weekend too _pale_

    her first holiday without us, but somehow i feel safe now knowing there will be a member of the elite there :cool2: don't know how safe she would feel though if i told her to look out for budgie smugglers and moobs :rotfl:

    Not looked at the maths closely but is it possible that 2 of the cheese and onion have compared at correct price like the shop posted earlier. I am all caught up and I'm pretty sure all the shops that have worked only had 1 c & o.

    Evening all :wave:

    Been a really busy day, only just caught up.

    Frequent, what a terrifying thing to happen. Choking is definately one of my fears both for myself and especially the children. Hope your throat is feeling a bit better. I agree with the idea of a little medicinal tipple to numb the area ;)

    QOC, glad your op went ok. Hopefully your recovery will be swift :)

    fairclaire, hope that your DS is feeling better now and that DH has settled well back at home. Fingers crossed for a more restful night tonight fingerscrossed.gif

    Morgy, will be thinking of you tomorrow. Must put the mind in overdrive for a bit. Hoping that the results don't take too long x

    I've put all decisions about the future to the back of my mind for now. Have let everyone know, including work so will try my best to forget about it until my next appt.
    Thanks for all the lovely messages :A
