    OOoooo tweets has had a large one in her hand:rotfl:


    Talking about thieves what about the two cheeky bu££ers calmly dismantling the double glazed window at the side of the house where we had the integral garage made into a bedroom years ago. Good job one of my sons was sleeping in there and he heard scraping etc and when he got up to look they ran off .

    My other son who came for some dinner today and who also works in Tesco was saying they aren t allowed to buy any of these 1p items even if he wanted to. They have to find them and take them off the shop floor. All must be doing a good job too :mad:

    I am spitting feathers! My receipt is golden so they will go back. Glad I didn't get more. I checked though first. So as victor meldrew says
    " I don't believe it" !
    I bought the Felix cat food too , 2 for £6 tesco and nearly £9 in asdA
    So my APG is totally wrong and lost out on the cat food as saw razors in asda as cheaper £27 to tescos £32.97.
    I hardly ever go to asda as it is out of my way.
    Grrrrrrr
    I got things that i don't think will compare apart from 1 S&G deodorant. what's a golden receipt?
    Have you got your black armband on too cheer1eader
    not yet hun ... it won't let me submit it yet so there is hope yet i guess lol

    that's me!!! and I only need one,lol.....but seriously, only eight on the top table so how many would I need ??


    if its just for the toast then you get 6-8 decent flutes from one bottle...perhaps it will go a little further if not full glasses but if the top table are planning on drinking it through the meal I would allow half a bottle per person..


    maybe 4...possibly 5...thing is if youve got a couple of drinkers on the table and they know they have the good stuff then they will drink it till its gone

    My Givaudan perfume was the J'adore De Doir and it smells like flowers. Will make a perfect air freshener. Mom doesn't like it, it's too strong for her. Such fun.

    I'm sure someone pointed this out the other day but at Boots stores that have Clarins stands they are giving out 5ml samples of all their products to people who want to try before they buy. I went today and came away with 8 little samples, all different. Perfect to take when visiting friends or going on holiday etc. Have a look at your locals if you have any that have this stand.

    And finally, apparently Boots points are being deleted from advantage cards if they have been sat for 2 years. So start using them up. Someone mentioned it on one of the forums and I thought I would share with you guys in case someone was trying to stock up big time.

    Just back from taking mum 1p hunting, got off to a great start with a massive table full of things I recognised :) but all had yellow stickers on them :( Managed to find some pentel sets and thorntons toffees though :D

    I got my perfume as well and it smells lovely but I've no idea what it is. It says ELO, how do I tell what it is please?

    Yes, it happened to me last year. They helped themselves to a trampoline frame that was clearly not intended to be taken by them. It was outside my garage, nowhere near the end of the drive/gate. Robbing Chancers :mad: :mad: it still makes me mad

    We have garages behind us with a large tarmac area and that has a rainwater drain on it. It used to have one of those heavy weight iron slotted drain covers on it until it disappeared a couple of years ago :eek: They left this gaping hole in the middle of the area used by a the cars from 11 houses :eek: Fortunately I saw it before anyone went down it and stuck a couple of canes in it so people would avoid it. We now have a wood reinforced aluminium cover (courtesy of someone who used to work at the airport :D) with three holes drilled in it.

    Strangely enough there was some "travellers" around at the time. And if they are "travellers" why do they always go on about wanting fixed sites?

    No idea what ELO is no one else has had that one..possibly a 70's pop group


    could it be ELA...ELA = Eau de Lacoste

    failing that...email Givaudan and they will respond with what it is...others have done that and got replies very quickly
