It is a habit I have one that I would love to brake! Go to bed and sleep fine till about 1.30 or 2am than can't get back to sleep until about 5 then up at 6.45 for work! Not good at all, done some research and apparently it is very common to sleep like this in too stages:eek:

It's called Bimodal Sleep, and very common in earlier times: people would go to sleep when the Sun went down (candles being expensive), then wake up about 1am or 2am, and did some paperwork, prayed, satt up and talked to each other, or did what a lot of grown-ups still do in bed:o (I once worked on an 18th-century diary, and a lot of the diary entries where for what we could call the middle of the night); then sleep again till sunrise. It was really only the advent of cheap electric lighting that people began to change their natural sleep patterns and 'defy the Sun' as it were.
Remove artificial lighting and time stimuli (clocks etc), and people will pretty soon revert to the 'natural' two-sleep pattern - there has been research done which proves this.

Does the 3 for 2 still come off the reduced items? Might pop in later if it does.

when you are on the page where you "tick" the product there should be a little grid top right of the screen. This little grid has a slider on it to slide from instore mode to online mode and vice versa. Try messing about with that little grid before progressing to the next page.

Thanks Patty.....I also unchecked the boxes like CJJ suggested and hey presto the page that should have appeared actually did this time....thanks all for your help

How are things going now, are you getting good prices and nearly sold out? Bet you are freezing out there though

I'm still here I packed up ages ago and went to find scamps it held in barns, I am in one and scamps is in the other. The one I'm in is definitely the warmer one!

Did quite well really, I won't need to go cashpoint for a while

Good morning all xx
I've been thinking about doing xmas food shopping on Xmas eve to get some good bargains .....as we are a bit short of money this year.....

Do any of you do this ?....if so have you got any good tips for me please....I.e ...not to get everything at the last min or what times the best to go?

I don't get much luck on Christmas eve, try to go woopsying next week as lots of things go out of date before xmas and you can freeze most things.
As for veg, take out of plastic, wrap in newspaper and put in a cool, dry, dark place. I put potatoes in the salad drawer with paper over them and they last weeks.

It seems like Matchmakers are going through at full price in Tesco today.

I saw someone getting a refund at customer services in my local store today and a person on HUKD posted that they were charged full price this morning.

So definitely worth checking out if your store has B1G2F labels up.

Looks like they change to bogof tomorrow so that could be why it's gone wrong instore.
