Just received an email from Augenteil panels to say i have been accepted on a hand dishwashing trial so keep your eyes open peeps that registered with this trial.

Thank you - this prompted me to do a search and these emails have been going into my spam folder :eek: Not missed anything though, but I do have a softener trial coming at the end of the month. I have softener coming out of my ears :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Great, isn't it? I inherited it years ago from a Jewish friend (sounds like a Yiddish word to me), she used to use it all the time.:)

Yes, its Yiddish - originally from the German - Shlepn. To carry or drag something heavy or awkward:)

Legibility also depends on the letter-shapes and the typeface used. For example, you find it easier to read the top half of a line of type, but not the bottom. It's the same with the right-hand part of each letter (easier to 'read') and the left side. It's to do with how the eye moves across the page when you're reading. You don't read straight from left to right, even if you think you do! Your eyes jump forwards-forwards-back a bit-forwards-back-forwards-forwards etc etc

I searched on the bookshelves for a book which I knew I had somewhere, about 'How We Read', for anyone that's interested in a bit more detail (if not, don't read it:))


The eye of the experienced reader moves in a series of jumps ('saccades') and stops ('fixations'). The fixations fluctuate between 0.2 and 0.4 seconds. A line is absorbed in several saccades. In a long saccadic movement the eye will move back left to the beginning of the next line. Information will be picked up visually only in a fixation, when, in normal reading, the eye will pick up 5-10 letters, or one or two words. At the most 10 letters, but often only 3 or 4, can be accurately perceived between fixations. If the meaning of the text is not clear, the eye goes back in 'regression-saccades' and confirms what it has already 'read'. The more experienced the reader, the shorter are the fixations and the longer the saccades.



If the upper half of a line of type is obscured, the lower half is virtually unreadable, but if the lower half is obscured, the line can still be read.



Showing how much of each letter of the alphabet can be eliminated without seriously affecting legibility.

Mbuys on the comp. (on the comparables vs M) are in bold. Just because they happened to buy the M mbuy on the Capri Sun and the Walkers crisps (obviously now 2 for £3 according to APG). They bought the NikNaks too late (or too early):(.

The Evaporated Milk, as you all know, should be Avs T shouldn't it?

Sorry patty, got side tracked by bespoke :rotfl:



I bought 7 yogs, paid £3.70 (7x68p less £1.06 multibuy saving)

Compares at £4.76 v £3.65 - adds £1.47½ to APG - so £2.22½ for 7 yogs (32p each).

Spaghetti £2 clicksnap.

Porridge works out at 58½p

Oh my goodness Chris...that porridge is a cracker:T:T:T:T

Evening peeps.

Been one of those days again!! Went to sada this afternoon and managed to get some woopsies, got the reducing lad to reduce them a little more no harm in asking, so I got everything at 10%. Just cooking some lamb neck fillet, paid 93p for 2 bits!!
When I got home I was knackered as it was a 5 mile walk there and back and without my boot it took me 3 hrs!! I'm now aching all over!!
I had to take some rubbish to the bin but I wish i hadn't, 'cos when I opened the bin I saw that my wife had chucked a load of stuff in there before clearing off. So I decided to see what she'd thrown away, then I saw it.... the photo album of our wedding! I'm now looking at it and keep wondering how and where it all went wrong, I'm in bits! She wont answer the phone or return texts and I don't know where she's living. I'm feeling really down right now.

Sorry.
