Expert League In Thrifty Everyday (Situations)

Fascinated if you will still feel full in 60/90 minutes time QoC! We usually end our fast days ravenous. Anyone got any tips for this? The best ones we have are either: expect it and allow 100 cals for a later snack out of the allowance,
or alternatively, go to bed early! Best of luck everyone.

how do you know they really are going to be 20p savvy? as I noticed something odd when putting in basket on line. ''for me'' if I signed in and ordered for pick up Tuesday each one of the 20p ones still said £2 but 4 points were added. if no delivery SET 2 points were added. don't know what im saying really except it seams bu**ered up.

I was just trying this as well and came across something very strange look in my basket. There's a bottle of champers in there showing at £0.00. I think it's from when we thought it was glitchy a few months back? It's in stock as well at £39.99. I know it wouldn't work.....but how nice if it did :cool:

Well that was scary. It is almost that time that I lock my chickens into their run for the night, and all 3 started making a distressed cockadoodle sound, so I went rushing out there to see them already standing safely in their run, watching my male cat chasing a full grown fox round and round the picnic table. I scared it off, but I'm sure the fox will be back. All my chickens and my cats are OK, but the fox has taken a chunk out of one of my neighbour's chickens- not sure it will live. I have secured all cats and chickens inside now, but my male cat is complaining like mad at the indignity of being locked up when he wants to go and see off the enemy. I think it may have helped our chickens that we built a 'fox baffle' onto the chickens' entrance to their run. It is a short tunnel in the form of a Z with corners tight enough that the chickens run through no problem, but a fox would not fit through the curves. We got the chickens used to running through it quickly by putting some food in the run and calling them in. I do love the fact that we live in the country, and both chickens and cats can free-range, but I think we will have to get rid of this fox before I'm going to let any of my creatures roam freely again. My heart was pounding faster than my cat's!

Oh this is awful. I lost my chooks at new year to mr fox:o

Do you have a male handy who can urinate around the area? It will keep him away

Drink a glass of water that will fill you up,or make a bowl of carrorts and celery to munch on if you are allowed.

:( It's something I worry about. I have never seen a fox around ours but I know someone who lives close by has. I think it helps that we have the dog and he spends pretty much all day outside ( unless its raining ) You will definitely have to be careful because it will come back.

Yes its the same one as CoT posted just before me :mad: :rotfl:but I know Flo likes to order at the high price for them to be delivered at the sale price
For instance Harpic Hygienic Rim Citrus Twin WAS £2 NOW 20P x25
so Tesco think you are paying £50 and so allow cond spend codes say£4 off £50

But you will only be paying £5 when they arrive minus your cond spend of £4 so £1 +p&p
Thats the theory anyway (no idea if click and collect works with the codes)

Flo has a very good way of working there - and could be better than using the APG!! I suppose the worst is, if you can't go click & collect, if they deliver at full price to refuse the delivery. Get clicking and adding them to your basket on t.com Flo!:D

Evening all

Thanks to Emmap for the new thread.

Made a nice strawberry flan for step dad (bit of a tradition) and delivered earlier, then had a lovely long chat with my father whom I will see when up in bedford next weekend. I have got my father a Nook and hope he gets on with it ok. T's had some reduced covers yesterday so might pop back and get one before I see him.

Thanks to the op about the coffee. I had seen it a few days ago but was unable to print. Saw it on the extreme couponing thread last night and was wondering how they had so many coupons when I had none. Tried again today and printing fine.
Not sure if it will last the distance so will start collecting tomorrow. Does anyone know what the use by dates on these are? Going to collect a few as be nice for birthday party next weekend ( along with dr o pizza and robinsons left from a's glitch a couple of months back when got all the uncle bens)

Mum gave me her Coors light coupon and ds2 has just forwarded his to me so thats beer for party sorted ( well is early afternoon thing).

Now can we please have a global glitch either on cushions as really need some nice ones ( could get mum and stepdad to do the m and s voucher on mightydeals if still on, would help with cushions). Or a really nice shoe or handbag glitch as feel like all my glitchy stuff goes to others as I have no need. Just ordered huggies pull ups for dgs to be delivered tomorrow. Wanted the reduced Jamacia hot peper sauce too but not stocked in my t's.

Still it is so lovely to be able to aquire cheap things for my childrens households.

A kind mser gifted me a tassimo costa code but think will put machine aside for dd's birthday as she was so upset to finally get a costa email after the codes had all gone. I think I will send off for the pods and give her those as well. Then she can make herself a posh coffee when she has early flights and take in the new travel coffee cup I bought her in the New look Sale.

On another note I checked my tcb and am supprised to see they have paid me just under £200 so far this year with around another £100 pending. And I don't remember to use it all the time.

Anyway sorry for long post but feeling kinda lonely tonight.
