    Afternoon all :)

    Been for a wee wander 'round T's this morning, got the Malteasers crackers :) Also the big long Crunchies and Wispas are £1. Got a couple of these Cadbury selection boxes for £1.25

    Which was really quite handt seeing as I forgot to get any sweeties for OH's boys Christmas stockings :o Good thing is they'll never know because they are not here until the weekend :rotfl:

    Didn't see much else of interest, there are quite a few of the £40 hoovers kicking about up here, no use for me though. So that has been the extent of my sale shopping so far :rotfl:

    Re vouchers, (as I've received mine too :) ). Lots are pertinent to the glitches - they still send me parioli coupons, and how long ago was that glitch?!

    I'm still getting those as well! Don't think I've bought it since the coupons :rotfl:

    Mine were ok, I got a £2 off Cathedral City twin pack which is £7.49 v £4.00 in A's so that'll go nicely with the 35p off milk I also got £1.39 v £1.00 in A's plus the £3 off dairy magazine one, will just need to make it up to £12 and it should produce not too bad a result :)

    I want a sada glitch on shower gel or shampoo - have been looking for last hour. Have to stop now but not giving up hope of finding one:)

    laundry 3 for £10 4 on A.com but has been as high as 5 or 6 and can't remember what the others were but only 3 on msm. No really great comparisons though. If they matched apg against ocado the fairy would be fab.
