    Can you sew, a quick running stitch on a sewing machine? Piece of orange/ terracotta coloured material ( charity shop curtain?)sew a running stitch along the material, 4 inches from the top. Thread some pipe insulation with curtain wire threaded in the middle of the pipe laggin into the hem you have just made. Bend around your waist. Let material hang down and make a small hem at bottom, thread curtain wire through and bend in slightly smaller circle to create base of pot.

    Add shoulder straps.

    Ok so much easier to make than it sounds, just sounds like nonsense when I read it back :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. Sorry I'm not a writer, I'm better at making things than explaining things!

    Or make a sandwich board in flower pot shape. Long piece of cardboard with hole cut in middle for head. Put head in and fold down at front and fold down at back??

    Or 2 flower pot cut out card shapes attached to each other by rope from rim to rim. Put rope over shoulders?

    Oh I give in!:rotfl::rotfl: I just can't explain sorry

    Why don't you just stick a flower pot on your head :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Sorry :D

    If we’re not 10% cheaper on your comparable grocery shopping versus Tesco, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s or Waitrose we’ll give you the difference.

    Due to the ASDA Price Guarantee, you're entitled to a voucher of £7.54:

    Why £7.54?

    Comparison total (compared products only) £14.08 £7.27

    Aren't they paying you to take them?:):T* In summary - just ignore me; I've no clue as to when this will work and have lost my glitch mojo at the minute. So shopping has been done - without any Sensations [Strike]reducing the bill[/Strike]:( - I have a feeling I'll be the first to report a failure with whatever I've bought. More about that later:D.

    I used up APGs off the last failed set of failed shops - better than nothing I suppose. Surprisingly my SA didn't say "oo, good vouchers" - instead, she handed me the new receipt at the end, saying "you'll have to check that now to see if it gives anything":rotfl:. I wonder if it will?!?:D:D:rotfl::rotfl::) I think it just might - T's might come out cheaper:D(:eek: - touchwood...).

    Those £1 Country Life butters that are starting to become the next bugbear for me on the APG - I thought as much:(. There they are - on the promotional end of aisle again. Most people's shopping is controlled by where products are sited, not whether they are good purchases.:(:( The Country Life. Buy in T#sco.

    *[Edit]: It looks like they are just free. So, didn't get my free Sensations on my shopping -- this time.
