    I am an idiot! I forgot to scan the bar codes and packaging thrown out :mad: damn Shopitize and their stupid double stage process - how many hoops for 50p?

    So not only did I mess up putting Cheesestrings I with my T shop losing 60p on the apg, I also didn't get the cash back so instead of 40p a pack I paid £1.60ish :mad:

    Ouch!

    Some new deals have just gone on. Not earth shattering though

    Oh, I never knew there was such a thread, off to peruse now :cool:
    Could probably do with something soothing right enough!

    I know ... For a four pack! If I had stuck with my original shop I would have at least got 8 for £1.35 with the apg against 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%. :D 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. :o

    These are not the actions of someone who didn't want to leave :mad:

    Always assuming it was her that chucked it and not one of her family :eek:

    So sorry to hear this scamps, I'm really sad for you and I hope things start to pick up very soon, please let me know if I can do anything to help, I won't be out your way for a while but I'll let you know when I am xx

    Morning peeps. :)

    Been up all night, watching films! I suffer from insomnia so I don't sleep much. I've had probably less than 10 hours sleep in the last week, 2 bottles of wine that a neighbour gave me didn't help either. :(

    Kadison, I look forward to meeting you some day. :)

    Spoke to my wifes niece last night and my wife thought that I had the wedding album, so it must have been the MIL that threw it out. Can I be punished for my thoughts?

    Good morning everybody, I hope you are well and have a lovely Tuesday. That was a very quick catch up. Happy shopping.

    scamps I hope you slept well and you feel ok today, if not keep talking. I hope your foot is ok.
