    MOrning everyone :D

    My MSL today is showing as having 1184 items for cashback but before anyone gets over excited its only for 5% and its only until the 31st.
    you could in theory cobble together a normal looking shopping list as it has vegetables, yogurt, meat, some value items etc. and if you have conditional spends or discount codes for online shops it all helps.
    I did try to make a list of the brand names but there are literally dozens - food, drink, toiletries and cleaning items etc.
    There could also be some items suitable for adding to comparisons shops and a few things that have MOCS eg McCain wedges and I also found a yogurt Ive got a Tesco mailing MOC for.
    also a few basic items that might be suitable as fillers and/or to add to food bank collections eg Sainsburys basic pasta for 30p.
    I suppose there is some entertainment value in tidying carparks and trolley bays - a good chance you might find some item on a long receipt suitable for uploading
    But as desperate as I am for increasing the balance in my PayPal account I don't think this list is going to improve it very much :rotfl:

    Morning.

    My friends triplets came home yesterday :j They were 9 weeks early, all girls weighing in under 3lb. But are now up to 6lb and doing well. They were so adorable. I had a little cuddle of Elizabeth - i think i forgot how to hold babies :eek:

    I took her a bag full of M&S food, a sauasge casserole i quickly hizzed up and some free W milk he he.

    That reminds me, its the A baby event on, I got a PP from T yesterday on the Cow and Gate milk aged 1-2 years only. £7.49 in T but £5 in A. I've never seen it on a promo before. It won't be on milk for under 1's.
    Tiger :cool:
    I'm a body double for Claudia Schiffer and i wont get out of bed for less than [STRIKE]£10k per day[/STRIKE] a 1p find

    MKS I hope as time goes by you might not feel so sad:A although I think the feelings you have never really go away you just learn to accept them and they come to the surface at times like Birthdays and Anniversaries:AYou have done so well thanking everyone individually rather than a communal post:Tsending you another Nannylala hug I always say you can never get too many hugs;)

    Thanks, Nanny. I'm looking at the birthday card that he should have been opening today.:(

    You are quite right about the hugs.:T
