    Yep our 3 kids were all born out there (3 trouble-free births) and each time we had a massive fight to get my wife out after 3 days, if it wasn't for me I think my wife would have given in to the pressure. She was obviously much better off at home than pointlessly in a strange unfriendly place, I think the UK leads the way here in turning 'normal' childbirth into a quick turnaround process.

    Thankfully the only time I have spent in hospital is for childbirth, they kept me due to a slightly difficult delivery and I hated every minute of it and broke all their rules lol.

    You mean you were smoking on the ward?!? :eek:



    JK. You sound like my missus. They wanted her to stay bed-bound for 24 hours but she wasn't having it

    no, nothing changed overnight. the steak ones are a trigger. the salt n vinegar were thought to be a trigger.
    so as you only got one (c/o) that would work in sadas favour they all glitched.
    edit- still to be proven ( post 6am) today

    Morning folks. :)

    I'm convinced FGS and S&V are triggers for this glitch. I bought RS and FGS and they compared nicely. All other results posted here seem to back this up. I'll try to do A v T shop myself today...

    Pretty please, with sugar on top. :)

    This is MSE where people discuss leaving oven doors open after cooking to save on heating bills.

    all I could think was "Genius!" :o

    We've got another trigger here:



    Just need to find a single other item that compares well

    Just back from shop with hopefully glitchy item and mens sure deodorant which should compare against MrT at £1.50.
    Also rang Sada CS this morning regarding out of date crisps.
    Gave a bit of speil about travelling back to shop.
    £1.99 refund for crisps and also £5 gift card for my trouble:j

    ....not sure about other supermarkets?

    anyone?
    thanks

    Please delete/edit that post

    We can only link to original source of vouchers here such as the 3rd page on this link:
