everyone loves it (in) the Elite

I'm sitting here feeling rather sorry for myself as I have severe vertigo (dizziness) which isn't being helped by the meds my GP has given me. What's making me feel worse is that I am self employed so if I don't work I don't get any money. It's also impossible for me to drive at the moment, and even travelling by bus makes my head spin ten times worse - which makes shopping difficult as nearest Tosca is 3 miles away and nearest Sada 7+ miles.

Fortunately, things are manageable at the moment as dh is able to do some work (he has a chronic heart condition) and we do have some savings for emergencies such as these but obviously I want to minimise dipping into savings so I'd be very grateful for some advice from the Elite.

I've only been on the Elite board a few weeks but I've already managed some successful shops for burgers, bni curries, JF shampoo, pork chops, biscuits and Easter eggs thanks to all the wonderful Elite posters. :beer: Obviously, these have saved me a significant amount of money and I have some stashed away for the (now) rainy day, which is very fortuitous indeed given my current dizziness (think all the horrible effects of drinking too much without any of the more pleasant ones)! However, man cannot live on burgers, curries, Easter eggs and shampoo alone!

I remember reading some posts a while back now about how some members of the Elite can do all their grocery shopping for around £50 per month. At the time I thought I would gradually pick up how to do this myself but time is of the essence now so I wondered if anyone can give me some more specific advice and/or information re how to do this.

I would also be grateful if you could tell me the best way to do a Sada home delivery as I might have to rely on having shopping delivered until my head stops spinning! :dance: I have used Tosca home delivery a couple of times but never Sada. For example, would I get an APG if I bought special pork chops and the correct Muller yoghurts for home delivery?

Also check out the old style forum on here some of them are wonders at producing menu plans from next to nothing some are fairly old so prices won't be accurate but again could give you some idea's

I've came across this emerging technology a while ago, and have been following its development. Basically, it's a program/app/method (not yet on sale) for speed-reading
http://www.spritzinc.com/
Normal reading speed is 250-ish words per minute; with this it seems easy to increase this to 600wpm.
Try it out, 'click above to learn how to spritz', and increase the wpm speed bit by bit.
I found it fascinating!

Very interesting, but not sure that the drop in blink rate is a good side effect to have!

Afternoon all.
Hope everyone is ok.

Happy birthday QOC:bdaycake: hope you've had a lovely day xx


Tis a bit of a pants week so far
My mum was knocked off her bike on Monday by some complete knobhead who never bothered stopping. She and another cyclist were both sent flying. No serious injuries thank god but she's bruised all down one side.
This morning my husband had a range rover crash into his car. He's unscathed but the car wasn't so lucky.
I'm thinking I'm gonna wrap me and lil stink up in bubble wrap for the rest of the week.

Oh no, how terrible, what a week for you.

So, after all the fun I had in As this morning I went back again just before 3pm to see if there was anything else to be had.

And...

I think I have found an absolute scorcher!!:beer::beer:

Conditions were right when I did the shop an hour ago and are still perfect now..;)

I'm going to do an FQ and keep it quiet for the moment, but lets just say if it works we can buy as many as we want, no trigger required and hardly any fillers.

Oh, I forgot to say, this will potentially mean that we all actually make a profit too!:D:D

Come back just before 6pm either to have a laugh at my expense when I post the results or grab your car keys to fill your boots!!:p:p

Im ready and waiting. tick tock.
