    Chester T's used to be good for bargains. not been for years though!

    Mine used to be good until they changed the manager. How do you put in a complaint about a manager who is too efficient? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I used to get regular DTDs, if I wanted something on offer I just used to nip along the following morning but the only thing I got before the Christmas batch was a couple of big boxes of washing powder. Nice though, won't have to buy any of that for a long time :D

    Finally back home without buying any clothes for myself :o
    The local O2 phone mast has gone tits up so when I went back out I had no phone signal.
    I spent the best part of an hour trying to work out how to meet my other half after the match had finished and trying to find a payphone so I could ring home and check DS was OK (poor lad was worried sick as he hasn't been able to ring me)
    60p minimum charge in a phone box now! :eek:
    So much for my lovely shopping day today :( I spose it ended up very MSE as we've spent a grand total of only £25 today on everything :D
    Will have to do my clothes shopping when I met up with Tiger :j

    Evening all

    Just seen interesting post on 10 wys regarding 1p items.

    Calmspirit thank you:A
    Will really help me reach conditional spends now.

    Has anyone ever returned nappies to mr t for a refund?
    I would prefer to use bank statement showing spend rather than receipt.
    I know they change sizes for you with no problem just wondered about refund.

    Really going to struggle to get my 3 x £50 shops done this month for the cc points. Have told mum I have to order all her shopping from mr t this month rather than her going sainsbobs. Risky adding finest burgers to a delivery but I suppose I could refuse them if have proved not working by the time delivery arrives. Would like to get a revolving £10 pp if possible as would really help.

    My mojo is fine just getting back in the swing of shopping has been hard since I got home. Have had a week living on m7s meals though which has been nice but back to reality now.

    . I do think a chaise lounge is a good description of you though. Stylish yet comfortable and laid back :)

    May the odds be ever in your favour;)
