    Defo 16. I argued it should be 18, to no avail.
    A child is still a child as long as they are still in school, this can go on till they are 19. At least this is the case in Scotland.
    Love your Mum, you'll never get another one when she's gone.

    Does anyone else find it REALLY hard to do a[...] shop just using good Asda deals NOT for cashback or APG?
    [...]

    Yes. The problem is that virtually all supposed 'good' A deals (or "Savvy" buys, note the quotation marks with care!) are the same offer or cheaper at one or other of the four competitors, and thus best on APG vs them. Or cheaper in Aldi/Lidl etc. These £1 "Savvy buys" are way too expensive:eek:. The Savvy buys are, in fact, the offers of the other APG rival-stores, not the offers of A itself. 10% cheaper than competitors but, sadly, not 10% cheaper than themselves:rotfl:. Those "Savvy" buy prices are way more expensive than any previous glitch ones we got and I end up looking through the "Savvy buys" now and rejecting almost all of them in turn as more expensive than our previous price. Not Savvy buys at all!

    Anyway...I'd best avoid getting onto this and giving myself time to forget M's prices.

    In my 'normal' store, they are £1.50 and BOGOF. I've happily been using 2 of the 50 points on any Jusroll product against 2 rolls of pastry and they have gone tyhrough as 50p off, not 50 points. So, 50p for 2 rolls ie 25p each :D:D:D:D ! Goes well with the ars of 25p Robertsons from earlie this year.

    I go to cs to get the points added ;)

    A v M from a womble today

    Don't know if any help to Savvy

    Yes Root Ginger £2/kg in M.
    Tenderheart Cabbage 60p (as per vs T as well) - not cheapest price - Cabbages go down to 50p, but M does have at 60p. Cherry Tomatoes - I believe that v.v. good vs T at the mo.? Not sure if that size or not - it may well be!:T:D (Obviously not caught up with or read intervening posts in the meantime!)

    It is/was of help, therefore, as jogged my memory on the Ginger! Moving that and the info. on the Cabbages to M 'sort-of'-list now.

    It wasnt to do with him still being considered a child. It was when a child is considered to be able to make adult decisions:eek: at that age, he can leave home.. this was a recorder (apparently higher up than a judge and more experienced(and very nice eye candy he was too)!) from the high court, not a normal judge due to the complexity of our case.

    Dont think he had children of his own:o
    Please don't judge me. you couldn't handle half of what I've been through.
