    Zippy...do you sometimes run round the other way or do you always go the same way.

    I've convinced myself that you've changed direction but then again I'm on the prosecco:)

    Depends who I'm chasing ;)

    Have you not just asked the same question as me saying post your items. I could see that 13 items were bought but something has gone wrong which I suspect would not happen to someone more used to the system
    Thanks - I am pretty used to the system even though I don't post much here. That would be why I was so surprised the PP didn't come out. :)

    Same old same old.
    KP Wheat Crunchies Crispy Bacon - savvy buy in M at £1.00? I saw lots at 50p RTC in A, they were B/B April 2014 (plenty of time), but I didn't buy any - that 50p is still too much!

    I was at our local food bank yesterday. They put in some extra goodies as it was for a family with a little boy.

    Unsure if you are all aware but it's not easy to access food parcels....I know some people think that for some families it is a free for all. It isn't.
    You need to provide DOB, post code, reasons for needing a food parcels and it's not enough just to say"ran out of food". You have to show exceptional circumstances. I wrote 3 paragraphs. You cannot return again unless circumstances have changed.

    The parcel I collected contained rice, pasta, pasta sauce, milk, frozen bread, Smart Price cereal,tuna, tinned veg, sweets,tea bags, tinned meatballs. I added to it a bag of fruit and veg and toiletries:cool:

    Dad cried when I turned up with it:o

    Well done TM :T:T

    Rolls - which ones? I assume two different Haribo? Bag of sweets might not count, depending on which it is. The glue doesn't count. That could be only 9 items or the Maoam may not count?

    Doesn't everything count as an item for a PP though? I didn't think they had exclusions like kiosk items etc like A's?

    I could be totally wrong though :cool: :rotfl:

    Why don't the glue count. The 1p pencils and torch did for me

    Yeah, that's what I thought too :) I've usually had newspapers and other non-food items appear on PP. But as I said, in my case there were 12 normal items so I'm stumped :(
