We had a lovely afternoon. I got home earlier than expected and we went on a tandem scan and shop in Ts. ......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 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 :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.

Oh Happy Easter!!:j:j:EasterBun:easter_os
What's not to be understood?:)

It's the small travel size ones, instore they are in 4 for £3 offer. They really are tiny - possibly even the actual size shown on this screen (depending on how small your screen is and how you have it set etc.;)). For me the tininess is a virtue, as not taking up much storage space so appeases those at home and can buy and buy again:j:j.

Three of these:
3 x Nivea Pearl & Beauty Anti-Perspirant Deodorant Spr... £6.60 £2.70

Nivea Pearl & Beauty Anti-Perspirant Deodorant Spray (35ml)
£2.20 any 4 FOR £3.00(£6.29/£2.14/100ml)

And to make those work:
1 x Nivea for Women Invisible Black & White 48h Anti-P... £1.20 £0.90

Nivea for Women Invisible Black & White 48h Anti-Perspirant Deodorant Clear (35ml)
£1.20 any 3 FOR £3.00(£3.43/£2.86/100ml)
In fact in 4 for £3 offer instore.

Or, instead of the for Women Invisible Black & White, I think you can go for the 3 Pearl Beauty plus the Johnson's Baby Powder 100g for the same result.

Sorry if not clear - it's instore pricing that is not quite in tandem with online info. It's getting late on as well now, so I'm sorry to pop in and leave. See you later! x:):wave:

I wasn't going to tell this story because it's been making me sweat with embarrassment all day but I will thanks to Mr Ts prosecco and hopefully it being late enough to not offend anyone!

My embarrassing story from today......

We have a little windy road here that is effectively a shortcut for me to get from here to Ts and As. Single track with some passing places. The passing places are big enough for one car mostly and invariably cars drive right behind each other and cause chaos on it. I don't.....I always leave one passing place between cars :A

On the way home from Ts today I had just about made the whole windy road without seeing another car (always a triumph). At the last passing place there was another car, with another one right behind it. I looked in my mirror and lo and behold I had a Picasso parked up my exhaust gridlock. My car is a big 7 seater so there we all were 4 cars....stuck!

All the usual grumpy faces took place and people nudging their cars 2 inches hoping it'll make a difference (it didn't) Picasso man behind me started beeping his horn and making rude hand gestures. I could do nothing.....without damaging my car. He was very obnoxious :mad:.....eventually Picasso man realised he had no choice but to reverse back to the previous passing place (where he should have stopped in the blinking first place :mad:)

By this time I was incensed at his rudeness and got out my car to tell him what a plonker he was. I really was :mad::mad:. I walked up to his car and said the exact following words

'why on earth did you come right up my a**e' :o

I think I realised before the sentence was finished what I'd said and he did as well.......we both burst out laughing :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I hope I haven't offended anyone I usually choose my words more carefully

Ive taken to buying single dog food tins as fillers. I just get a few different varieties and flavours. My kids don't eat the sweets. I know that's no good to anyone who hasn't got a dog but might be an idea for someone

I tend to get either the 5 for £2 jellies (or jelly pouches) or the ambrosia 5 for £2 as can combine rice and custard pots. All these fillers long life and eaten by dgc.
Ok might be spending a few pennies more but sweetie fillers had to be given away whereas I can use these when dgc visit.
Think I might have enough to last until end of the year though.
Bourbon biscuits are a good cheap filler for food bank. I hate custard creams so could not bring myself to buy to give away.

Situation next door is no one is in cot. Dgs is having to share single bed with daddy. I think after this weeks visitors I can finally get rid of cot and buy a double bed which all 3 of them will fit in.
Yes, I know I could have given up my room for them but it just wasnt going to happen:rotfl:

Such a shame I could not get cheap bike today as dgs would have loved it. Hoping ds1 will put my new wendy house up tomorrow which will help hide more easter eggs.:T

Oh he is funny and I find it's better to laugh. You can laugh at the funny times or get caught up in the things that aren't funny. We prefer very much the former! Life isn't always kind to him but he never lets it stop him.
We live life very matter of factly, it makes it easier. We haven't always done, we had some tough times when he was younger. I wouldn't change a single thing about him though

:think:
Slightly quieter voice when he gets a ten pounder

I'm sorry if this has already been mentioned but for an avs shop I bought 3 different flavoured Hartley's jellies, the sort you make up yourself. They're 54p but compare at 3 for £1 in s. Not a glitch but useful fillers if you need some. Sorry I still can't upload my receipt/list

:T:T:T

I know - and wish I'd remembered that when I was in store!:rotfl::rotfl:
