    Did you see the pile of carp dumped by the downstairs scanners?

    I won't be happy if they develop a 'fault' because of that!

    No, but I was in world of my own :o, what was it? Rubbish?

    ETA did you get anything good?

    Not sure if already mentioned, but these are 75p in Tesco - little bottle of wine and 2 bars of Lindt in giftbox. Never posted a photo before, sorry if too big - followed instructions on forst page but only had option to copy IMG, there didn't seem to be an option to resize.

    If anyone lives on the borders of Staffordshire, Shropshire or Cheshire etc and has pets it might be worthwhile dropping into Bridgemere Garden World CW5 7QB

    They seem to be in the midst of a massive revamp and one of the assistants said that the pet food was being half priced and there was a lad there stickering up some of the dry dog food - they seemed to have more dog food than cat food, dry and pouches, both the supermarket brands and the more gourmet versions. Also rabbit food.

    I got 4 boxes of kitten food James Wellbeloved and when it went through the till there was an additional discount of another 30% off so it might be worth trying buying these in sets of 2.

    The whole place in all sections seemed to be either 50% off or 25% off, not real bargains as we know it but if there is something in particular you need it might be worth a visit.

    At the very top end before the tills there were bags of spring bulbs for £1 - just daffs, narcsissi and hyacinths but they might be OK for filling a few pots or tubs
