Is this definitely 2 for £9 instore as it is a straight £6.70 each on msm and A.com?
40 washes for £ 2.80 (or 7p per wash) really appeals and I may have to do a few test shops if anyone can confirm it is definitely 2 for £9.
Thank you
Checked these today and they are marked as 2 for £9 on SEL, however, I notice that MS.. has now picked up the offer:-(0 -

echo the feelings of others on here, I am sorry.
As others have said first things first.
1. Get rid of /ease the hangover or you won't think clearly
2. Reach out and get as much info re banking, housing, claims etc as you can as soon as everything is open tommorrow
3. It doesnt matter if some info is useless, grab all you can and then start sifting what will help YOU
4. Switch your mind from thinking "WE" to thinking "ME"
5. Turn on survival mode-what are the most important things to help YOU survive NOW eg a. access to funds b. access to a roof over your head c, access to a place to rant and rave and get it out of your system (here)
6. WORDS-do take deep breaths ( alot of them) Words said in haste do really really linger and you can't take them back, you can't unsay them. Focus on your survival for the immediate future and when the dust settles-and it always does-then you can move forward which everway you decide.
Good luck, have a brave heart, clear head and ask for help-people will you know.:A NI FEIDIR ACH LE DIA BREITHIUNAS A DHEANAMH ORM0 -

I've got a stinking hangover, so it's just as well she's taken my car.
Sorry peeps, I'll see you in a bit.
Scamps Huge hugs, look after yourself and try to stay calm. Something similar happened to a friend of ours New years eve a few years back and it was a dreadful shock and upset to all, so I have a degree of understanding of how you must be feeling. Probably sounds trite but things do have a habit of working out right in the long run. xox0 -

Plenty of these in my local. Scanning the barcode on MSL shows
A £1 v T £1.30 (or 2 for £2) so buying in even numbers might give an APG of 10p per pack. :rotfl:. However, MSM is showing Sada as N/A.
I'll let you know in 3 hours0 -
Aww scamps, so sorry to read this. Some good advice already been given, be kind to yourself and take care, Chris xx0

We will do all we can to support you
Oh Scampscan only echo what TM has said. Don't be tempted to top your hangover up. You need a clear head.

Just did a big shop at SADA. The SA was so chatty and nice, I braved using 2 APGs in one transaction (£10.94 and £11.25). She looked a bit surprised but did it for me. No doubt I'll have another one in a few hours. For anyone considering an AvT shop, I'd recommend the Dr. Oetker Tradizionale range of Pizzas and Young's Gastro Basa Fillets Lightly Dusted with Salt & Black Pepper.0

Scamps I deleted my original reply as saw you had deleted yours.I am so sorry for you.
Get that head cleared first, don't do anything rash. You need to get to the bank first thing in the morning and get your own account opened and the joint one frozen, transfer any income if you have any that comes in your name to going straight into your own account. I am talking from experience many years ago here.
I'm sure I speak for all of us we are here for you even if it is just to take your mind off of things for a bit. Hopefully we can help to lighten the weight of the situation I'm sure lots of us have been through sticky situations like this and have some sound advice. Keep your chin up and have a big hug from me. xx0 -
Sorry to hear your news Scamps1966.
Sorry for being so insensitive, I must read back before posting in future.0
