    Hi everyone :wave:

    Finally got around to doing a car boot sale and decided to take along the S & G's. I'd managed to stockpile around 30 of them after handing them out to mum, sis and son's gf so thought I'd throw them in too. As the car was already fully loaded there was really only room to scatter them around the boot and within 5 minutes of opening it up when we got there, all of them were sold :eek: (for 50p each!) Can't believe I was only getting a couple every week and now it's finished :( I could have sold them 4 times over so if you have a few, take them to your local boot sale! We made £165 with the rest of our stuff and left at 12.30 so a great day for us (apart from the fact that I'm aching from head to toe)

    Hope you've all the made the most of your recent glitching. I couldn't partake but do love seeing all your stories and stashes. My mum would be so jealous of the kitchen towel pics as she pays a fortune for kitchen towel. I've tried explaining over and over about how the APG and price promise work but she's having none of it and keeps insisting certain tosco items aren't the same taste/quality as Sada ones when they're more than likely made and packed at the same place.

    Showing my age now singing away to Kenny Rogers at Glastonbury :o


    Me too, go Kenny, and it might be sad, but I know a lot of the words of most of the songs!

    Well done big tweets.

    I must do something with the febreeze air fresheners I got from T last year when we were getting them for free with the little car coupons. :o

    I wonder if it was just a blip then. We saw that happen with S&G coming up as N/A on one persons shop and then fine for everyone else....
    there ARE 2 different packs that used to work, for ages I was getting one out off the fridges only later to see one in the veg aisles. so I think we should note the one that now works

    I'm a closet Kenny fan too but really only knew his 80's stuff. The Gambler's my fave of his but I discovered one recently that I liked called "I am the greatest". (It's probably an ancient song but I only found it in my music library recently :D)

    Not wanting to confuse things further zippy but there are 2 sizes in the veg aisle in my A.

    Perhaps we need to put the bar code that works in one of our signatures:cool:
