    I iron tea towels too:eek: cant stand them creased:rotfl:

    My tea towels are the thicker sort, as thick as towels; so they don't get very creased, particularly as I tumble dry.

    *Worried you will think I am slovenly.*

    All is not lost with my failed coke shop. I just wombled a cash receiot with 2 bottles coke on it.

    Only a muggle woukd spend £3.96 on 2 when they are 3 for. £3 :rotfl:

    :xmassign: I'd spend £3.96 on 2 if there was a third item in the same offer that was a trigger and didn't appear... but I suspect your womblee wasn't thinking like that so, yes, they are a MUGGLE.

    I couldn't resist posting my shop from this afternoon vs Waities - no glitch - I managed to get an exact eight items that were available in the store for the best I could vs W., but, not sure whether it saves money or not, it is Savvy buying - given that the four comparable items could only have been got vs W (nowhere else matching or bettering W's prices) and the all the four non-comp. could not have been put on any other shop for 10% off and all are the best priced based on sizes/price per unit.

    4 items on your bill qualify for comparisonASDALogoWhite.gif Waitrose

    Allowing anyone who wishes to go through the shop and waste their time checking whether or not every item was best on that shop!:D If you think it's 'unsavvy', in any respect and why, let me know!:):)

    I had that voice telling me, on seeing the 85p Fruit Salad, no, that's versus T and *not* vs W. SP Instant Mash - that's vs T and not W, and SP Peanuts, they are vs T, S or M not vs W:rotfl:. (Emphasis as the thought 'voice' came across in my mind.) And, when I could find only the Oust Clean Scent, no, it's not that one, it's the Outdoor one vs W. Couldn't find any Outdoor Scent (I suppose not unreasomable given it's either winter or nearly winter, depending on what definition of that you use) so left, from memory, finding an item to make the 8! Got there! Get in..!:D

    (We had this really 'severe' teacher once, who wanted the exact right answer to every question, glad he got me thinking that way - coupled with my usual helpful pedantry and exactitude (now there's a word that appeared somewhere before:rotfl::rotfl:).)

    I need this "not vs W, vs S instead" insistent thing to come into my mind to drum it into me when I'm in the store sometimes, given the several mistakes I've made over the years of picking up wrong items. Glad to say they seem fairly rare now - apart from the New Pots:o:o on a very recent shop.

    Totes dipstick I know. I might call them when I get my voice back and I am not coughing so much.

    Hahaha, are you the sexy lady I am now behind (on CC). So many different names on there to here and I get confused. I've been playing all night long as I can't sleep. I know I should be doing something better but when your coughing up your guts, it's not the best of times. Are you hating the hurricanes on the episode we are on? Doing my head in!

    x x x

    Call them now if you sound rubbish, they might take pity on you :D

    Lol. I have changed my profile pic, yep that's me. :D can't believe you've caught me up. I'm gonna be proper ashamed if you fly past me. :o:rotfl: bloody hurricane things are driving me mad :mad::rotfl:

    He wanted me to point out he is wearing his 4p socks & I believe Asda apg jeans. I had to lay on the floor to take this so I hope you all appreciate my efforts I'm not allowed to show you the other one I took :eek::rotfl:
