We didn't have A/C where I used to work so I used to hide in the fridge when it got hot.
A/C there consisted of propping open the fire exit

Standing in the fridge for 3 mins would do it

Wow!!:) You lot here push it out even more than me [Strike]sometimes[/Strike] most times.

Any [Strike]midnight[/Strike] [now 1am] shoppers about??:) As you know, I don't like going past the midnight hour - into a new day of prices:eek: at the 'other store' - but this may be okay. It was already ten to midnight when I started getting my shopping list and well past it when I was instore.

No pizzas:( as we don't like them. (But cheap pizza or pay nothing...we paid nothing!:p) And, to be honest, I don't really like the Mullers either:eek:. (:eek: - how could you Savvy??) But that's sort of gone out of the window at the 'price' you are offering me!:D:D

So...yogurts and crisps shop done then. Crisps??!??:question::rotfl::rotfl:

I think there's something looking - currently - good regarding some vs T (for those, like me, unable to find any cheap ones in Sains very recently). APG due for checking at 3.30am - so a 'middle of the night' post about whether this is/was a goer! Also gave the Cravendale a go, to see if that gives me half-price milk to take us through another month (half price is 'alright' - even though I know you've been able to beat it. Let's say "it works for me":o:cool:). And another go on some other soft-drinks - transferring into the basket at £1.98 each on msm!:cool:

The wheels to fall off later... in the middle of the night!:D

It'll be good though if the bacon works again (and the Cathedral if that's available to compare to an offer anywhere else). These glitch-ons seem to go and come back again, just in time to get the bacon again when we've not long used the last set of two packs!;):)

Industrial fridges do have their uses sometimes
Shame the one at home isn't as good. Can only fit the pillow and trainers in it (dave lister style)

Strange you should say that, I have just been looking at GB for when I go away, to see what package I should buy, so I have reset it on my phone so I can monitor it.

I used to put my jeans in the freezer as a kid, think it was on a lvi advert, was nice in the heat

I have one of the 3gb three mobile sims that last 3 months and I've never managed to get one below 2gb yet.
I know i could do it if i really tried (streaming lots would work) but I never realised how far a gb goes :eek:

:rotfl: you've just reminded me of what we did to a new lad at my job when I was younger.
He came into work drunk and was due to start at about 6am so he'd left his uniform in work.
Someone ran it under the tap and we stuck it in the freezer.
Was fun watching someone half cut trying to figure out why their uniform was cold and like a piece of cardboard the next day
