Yeah I think Sainsbobs is often better around here for coupons anyway, much better customer service than the others for the most part. I'm going to have to print off some more thins coupons :rotfl:But actually I don't know if we can eat 3 packs before they'll go off!

Why not freeze them?

Or if you don't have the freezer space (puts hand up), why not use the Sainsbobs Method to get free food for oneself, and donate the Warburtons Thins to a food bank or similar? That is the plan I am currently implementing.

Yep, I'm in the full freezer club

Hm, but the food bank idea does sound good... Going to go and google my nearest food bank!

If all the monkeys ever born were sat in front of all the typewriters ever made, in a million-gazillion years they would never come up with that sentence:)

I might need to have a t-shirt made with that on the front:rotfl:

I nuked it. Forgot to set a timer :rotfl:

Hmm... My local food bank has a very specific "shopping list" of the things they want (in some cases with weight - e.g. "Sugar (500g)"). Do you think they'd refuse my thins?

So sorry to hear that, FloFlo. :sad:
I just cannot imagine not being close to my sister and watching her kids growing up. Her eldest has moved away from home, to the same city where I used to live, and so we are all planning a visit next month, when I can show him all my old haunts. My sister used to visit me when I lived there too - she was then about the same age as her eldest is now.
(Sorry, just read that back and realised that sounded a bit selfish and 'happy family' boastful - didn't mean to.)

Not all, I am a bit closer to my oldest brother and much closer to his kids. DH is very close with all his lot but the brother I hardly see has a wife who is incredibly difficult to get a long with, she rows with everyone in her life, neighbours the lot. I had a turbulent childhood and will not live like that again so by my choice I rarely see them.

I suppose you don't miss what you have never had, whilst I can see that it must be nice to have very close siblings in my case I am used to how it is for me so not that upset about it.
