    It was my joke:rotfl::rotfl:.


    :rotfl::rotfl:

    Love it:T:T.

    If I may say so, I rather like being down there. Never stops digging.

    Anyway, I'm the one doing all the hard work:D:D. (So there:p.):rotfl:

    :hello: I'm back from Mr A's. It's getting more difficult shopping in A for me, the way I've been doing it trying always to get the very best price on everything. (I'm probably in my comfort zone however: keeping it more complex:rotfl:.)

    The problem is that virtually every item that I'd buy is not 10% cheaper than one or another rival. So I can't just get rid of an APG and not replace with another, except by losing the 10%, and then I'm having to buy eight different items and with having to avoid buying what I've already got enough of.

    The other problem is I'm doing too well:eek:. Popped in at the supermarket on the way - intending to do Avs S shopping - but they had no W/T Ham:(. As that was a major item in my original shopping, I quickly changed over to doing Avs T impromptu (as Iceberg Lettuce offer at T due to go pretty soon) - managed to find the New Pots & Butter though (I bet only for you to tell me they no longer work:o). Well I had another exact 8 items:eek:. I only took a couple of small APGs with me, and the bill came to quite low. The APGs nearly covered my whole shop (not planned that way) and left me a couple of pence to pay. I tried to use a GC but couldn't where to swipe it on the SS (due to my autism again no doubt). Oh well - it was easier then to use a couple of pence of real money, even though I'm not spending much off my Xmas GCs (with the extra bonus amount added earlier). Last time I went to use them, with my APGs, the bill was fully paid for by the APGs:rotfl::rotfl:.

    I went onto the other A tonight for the Ham (and other items). Another quite low spend. Doing too well:D. Did the vs S shopping - heard a woman customer at one of the aisles say that some fresh meat she had in her hands was "not as cheap as Sainsbury's". To which I thought, if that's true, you ought to stick it on my shopping and we'll claim the APG.:rotfl: Store didn't have the SP Rubber Gloves that it should (in my view:)) have. It's not easy going round and with little else to want to buy and having my mind telling me (on the SP Raspberry Sponge) - "that's versus T, *not* versus S". Lol - I could have put it on my Avs S shopping - would only have lost 5 or 6 pence - and got the eight items more easily but, oh no, I had to find something to put on there (and of course SP Sponge far cheaper on whoopsies than even 10% off T's price, so why even buy on APG at all?). It's getting difficult finding items that I haven't already got enough of, that haven't been cheaper vs someone else at some time earlier or cheaper with glitches than the price they would now be vs S, or vs T or M or whoever.

    Then I got home and found my family had used the last item that I'd not put on my Avs T shopping and T's offer going soon:rotfl::rotfl:. Hardly worth buying another 8 items just for 10% off on that, so we'll now do without!!

    Ok then... Lol it was my predictive text . You would be surprised to see what it comes up with sometimes. :)

    Had a lovely message today from a relative of Mads - she said the floral tribute was beautiful and she had had lots of explaining to do re Elite to relatives that were not aware of Mads 'other life' lol She also said she had told them of the JustGiving charity fund and passed on some of the lovely comments. And people were bemused and cringing when Mads special song was played :)

    And she asked that thanks be passed on to everybody:)


    thanks for letting us know, its nice to feel in a very small way the elite and mads other life played a small part in the funeral and his family knows how much we all thought of him and what he meant to us xx
