    I still haven't seen anyone else report that they've found warhorse on blu ray, either on here or hudk

    There was just too much to take in at my local on Friday, I would not have noticed I don't think, didn't realise was a Spielberg and don't think the cover would have caught my eye. :o

    I would be here all day if I tried to type a list of everything I got on Friday. :eek:
  • I am going to the one near the hospital tomorrow, only because I thought I would go to m&s for the ss that I think are at cp and I am taking my sister as she lives over that way, although I am not expecting to find anything. Although today I thought I had left it too late to pop in.

    Comparison total (compared products only) £33.46 £16.11

    N x

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    So, instead of the 1kg Flora for £2 in A (advertised as 'better off at A' on TV - I think 'buy in T' therefore for £1 onto the PP vs A!), you got two of the smaller packs that work out more expensive and, therefore, cheaper, when compared to T, than the 1kg one:T.

    Yes I did notice all the toasters/kettles, no I didn't find any electricals, but weren't really looking for them.
    There were some more Miranda, I would have picked you up one if I'd known. She was doing them upstairs then got fed up as it got quite crowded, so she took them all downstairs. I must have just missed you.

    I didn't look upstairs at the DVDs today, I noticed staff were buying cheap cameras though even though none on display. :(

    Hi guys.

    Managed to get a coolpix S9100 from Bristol Tesco Extra (next to Ikea). The staff had horded a load of cameras behind the electrical desk and I played dumb asking if they were same as the ones on the shop floor, after a bit of 'dumb play'i got to look through them all and decide on which one was best value.

    Paid £40 for it, they go for approx £70to £80 on ebay.


    But if it helps anyone else there were approx 20 different cameras sat behind the electrical desk there.

    Ranging from a coolpix s6200, 2 GE X400 (wasnt good value), 5 DMC-F5 and another similar type.

    After checking ebay prices for most of them if you took them for pure profit you would maybe purchase for £30 and sell for £45-50.. meaning a profit between £5-10. I only wanted one for myself so left the rest.

    Happy hunting... now if only I managed to get a cheap laptop for my son to bash instead of mine lol.

    Bitterly cold night last night so we made a cosy bed for the neighbour's cat that is out 24/7 & so is the neighbour :mad:
    I can't bear to know she is out there in this cold weather so ...

    Trouble is now that we have made this bed she hasn't left it

    To me she is Bindi

    Aww that is so lovely snap. She loves that you can soooo tell.
    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up & never give up.

    Just back from my local T's, got a few bargains not sure if all have been posted so apologies for repeats

    Babyliss Wave Envy Model 2337U b/c 3371 £5 (showing £50 rtc £20 on SEL)

    Black Bic 4pk b/c 1152 5p
    Technika USB cable b/c 4141 50p
    Scooby Doo DVD £1
    JVC Sport Violet b/c1804 £1 (RTC showing £5)
    Freezeboard Icepacks 5p

    Cameras showing different prices but tols by SA that JVC camcorder currently red to £80 is going down to £20 may help someone :D

    fdy6wk.jpg

    Amazing that some people pay £5 for own brands USBs (and that's when they are on 'half price'). 50p though - ooh, that's a good price!!:):):j:T

    (Not as good as 50p with cashback of £1 back plus refund of twice as much compared to somewhere else, together with a glitchy price comp. paying even more back, but good nonetheless.) (As this option appears not to be available, on this occasion, I'd settle, in the circumstances, for paying the 50p price.)
