Good morning:hello:
Hope everyone is well...

We're just back from bargain hunting in mr t... Inspired by all the great pics posted over the weekend:T

This is my little collection:)

Party loot bags were 10p
Horrid Henry book box set £2.50 (4books)
Jacqueline Wilson book box set £2.50 (3 books)
Sense and spray cinnamon and apple refil £1.65
Cadbury wishes 37p

Also stocked up on tissues using my last 4 mocs that run out today
Thanks for the reminder ... I think it was classy chick:T:)

Big hi to all, birthday wishes and hugs where due.

Thanks to OP re. the tissues, I managed to get 8 boxes this morning.

If anyone buys the party bags in the picture, buy them in sets of 5 as they on a multi-buy offer of buy 5 and get one free. I got another 10p off mine

Wishing you all a good rest of the day xx

Also following on from the debacle with sausages yesterday which seemed to be 75% fat I tried to find their twitter feed or facebook page this morning but the company did not seem to have any.

if I have praise or a problem with a product I like to send them a photo first.

anyway I found their website, gave them all the details, barcode, use by date, store I'd bought them at etc and I got a reply almost straight away, a few more details and they are sending me some compensation - not sure what that is.

But I expect Tesco will now send me mailing coupons for these sausages for the next 3 years :mad:

The fat my OH poured off the grill pan filled half a bean can and set solid this morning - wish he'd poured into a Pyrex jug and then I could have measured it. I scrapped it out onto the bird table - very gross.

Think I will stick with the supermarket own brand high meat content sausages in future

That was when I found it fuzz, I'm just using my last one now BBE Dec 13.:rotfl:
It's really nice so thought I'd see if it still compares well.

I found some Walkers prawn cocktail crisps at the back of the cupboard dated November 2013 :T only 2 months old and they were lovely, I don't even like prawn cocktail but it is a well known fact that the calories in out of date crisps do not count in your daily allowance

we pour the fat into empty cans then add a few handfuls of bird feed open opposite end of can and use the lid to push the fat through into a bird feeder , the birds love it and cheaper than buying proper ones

Very well done indeed!


You gonna change your name to shortnotsofatscottishbloke?!

That is certainly an option I could use, especially in the short term as the weight is still coming off.;)

In the long term however, when I have reached my goal, I think perhaps I might like to be known as Moobfreejock.:D

Holiday in 18 weeks so not long to get my backside back into my budgies to impress the chicks on the beach!!:rotfl:
