Good morning. I'm a bit sore this morning as (like another poster earlier), I have had Stan hit me in the face with his elbow. He sleeps like a manic pig especially when he's been on the ale.

I'm off to Asda in a bit, and i'm just so glad I don't live near Bradley. Hopefully, there will be lots of Bombay potatoes in my local.

My Ex used to have the odd nightmare. I woke up in the middle of the night to find he'd yanked me out of bed and was trying to stuff me underneath the bed (he thought there was an earthquake and was trying to put me underneath to avoid the collapsing ceiling). All very good of him - trouble was, we had a divan with only about 4 inches of clearance underneath.

Seeing that 'everyone' is posting T comps (I'd just seen the prev. one and wondered why 150g Blackberries in T at £1.00 when Avs M with glitch? But then realised it was 150g T Blackcurrants that were bought), I may as well post this womble info. As usual, I would not even bother buying any of these items at all, they 'saved' £3.96 - in other words, they did something wrong! They lost out compared to buying all the comparables at A and then 10% cheaper than the amount that they 'saved'. Of course, T was "pleased" to say they'd "saved" £x. (I'd never seen that message before!:rotfl:)
They even left the (worthless) 'saved' piece of paper in the trolley:rotfl::rotfl:.

Confirms that T's Avocado does compare vs M - although T have it at £1.75. I have it as OOS in M last time but seen it later in M at £1.00. I let you know, on 'the List' when it comes back in at £1.00.

I wouldn't even buy any of this lot vs T's price on them. As a little game, once the shops are shut and I haven't shopping to prepare, I might reorganise all this lot into different baskets, alternative items and get it down to something where the items are 'saving' money! Then again why bother doing that! J2Os for instance - they actually paid £2.14! But they 'saved' £3.96 on the whole shop, so that's alright then!:rotfl::rotfl:Customer in front of me at the till last time got a PP for two pence!:rotfl:I sort of audibly said "two pence!", as I then took some shopping, gave T two pence, paying them:eek: for the refund they've given her, converted my £9.83 voucher into a £5.02 one and took all the shopping away!:D

250g Flora anyone - at £1.15??:rotfl:
I wouldn't even do the BE Potato Waffles on Avs T. Smaller pack than an own brand version that was cheaper than £1 in T. Veg Soup at £2.50 (or even £2.50-10%) is too expensive. 3 pack beans at well over £1 when Beans Fridge pack £1 or 4 pack Branstons go down to that is just... well..:silenced:

:eek: I now notice they are 3x 200g (small ones):eek::eek:_pale_:rotfl::rotfl:

Either I'm mean or the kids are spoilt - we have around 50 packs left and I only bought around 60! :rotfl:

I also have quite a few packs left, they are strictly stock controlled by DS2 who keeps a mental note of who eats what and when.
DS1 had a friend round the other day, when DS2 got home from school he marched into the lounge and demanded to know what, if anything, the friend had eaten since he'd been here :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Luckily Everyone who visits my home is used to the interrogation

Can anyone who has Sky HD tell me if all their channels are working? Apparently my sky sports 1 and sky sports news HD channels haven't been working since yesterday. The normal channels are ok....just the HD ones not working.

Now I don't give a flying fox about the sports channels but my OH has the hump about it :cool: I just wondered if everyone's is the same before I have to get on the phone to sky

TIA

Mine working fine
