    Thanx for the reply Savvy, I hadn't seen a post with a TPP comparison. If they are comparing :T I shall be stocking up tomorrow :D

    You're right about them not publishing it, I had a nosey and it just states they use an external agency (I assume like As do with MSM) it's just a shame for us it's not someone similar to MSM :(

    Only thing I can think of for them picking it up so quick is they're watching the offers changing on Ms website :think:

    Not sure all the varieties that match. Only pizza speciale was posted earlier

    Hi my little cherub. How are you?

    Thanks so much for asking, I am still here. Not been posting much as I am an embarrassment to the 5:2 club. I've tried my very best but I just can't do the 600 calories thing. I've really tried but I just struggle so badly. The headaches are a killer and my hay fever has been quite bad lately too.

    Having said that, I have cut the junk out and it's more or less 2 salads a day, shed loads of mint and fennel tea and no collections of crisps/pizza/pop whilst in bed. Weirdly enough, I have dropped 2 more lb so that's a total of 4 lb since I started.

    How are you faring and how are the others doing? Hope everyone is seeing some improvement. If not, I am sure in time you will see results.

    Mimi. You are a star:staradmin

    4lbs is a lot. Don't do yourself down. Headaches can sometimes be a sign of dehydration. Are you drinking plenty water?

    Congratulations:)

    Sounds like fun to me Scamps. Why not get some mates round for a few beers. You could make up bingo cards with different room items on that you have moved, and when she spots them, mark off your card. The last one to mark them all off has to buy the kebabs! Great fun all round.

    Evening all.
    Just had a quick catch up and now going to bed for an early night :)
    So proud of me today, I got some 1p crackers :j
    I thought I was going to hyperventilate speed scanning them on the SS, not bought any 1p items in a good couple of years (after a super trouting I got a long time ago) as I'm usually too chicken. Did make me chuckle though as the SA was stood right next to my till as I did it but she was away with the fairies so I could have been scanning anything for all she knew :rotfl:
    Funny thing is after I left all I could think about was going back and getting some more :D
    I guess the saying 'quit while you're ahead' springs to mind :D
    Night all!!

    Evening :)

    Just been up to say goodnight to DS2 and had the following good news.

    'Mum, you forgot to put my banana I'm my school bag today. It's ok though, you are nearly 44 and you can't be expected to remember everything the way you used to. You know how your eyes are getting bad and that's why you need glasses? Well, that's deterioration and the same thing is happening to your brain cells. It's normal. Soon you will be developing wrinkles because your skin will lose elastic and you might become a little deaf and need false teeth'

    Guess who's been on Wikipedia again :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Sometimes you don't need the truth! :o

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I remember my dearest late FiL who was suffering from dementia asking if my hearing aid was attached to my glasses :eek:

    From a shop at 18.10.

    The discount for the yogurts were £2.37 and £0.86 = £3.23, for 10 yoghurts. The discount for the yoghurts only kicked in for 10 and not the twenty that I bought. At CS, I was told that only one offer was allowed and asked if I wanted a refund on the other 10. I took the refund.

    On the apg, it compares 18 @ 50p and 2 @ 68p. This is strange because during the last mega Muller glitch, it would only compare 10 on the apg. When they all didn't show on the apg, I phoned CS at HO and was sent a GC for £10 as a 'goodwill' gesture.

    Is there any truth in the rumour that if you eat standing up you don't put weight on.

    I'm sure it's true

    No, you just don't get pregnant if you do it standing up !
