It's sort of like this: http://www.wickes.co.uk/wallpaper-steam-stripper/invt/610001/

One of the attachments is like a nozzle with protection for your hand so that the steam comes out a bit like water from a hose-pipe. It's brilliant. You can also use it for steam-cleaning a microwave or something too but I have not used it for that.

I think they are talking about a wallpaper stripper, something like this...http://www.amazon.co.uk/Earlex-SS77-Semi-Wallpaper-Stripper/dp/B000V1YIQ0

They can be bought cheaper than this. Also one of those steam cleaners would work, and even possibly one of the vax steam mops that so many of us have.

Sorry, replied too quickly. But yes, I was. I don't think the vax steam mop would work as you'd have not control over it!

If it's any consolation I'm stuck home too while misery guts is out. STILL :mad: does he not realise I've got scanning to do??

I'm sitting here writing my dad's guide to retirement, the MSE/Elite way :rotfl:

So far she's gone to the cinema and BOUGHT two tickets, BOUGHT kiosk food :eek: and is now looking for something to do for lunch

I've reminded her she has an aunt who lives near to the shops and she could stop in there with the wee one for lunch :money:

Hello. I doubt the wombles-in-the-waiting (those with the 3 hours) are going to be any use. They live on pot noodles here:( - in both different stores apparently:(:((:p:rotfl:).

One of them has got four lots of £3.10 off. Another receipt several weeks ago also had manu. coupons off - all £3.10 and four reductions, each of that same amount. What's this £3.10 off thing?

Seems my own shop (unplanned:() is going to be the bigger return again. I must stop doing APG shops ad hoc when I notice items that have different prices instore than what I saw online. Saw some Ambrosia Devon Dreams, all in a basket with big 50p price. They were 89p(?) or any 3 for £2 on msm last night - so I thought one of them would scan at 89p. Now - how to 'hide' that and small store, not going through SS (only to scan the Dream at 50p and then have to put the entire shop of 8+ items back). Went through tills and paid as normal. Looked at receipt on way out - Dream scanned at 50p:(:(.

Thought I'd use APG shop as, although it loses out vs everywhere else, you've all taught me to not always go for technically best but sometimes an item that slightly loses out, in the hope of qualifying for a greater saving from something else, is better. Should have been about minus £1.20 (£2 GC less 10% cheaper than competitor's higher price), instead it cost around 80p:eek: - and then an extra penny as I used a banana as a filler, on a Waities comparison, where it'll be N/A. Just in order to ensure I had more than 8 items, as these unplanned shops fail. Store didn't have the 30 pack Shredded Wheat - can you believe that? So I'll have my own 50p take-money-away-from you thing:mad:.

I shall have to stop doing full shops on prompted by an apparent misprice that turns out not to be. It's not savvy. Need to ensure the wombles now cover all I've spent - but, on my rate, it'll take me eight years before I cover that.

I've - of course! - got way off track and diverted you all to this now rather than my original question to which I'll get no answer - unless I reiterate it at this point. What's the £3.10 manuf. coupon x4 thing?
