    Fab results, wish I had gone back out to get a shop in as I am on my last bottle. X

    I wish I hadn't:(. Oh, the irony of me mentioning all day about the muggles who don't get enough items. I wasn't going to go much for this, as 62p for a litre of squash really is still too expensive for me and we don't use them that much (not even before February next year:eek:). I thought, with other items I was getting though, it was okay - though, to be fair, I was scraping the barrel too much, going down to 10p items more than I already wanted. Blame the supermarket for not having any Haribo Starmix:eek:. What kind of a store...? etc. Last time I had an edgy shop, it was the S/P Sparkling Water that they had run out of. That only just scraped through, that shop, but that was the same store too and also a shop against Sainsbury's. I shouldn't shop at the store against Sainsbobs in future - and try saying that after you've had a few:rotfl:.

    Fortunately I only bought 2 bottles of Robinsons - but I've lost about £1.64 on the shop:eek:. Ah well - the funding for it will just come from somewhere else, as usual. I shall refrain from buying more Robinsons and giving them more money and, with it being a NSD tomorrow, it least that means I won't be giving them any money tomorrow:rotfl:.

    Oh I bet, I always buy over 10 items in my shops just in case, even that 2p ginger that I don't use could make a difference.
    Hopefully it will still be a goer on Monday for us all x
    We're just happy to have a home, a family and our health. Whatever else is just added and it fits. :)

    You're not as annoyed as me. I bought a single bottle because we'd nearly run out :o :rotfl:

    If the Robinsons glitch finishes by Monday, there's the Chosen by you, double strength NAS @ 3 for £4 but compares mistakenly I think, to T @ 95p

    Apple and black currant in the 1.5L is the only one that works

    Thank you :) DS2 was getting a bit twitchy. He does if anything looks like it might run out.
    We've already had a magnum interrogation this evening. Someone dared to eat all the white ones and left him with a single classic one.....and on top of that there's only magnum infinities in the freezer which he doesn't like :o not only does he not like them, but it seems to upset him that they are there and ones he likes aren't. A whole 30 minutes of ........magnums :rotfl::rotfl:

    Had to take the dog for a walk, come back to catch up and see that it's still not quite clear, can we get savvy or aau to input on the deo glitch please.

    Fillers :- I once coined the phrase, "if in doubt call the COPS" - Carrot, Onion, Potato, Stock cubes (make some soup), recently I've been getting 2 x red grapes, 2 x green grapes, small piece of carrot (that happens to be "accidentally broken", same for parsnip, onion, red onion, small piece of ginger, banana, ibuprofen.

    All these and some cat food are good for me, two hungry cats and a dog that eats anything = sorted.

    :D
    I do try to keep up but sometimes life gets in the way.
    I'm just a penny short of a pound. Peace and Love.

    I've joined the 5:2 club cos mrT made me eat 1p chocolate.

    We had a lovely afternoon. I got home earlier than expected and we went on a tandem scan and shop in Ts. :D......I am trying to teach him about money and stuff like that. Life skills.
    So off we went. He had HIS wallet, with HIS clubcard for the scanner and cash to pay for the shop :D It all went fine except for him proclaiming loudly in the pet food aisle that the cat bowls had come off....all £9.98 of them :eek: We got to the checkout and thankfully he didn't get a check. He did however shout 'Yesssssssss a ten pounder' when the PP came out :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    2 shops, 2 £10 PPs and we both left very happy. If he had a chest of any proportions it would have been well puffed out :D:rotfl:
