Yesterday around midday I was at Haslingden Tesco looking for 1p items. Tic Tacs had scanned full price in the morning (both varieties) at Accy having scanned for a penny 2 days earlier. The Jelly Beans were a penny at Accy, but at Haslingden there was a young man with a piece of paper checking the tic tacs. When I started looking he asked if I wanted any. They were spearmint, I told him I wanted fresh mint. He said he was looking for them as head office had sent through an EPW (Emergency Product Withdrawl) order on a list of items. He claimed it was because of there being something wrong with the products making them dangerous. I saw the list and it clearly said that the items on it had wrongly been reduced to clear at 1p. On the list were:

Moshi Monsters sweets
Tic Tacs (both varieties)
Fizzers
Jelly Beans.

To double ckeck what was happening I went to Great Harwood, and found all these items missing, plus a box full of the Calofornia Honey Nuts was also missing from the shelf.

So I decided not to continue on my search further a field. Just a heads up for anyone popping out specially.

Are you really Ian Duncan smith:)

Not that dangerous sweetie line again:D

Good luck with finding some soon

good morning all wanted to thank truelymadly, calmspirit and tinyshoes for thinking of me your caring messages mean a lot to me.

things got bad after gs 1st birthday and not seeing him then dil got mum who is nearly 70 arrested she reckoned she had been threatening and harrasing her luckily cctv proved she was lying but mum was devastated never been in police station before. police always beleive dil but she has put 2 exes in prison and trying to put my son inside all for same charge had her own brother arrested, and made claims about her mum stepdad and other brother and 2 friends to police over 10 years. up until recently, i am very naive and believed everything and felt sorry for her and supported her even over my son. when i found out after getting my son out of the house she had her new boyfriend in the next day i realized what a fool i have been, now i have found out she is expecting from yet another lad she has 6 kids in care this baby will also go straight into care, which is so sad...
i have also been a bit of a cow to oh we used to do everthing together but over the last couple of years i noticed he stopped getting me to help with work or the horses etc, instead of talking to him i decided he does not want to be together anymore after 20 years is fed up so i have been pushing him further away, after braking down with him i discovered the truth, i had an accident a few years ago and in his words "you nearly died in my arms i am not going to let you do anything dangerous or that may hurt you ever again i will not risk loosing you "
what a total idiot i have been we love each other so much but i nearly throw it all away. maybe if i was not so upset with everything else i would have behaved differently
we have talked for hours and my life is back on track and what ever else happens now we will face it together

Tears..... But happy ones on the whole.

Wishing you and OH all the luck and love in the world:A

Get someone tall to get the carton down and take the boxes out of it, I'm sure they won't be marked.

I had to go and get a broom to get a box of the thorntons chocs down a couple of weeks ago but scanned at full price

From tears to giggles in 2 minutes flat.
What a brilliant thread this is:A
