    Well my second shop tonight... was a muggle shop:( - not enough items:o:o:o. Don't ask me what the 'Special Edition' one on my first shop was - both shops got mixed into the same bags after I've left the store, I noticed some strange one that I shouldn't have bought had gone into one of the bags:( but not a clue as to what went where.

    Oh well (sigh). The failed shop was paid for largely by the wombles and I've had another good run (of not 10%) of wombles from tonight that I wouldn't otherwise have got had I not been shopping - total amount more than what I paid in cash (together with various APG deductions and cashback to confuse the matter!:cool:). In fact I've done so well on the wombles, that I've got more amount than anything I'd ever spend. So thank goodness for my failed shop:rotfl::rotfl:!

    Booger!:(:(:o

    Which leads me to something...if we're paying (some/many of us) with wombles anyway, do we really need items to glitch? Our wombles would pay for the items without any glitches on top. Of course the glitches are nice:D. So the shopping still paid me to do. Just that the shopping could have paid even more:rotfl::money:.

    I got a bit tired tonight - and I think I blame you for not being accurate enough on your product descriptions - I think I got a Spec. Ed Grapefruit (flashed 'New') - not the same one as the Spec Ed on the first shop - rather than a Grapefruit? I'd heard a post to the effect that the whatever fruit it was:o didn't work, but it just said the fruit, it didn't say the Special Edition fruit. It was that that I needed you to drill into me as to what not to get, and you failed! So it was all your fault:p:p:rotfl::rotfl::D.

    It's not very often that I get an incorrect item (ignoring the Hula Hoops a few days ago, as the 24g:( ones did work as intended just not as well as a better version) - last time I got something wrong that really compared to higher elsewhere was about eight months ago!! Oh, excluding the Flipper Dippers that I bought prematurely - they were right, but not on the right day of the correct week and returned at full price.

    I did an Anon. as well tonight:o:o: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.php?p=65086833&postcount=9349.
    Thought I'd go on to a second store, as I originally wanted to get eight different comparing OSs (and no non-OS fillers) but couldn't find enough in my first store!! The second store had just one flavour more (I don't count the Lavender they also had in addition, as that's a no-no). They had the Orange & Ginger. But I had put my shopping list away this time (think I chucked it in the bin:eek: with the used receipts) and I'd seen I'd probably got a wrong flavour already in on of my previous shops so wasn't sure if Orange & Ginger would work. Store was sold out of a lot of other versions - I wonder why? - so it didn't even have 8 different ones - despite being an even bigger store, it had fewer versions than the first one had:(.

    I should have left the store empty-handed after that point. Instead I did an impromptu shop:( and killed off an APG - I had some receipts but left my one behind so you can find it if you like:rotfl::rotfl::p:cool:. Not often I do a shop that kills an APG, usually there isn't much on which they are 10% lower either on an item or on some acceptable alternative elsewhere:rotfl: - they are the most difficult shops to do!

    Now I get back:o, I notice (according to what msm shows) the Orange & Ginger OS would have worked!:o:o:o:(:o:o:rotfl::o Oh well! I've got now enough OS for my liking, so all's well really, even if I lost a bit.

    :eek: Gone twenty past twelve - I'd better go! (Wondering why only a couple of thanks so far - it's because it's so late!!:rotfl:) I notice there's been no comment on my earlier deliberate mistake:D. I omitted to mention which store the SP tinned fruit pieces were shown comparing against - but I've got bored now and just added it on my original post!:rotfl::rotfl: (It was Avs T btw.)

    See you later!:wave::wave:

    Spent most of today trying to get booked on the hukd/David. Flight to abu dhabi.
    Think site was crashing due to volumne, then unable to find flight. Such a shame. Somewhere I would love to go and definately at that price.
    oh well will have to see what flights dd can come up with likely to be sharm el sheikh again. Really fancied Abu dhabi.

    Loving the photo DM but arent the horses you bet on usually the 3 legged type.:eek:

    Savvy the orange and ginger does not work. Although it shows on the 2 for 1 deal at tosco on msm it also shows as not available in sada (despite it clearly being available).

    I am most likely to be booking a totally un MSE...5 day? ....trip to jumeirah beach in August with DD and possibly Ds2 if he'll have it. there's some good (but still expensive deals) she's 15 and has missed out on years of holidays and really wants to go.......so I might just go for it. I've been cheeky and mailed them and asked if they'll extend the offer they just had on for a night in the burj al Arab, if you book :D you can only ask?
    They have already said they have unlimited access to the water park :T:T:T

    ......now I just have to sort out DS2 trip to Hollywood :o

    Bless them, they haven't had a decent holiday for nearly 6 years, I'm trying to sort it out before they leave home! :(

    Sure you will have a blast in Dubai. I fancied this deal as £125 pp plus room and found a really nice hotel was very reasonable. Just could not work out the flight checking on my tablet. Should have popped over to check mums house and borrowed her lappy and ipad she has left out for me but was meant to be having a no spend day. 3 nsd on the trot and made £25 on fb selling page.
    Offer is meant to be open until 7th april so might find a flight yet. If not dd can get me a crew seat and I will go back to the hotel I know in sharm.
    Was trying to be more adventurous.
