    Xmas Saver!
    Yay! My 2 achica orders for 2 different childrens wards have been dispatched. Not much but a few chrimbo sweets should cheer someone up in a couple of months.

    Remember the seriously strong has gone up to £5 so may not compare anymore. I wonder what time mummyvb did her shop.

    My shop was at 10.17am and at the moment that I put the cheese in the trolley it was £2.50 at T's on MSM (I checked on my phone as I lifted it off the shelf).

    Tinyshoes is correct in saying that it has now gone up to £5 on MSM so may not work now.

    Thank you to everyone whose advice has helped me in my desperate quest to make ends meet. x

    EDIT-Back on the quest, I've been away too long!

    It was like that last night just when I went into the kitchen. There was 5 of them just working there way across the kitchen. :eek: They went out of the cat flap back onto the drive. :rotfl:

    When I find any they don't move and I don't know how they get in I have slug pellets and salt all around outside after I found 4 one night last year in different parts in my kitchen. :( I am glad Poppy comes bed with me and not in kitchen like she is when I go out to work or shopping.

    Hi everyone, mostly lurking this month so far, really missed you guys.

    Just noticed the slug photos, I have one that trawls around our computer room at night leaving silver trawls everywhere. If I am awake at night I go on a slug hunt looking for it but I've never found it :mad: it must hear me coming and hide.

    Right I am going to read back to see what everyone has been up to and what I missed.

    We lost my Dad at the end of September and we had the funeral today so I've been AWOL for over a week. Just totally shattered in every way possible now but time to pick up the threads again.

    Not very MSE but I have just ordered a Chinese take away-yum :)
    (Sorry for all those who are on diets/fast days)
    Me neither but Dominos two for tuesday was just too much to resist. Hotdog stuffed crust too DIRTY!! :T

    I went on tcb earlier and I had the link for £9.99 cb for dominos pizza :j as posted by smart1e a few days back. So bought a £15 pizza, used 50% off code and delivery due at 745pm. Ill be paid £2.50 to eat dominos for my tea :T

    It wouldn't allow me to do bogof AND use the code btw
