    buyitall glad you had a lovely break:)
    Thank you - part of me wishes I had the money to do it without the glitches, but the other part LOVES the buzz when the glitch works out :j:j. There was a big queue to pay for the river boat cruise on Thursday because the weather was so nice - £17.95 per adult - I was on such a high because I had vouchers to get the 4 of us on for free. Money can buy lots of things - but the excitement from a glitch = priceless :rotfl::rotfl:

    Second freebie of the day. Very yummy coffee and lemon drizzle loaf! Thanks JL. The guy in the queue before me also had a card and voucher and I wondered if he was on here. Should have shouted chipolata or something ;)

    Picked up my £7.50 hamper and I'm very pleased. No way you'd pay more than that but it will do nicely for a January birthday. Also grabbed one of those £3 bowl/cup etc sets after seeing them up close.

    Hardly any reduced stuff in the Waities. Only managed some 75p Christmas cards. Oh well!
    Debt free 6th December 2014 :)

    If you have a decent pan, dont bother. Its just as easy if not easier (easier to wash afterwards) to make in a pan. If you like it smooth, just buy a £5 hand blender.

    Would say the same we just use a cheap blender, and do it in the pan. :)

    Hi, good afternoon. Nestle Shredded Wheat 30 should be moved to Avs W now, as W £1.34 beating Sains. price (except for NI that have to stick to vs S sadly). Lots of other items on Avs W now - will probably be easier just to post my shopping result when it's in (if my phone lets me on here). Wishing I had bought a few more items now, as nine bought, one showing OOS (eek) and one showing only when logged in.

    But...as regards cereal, the mbuy that the Nestle Nesquik 375 is in shows as any 3 for question mark question mark 6 on a.com, but seem all to be showing 3 for £6 on msm. Nine items for me on a.com, only 8 logged in and 8 logged out - but it seems they are all covered on msm - Nestle Honey Shreddies appears when logged out, and the missing Nestle Shredded Wheat Orchard Fruits (logged out) is there when logged in, so probably no use, but keep an eye.

    I guess that includes me - if I can ever view a.com again - phone service permitting - and thanks for the 'hawk eye' comment that I couldn't reply to yesterday as my line went down again and then was up for periodic 30 seconds at a time. See you later!

    Thanks, I do have pans and (several :o) blenders, but I like the idea of throwing all the veg in and 20 mins later you have smooth soup. They get mostly great reviews but I am trying to resist, honestly ..... I keep visualising myself as a soup-making, jogging-going,healthy-living superwoman. The reality is likely to be somewhat different - a chocolate-eating, wine-slurping, well-meaning couch-potato (who owns a dusty soupmaker :rotfl:)

    T v A



    1x DR. OETKER RISTORANTE PIZZA SPECIALE 330G
    £2.50 † £2.59 £3.00 £1.49 ( Dr Oetker voucher £1.40)

    1x DR. OETKER RISTORANTE PIZZA PEP/SALAME 320G
    £2.50 † £1.41 £3.00 £1.49 (Dr Oetker voucer £1.40)





    This was from a shop i did on Wednesday 1st

    Tvs M! The £1.41 though on the Pepperoni version - seems to reflect A's mbuy price and seems rather randomly to have allocated prices in A among that. Doubt it would have compared vs A at £1.41 if just the one Pepperoni had been bought. HTH.

    Hiya im in surrey, we did have a telephone call because of the floods to take action as floods were expected 10 of our wood fence panels are down & wrecked, our weeping willow tree has branches off all over & a lot of the tree is down to its bare wood as bark has come off all over it, but we didnt get any flooding in our part of the road but down the road about 150 yards from us in same road, their gardens were flooded! , my DDs friends backgarden was so bad that all of the garden including about 6 others were under so much water the photos she took of it showed her submerged garden with the trampoline, the water sat right upto the rim of the trampoline, all her fish from her pond were swimming freely in her garden in everyone elses too! I was very luck to be only a few yards from the flooding, but we are only one street away from the gatwick stream Xx :( Happy New Year to you all :)

    Hope the water goes down soon for you. Driving around roads I didn't know was a bit of a nightmare, saw lots of trees down and small land slides on roads that had banks of trees along them. At one point one road from DD1s to hospital was impassable and I didn't have a clue where I was and had forgot to take road atlas with me. :eek:

    I took a different turn hoping the sat nav would redirect me and ended up going round in circles to road block again. :rotfl: Eventually just went in opposite direction until it stopped until I was sure it had totally redirected me. ;)

    Could see that there would have been lots of problems for people around there. So glad you and your home are ok, at least fence panels can be replaced fairly easily. :)

    On the subject of school lunches - the 'packed lunches' can be a lot worse in secondary schools - it is not unusual for some kids to have a 6-pack of Wagon Wheels at break and a whole tube of Pringles for lunch. Nothing else, just that :eek:
