Everything Leads Into The (new year) Elite thread

Picasso7

We had freak weather in Manchester too. A580 had loads of surface water.

In case it helps anyone, Pr3stwich Tesco had no reduced bits to speak of and Wa1kden only had some. A few bits in the aisle but a fair number of goodies in a large bin towards the back of the store in the aisle you walk along into the store, if that makes sense. Got some of those pink/green/mauve office bits for 10p (yellow sticker, the ones on the shelves are not reduced), small clear pencil cases for 1p (left the 3p ones!), Hello Kitty paper plates 8p, dotty notelets and envelopes 5p, and some pink cupcake party loot bags for 10p.

Does anyone know if the Sa1ford store is worth a visit?

Hope this helps someone.

A fillers list is a good idea - ideally we could do with lots of little 20p or less things - ideally things we need anyway or things useful to send to food banks.

I always get value water which is 17p - still and sparkling - but 18p in Morrisons.

I also get value garlic bread which is 34p or 35p - useful freezer filler.

Thanks. When we get the new thread, I'll amalgamate our posts and hopefully others can help too.

As a new thread is imminent I won't ramble on too much - we are having yet another really bad day but I will tell all later - still in the midst of cleaning up the aftermath after yesterday's big clear out and clean up.

We were coming back from town, been to see the Holly Holly day parade and it was starting to spit. Then the heavens opened and torrential rain started followed by a full blown thunder and lightning storm - it was only 2 o'clock and it was as black as it is at 5 at night. then we had a hail storm that was a white out and when we parked up and got out of the car the path was covered in white micro beads which made it very slippy.

Was this local to us in Cheshire or did anyone else have this freak weather!

No, we just had the same, less the thunder and lightening but equally dark and noisy :eek:

I bought some of the 10p sweets, but for the first time bought the 12 for £1, it reduced the cost in the comparison.

I always get a banana, loose apples, mushrooms, sp noodles and sp chopped tomatoes

Emma, DH has the samsung and although it takes good photos he always struggles to get them from the phone onto the pc. His contract is up in March and he's changing to an iPhone 4S - some good deals on these since the 5 came out.

Thanks hornetgirl. I've got an iPhone 4 at the mo and what I normally do is upload to photobucket using the app. Then you can log in on a Pc, iPad, anything and access the photos

I'm near Nottingham and we had it about 2.30, the rain was horizontal for a few minutes and really heavy hail.

Ok - thanks for that. I did the c & c yesterday morning but was unsure whether I would get the apg's as on the paperwork it had the price of £3 for the ariels

Is anybody up for starting new thread? Somebody said Stinky or Squigs and I am in total agreement
