    I've been sat here trying to work out how best to decorate me, misery guts and his bike on Saturday :D

    Gonna get the doctors in work to put their hands in their pockets to give us a donation to take, and I'm gonna pick up a couple of small toys to take along too. Is it bad that I'm so excited? I'm going to a children's hospice. It's going to be a very humbling experience, but it'll be worth it to see the smiles on their faces :A


    Can we also please start thinking about what to do with the rest of Mad's money?

    Well, if I start talking about Sains BM, you can be sure I'll end up about Avs W!:rotfl: Bear with me therefore while I get to that in this post!

    I started off looking for Sains vs T, as that was (will probably still be) my next shopping, but then found lots of good offers at T and Sains for shopping in Mr A! There's good Avs T and Avs S shopping that can be done this week. I'll mention some of those (they are separate offers, some items now very good vs T and others very good vs S) in another post, as well as the odd item I've seen there that might possibly be a good glitch.

    With me no longer having to 'prepare' before doing a full Morries collection (because, sadly, my memorisation isn't a full collection:(), I've now got time to catch up better with offers in T and S.

    And!!! This vs Waities!:D:D

    I have an item of sexual wellbeing to tell you about. (Avoid the sniggers at the back;).) The item is some condoms on a Waities comp. Not available in Northern Ireland (which may or may not be a good thing).

    It's Durex Extra Safe Condoms - the 18 pack. Showing on msm as A at £13.90 and W at £2.00!!:D:rotfl::rotfl: Yes, I've written it correctly - someone more technical than me(:rotfl:) can post the msm screenshot on this product to assist those who find my format of a thousand words to be less easy to fathom. And I don't blame anyone on that!:D Absolutely right - should just be the screenshot thingy! How is this product comp. showing on Msl?? (TIA.)

    I've found a few items that may be okay to good vs W - [Strike]The Ocean Spray Cranberry Wholeberry Sauce 250g (also vs Sains)[/Strike] better on Tvs A with the 20% Msl cashback, if you get it. Avs W: 2x Menier White Cooking Chocolate 100g (they are getting me to get my calculator out there, as supermarkets seem to devise new offers of greater complexity - £1.20 and any 2 save 50p:think::think: - why not just say "Any 2 for £1.90", as that's what it equates to, £1.20x2 minus 50p. Along with the earlier one I saw elsewhere :think:?:think: - some scourers in Sains at 50p or buy 3 save 3%:rotfl:. In other words, 3 would be 50p x 3 = £1.50 then pay 97% of that £1.50 cost = £1.45 and a half, divided by 3 equals 48.5p - hardly a great saving (compared to 50p each) but they got you to buy 3 to 'save 3%').), anyway -
    Avs W now includes items such as 2x Carr's Cheese Melts (150g) 2 for £1.50 at W, 2x McVities Mini Cheddars (7) £1.88 bogo'f', Bounty (4), Galaxy Ripple (4), 2x Lockett's Honey & Lemon 10 pack (Savvy always finds the items to go on the right shops:D - subject to whether or not I see Morries tomorrow with anything else on them), also some 72 pack Fairy dishwasher tabs in 3s (but that will take you way beyond the limit if already getting the condoms).

    And....

    (Avs W)
    Hartley's Low Cal. Mango & Passionfruit Jelly 175g and Hartley's Low Cal. Cranberry & Raspberry Jelly 175g.

    On 'any 4 for 3' in W. Appears only those two items, at same individual price, in the W offer so should work.
    A 6 for £3.00 on them (Waities still cheaper, according to msm) but I wonder what if you buy 12 of the same one?:think::D:rotfl: Or 11 of one and two of the other type perhaps?:rotfl::rotfl:

    I would have to have that tarted up in my kitchen:)

    It is all crackly paint so looks proper shabby chic :)

    I'll photograph it in the morning tomorrow, tis huge :eek:

    I'd paid workman to take it to my house & leave in front garden.

    Got home in dark & couldn't see it so felt sad & conned :( even searched neighbours front gardens just in case left at wrong house..
    Anyway went in fed cats - opened back door & there is was in the back garden :T :D
    It's a huge hike to get round the back, you have to go down the street, around & up an alley that zigzags & has steps - good men :D

    But then when SKY wouldn't work I then blamed them thinking they had hit the dish whilst getting a 20' sign into the garden :(

    I think I have to say sorry to everyone tonight :o
