    You can use the pizza vouchers, but as you are already getting the capped limit for BM, it is a bit of a waste.

    The Tu range of clothing has got a sale on at the moment, so you might find something you like, or you might find something that you have to take back, as it doesn't fit.:D

    I love the way your brain works :T:T:T:T:T

    But I have no idea what the fish fingers and the ww cereals are, would you be so kind as to let me know x

    I am off work today, and indent not working but shopping! and sleeping!! But definitely no cleaning!!!!

    :D:D:D:D:D:D

    Fish fingers are not as exciting as they sound

    Birds Eye 8 crispy batter fish fingers £1 asda and Tosco
    - no glitch I just like fish fingers and they make a good filler item :) barcode ends 2464

    weigh watchers cereal £2.28 in sada - 2 versions, use the £1 print off MOC and it matches the £1.50 Tosco price plus it gives a nice APG.

    These 3 I did last Sunday but prices seem tob e the same today.

    little fillers to make the shopping look normal :D

    I've been well and truly spoilt in work today!

    I got to work and my desk was in the process of being "decorated"

    The entire department came and sang happy birthday to me

    I was given garden centre vouchers, body shop and Lush stuff from the team, and then from my little office I was given more Lush stuff and a Pandora charm :D

    And to top it off, I am being taken to the pub for lunch :beer:

    And its not even my birthday. Yet :cool:

    It is lovely when you realise just how loved you are at work xx

    Happy Birthday QOC (for whenever it is!)

    :T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T

    Obligatory now with so many poo shops being done :)

    Is anyone else exasperated by their OH as much as I am?
    Its about a month off now until the holiday and OH has been thinking about his packing.
    1stly he insisted that he had no new shirts. I know different and I pull out of his wardrobe a dozen brand new shirts, still in their cellophane, and dump them on the bed. I have won this argument fair and square. The new shirts he has now shoved back in the wardrobe.
    2ndly he says he now has no new jeans. I am not so certain of this so while I had youngest son home ( he is over 6 tall) I get him to take all the folded jeans off the very top shelf which is normally out of my reach. We extract any that belong to OH into one pile and then all of my jeans, both top shelf and almost all of the others get refolded and put on the very top shelf so now OHs wardrobe is much tidier and the jeans rail is almost empty (sadly my body has gone the wrong shape but I am very much still attached to my beloved flowery jeans and I can’t part with them so they will reside on the very top shelf now)
    So now we have on the floor a pile of OHs jeans for him to go through to either hang up on the newly empty rail, to go to be washed or to go onto the Oxfam pile. The pile on the floor goes onto the bed and he then slings it in an untidy heap onto the dresser on the end of the bed. How does OH deal with going through his jean pile other then moving it around the bedroom? He picks up one pair and tried it on and it fits so he wears it. The rest are still on the floor or wherever and he has no intention of moving them. He will now wear this pair of jeans for maybe a week and it will then go into the wash pile. Next week he intends doing the same with another pair from the pile. This will go on now for months on end.
    In the meantime I will do a jeans wash and any newly clean jeans will go back on the floor or back in a heap on the dresser on the end of the bed. None will ever end up on the newly empty rail in the wardrobe.
    I should just ignore the entire thing, the problem actually belongs to him, not me.
    I could shove them all in a black bag back in the wardrobe so I don’t have to look at his jeans pile. But then 2 days before we go away he will be wandering around the house lamenting the lack of jeans again having forgotten that we tried to help him sort himself out.
    Or he will insist at the 11th hour on going out to buy new jeans, the most incredibly dull shopping trip ever. He wont go on his own to do jeans shopping as that would involve making a decision although that is the least effort solution.
    Mind you I might have an appointment in Chester next week so I might force him to come with me and he can go to Primark on his own while I am at the meeting and he try jeans on until he finds something that fits but he will probably pester me with texts and photos or various identical pairs of jeans.
    I don’t think there is a good enough answer to this problem.

    Quick query about the £20 for Bobs BM - even though clothing etc is excluded in the BM, does it still count towards the £20 total?

    I have never BM in S... could you give me an idiots guide please

    (no nasty comments from Nerfy!)

    Thanks

    spend £20.

    include at least one branded item eg 2 bottles of smurfff but the rest can be Sainsburys brand or some badly fitting clothes.

    You can use conditional spends or extra points vouchers.

    You can use a self scan machine for quickness but the SSS will have to be called to manually put a large BM through.
    Make sure the catalina machine is working and does not have the nasty red flashing light when the paper roll runs out.

    Collect your till spit, receipt and goods

    your BM voucher has a 2 week expiry so start planning your next shop.
