  • I've totally lost my Mojo as far as shopping is concerned. Haven't done a glitch or a shop for over a week. SHOULD really go to Tesco in 30mins for whoopsies and bread/milk but not sure I can be bothered.

    Brain is fogged - IF & it's a big IF I go which Jus Rol should I buy for pasties and which for apple strudel/turnover & fruit strudles?
    Got a feeling Filo is best for fruit BUT it's more expensive. It's just the £3 dairy voucher I can use + Shopitise?

    The last week it seems nothing is sticking when I read/look. Probably because I'm dead tired as hubby hasn't been well so worried about him too.
    Anything else at Tescos if I do make the effort?

    Thanks so much. I used to drink a lot of diet coke, but gave it up a few months ago (can think of better things I could have given up - eg vino - but I went for the coke:rotfl:), but thought I would treat myself at Christmas to a tipple or 9 of the stuff). Can't believe it worked, it's a Christmas miracle :j:j:j:beer::beer::beer:
    Out of interest, should I have put the clothes I bought onto the same bill to try and hide the large APG on small amount of items? As there was a chance I might need to return the jumper, I put everything else onto a separate bill. Will send DH back to spend it ;)
    Also - does n/a mean that it wouldn't have counted if I had bought fewer items?
