Just uploaded or downloaded (whatever) photos from my camera, popped card back into camera and deleted pics from card .......

Maybe I should go to bed

Take a photo then go to upload/download to comp and it will probably send to the same folder

I do read your post, the prices that you do collect in M's is very useful for most because M's prices are hard to find.

Long list can be daunting though and there is nothing much you can do about that.

What I have noticed though is that your approach to shopping is more extreme than most of us on here - price per 100g, price per unit, price per ml is just a tad too far for most of us and I say that in the nicest possible way. Just because you don't think it is a good offer someone might

Then there is those of us who don't have a Lidl, Aldi, HB, 99p store on our doorstep to get the cheapest of the cheapest. For example if I go to Ellon - I have to make do with Tesco, that is it, there is no other shop there, so I'm not going to go on a 40 mile detour just to by something that is cheap in Lidl - my hand is forced.

Hope I haven't spoken out of turn....

I'll choose my words carefully, as Lala has a huge set of pans to throw at me.

On second thoughts a picture paints a thousand words.

You are saying the same as me regarding location plus I have wombles to take into account.

Savvy, if you were here I'd be sending you out to the trampoline for a good bounce!

The thanks button means very little. I have an awful habit of not thanking posts that I actually enjoy and read thoroughly as the post distracts me:)
