    Babyplum and Louiselou- welcome to the nuthouse. :D

    My little mans birthday party when fantastically yesterday. 30 people fed and watered. Lots of hyper kids going crazy on the trampoline and cake galore eaten. The weather was carp but it didn't ruin the day. Photos of cake will be put up in a minute if I can remember how to do it :o:rotfl:

  • Not a glitch but good return on my shop today

    Was buying all stuff needed and had some choccy APG's to use
    bill cost me £50 ( after APG's ) but got £20.21 back:D, quite happy using a high value when legitimate.

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Combo Breaker Mortgage-free Glee!
    In T today I picked up a leaflet (or several) called Birdseye Make more of midweek. It has coupons for Rice Fusions, Stir Fry, Fish Fusions, Harry Ramsdens and Simply Breaded fish, Field Fresh Petits Pois and Bake to Perfection. Some of them are valid until 20/10/13 and as far as I can see they're not store specific. I'm sure some of these things will go on offer somewhere between now and then and the Elite will be able to work its magic.

    When I hit lucky at the express for whoopsied meat the other week I emptied mine to put the newer stuff in the bottom and found a joint of beef from beginning of May last year and mince from end of may. :eek::eek:

    We had joint for dinner last sunday and spag bol on thursday. Still here to tell the tale. :D

    Oh and found some of those BBQ Basa fillets right in the bottom that were 1p, BBE is last year some when. Have put them to the top, I can't see why they won't be ok.

    in my opinion , they will be fine ,

    coz if u think woopsies are the same and i have meat in freezer from near a year ago dnt worry along as no freezer burn i eat :eek::o;)

    Afternoon :)

    Just back from Ts and for once I actually managed some decent whoopsies. Very pleased with my little haul. By far the best item I bagged was a giant whole crab reduced to £2. I don't like it myself but my OH does!. Oh my goodness, I got the same sort of reaction I'd have got from handing him a winning lottery ticket. He was over the moon :D:D He's a happy man today. A new fishing rod and a whole crab to eat :)

    Scamps, I hope you're not feeling too bad today :A

    It's a secret 66. I feel a little :( today as well because I miss my Dad. As I can't cook a nice dinner for my OH, he is cooking my Dads favourite dinner for me :A:)

    TM :T thanks for nagging me till I did the imutual survey, cash is in my account ;)

    Also for those that did the mighty deals petrol don't forget to register it as it did say something about the 30th of June, when you do and it wants the card number the boxes are virtually invisible so much so I changed browsers. But no still the same, they are just to the right of the sentence hiding ;)
