    Hahaha, now you guys know what I have to deal with at work everyday!

    I must admit the designer sports gear does get on my tits. The clients wear items I can't afford! It's all Adidas Originals this and Reebok something or the other that. Anyway, with all the benefit caps coming in, they will have to start wearing basics or Primark clothes soon.

    Hope everyone has had a good day. It's been chucking it down up North. Back to work tomorrow and I am dreading it.

    Like us mortgage payers :)

    How big is your dog :eek:

    oops notice the spelling... big!

    She is a lab... very fit and healthy (according to the VET).

    We used to just give her meat and bones, but needed to get her to eat something else just in case hence the dry food.

    She is 9 on the 1st May, and has just come out of puppy stage, thank god!!!!

    :D:D:D:D

    Is Regular Coke (1.75L unhappiness:() still a trigger? I've just had a failure on a receipt that looks like it has 8 different items - suspect it's this one (they bought three the same). Possibly, if you're quick, one of this (presumably the Regular) plus two other but appearing and comparing Cokes vs T at 2 for £2.00 (expiring 22/4:eek:).
    3 for £3 then £1.85x2 vs £1.00x2?

    Coke on receipt is ...60197.
    Otherwise it's some CYO Pizza that is the 'culprit' (...00265.) or some £1.32 cat food:rotfl:. It wouldn't have 'won' anyway, I tell myself, as they bought some £5 Surf.

    Coke Zero 1.75L bottles don't show up on a APG (I bought 2 earlier thinking they would compare @ 2 for £2 in T vs £3.70 in A...but nothing showing.

    :eek:

    Does that mean the regular, diet and/or cherry might compare?

    :D

    If so, the zero could be the trigger and you could buy 3 for £3 in A but then APG would see 2 @ £1.85 each.

    Therefore, APG of £1.90 back.

    Net cost of 3 x 1.75L Coke bottles would be £1.10 or 36.7p each.

    :D:cool::D

    Anyone know if the cherry, full fat or diet compare on APG?

    I honestly think it was a 1 off :rotfl:
    she got home saying she felt like she was stealing from them. I said the hard part is going back with the apg not getting it. :)

    DH feels like that:eek:. I made him come with me once when I got dtd on some meat, and he looked soooo uncomfortable as I was semitrouted, but I got the dtd through reasoned argument(was not giving up:rotfl:) When we got outside he said, 'never again. I don't know how you get away with it':rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    He now waits at home, unloads the car when I get back, and is amazed at what is in the bags. The first question is how much was that lot, and laughs when I tell him.:rotfl:
    He is on the countdown for Antigua now. The camera bag is packed, and ready to go:p I get to pack everything else.:(

    Dearest Tweets.


    it's down to the person. i ordered special eco bits from Essex water. They are free.

    I collect the water from my shower in my joey can and water garden.

    i don't wash my car... i use a spray that you wipe with a cloth.

    I have dual flush toilet. But a brick can do it. But the short works on everything...

    i am at work all day.

    the calculator said i would save 80 pounds. My water meter says i m using half of the calculator estimate.


    we shower every day .... never did bath or have a dish washer.

    Glad that I'm not the only one to reuse water.I quite often fill a couple of buckets from the bath water to flush the loo.:D

    I went to see my nephew yesterday. His mum has never worked a day in her life. She uses my nephew as an excuse not to work, she might get a phone call from the school, blah blah.

    She has a 50 inch tv, top range stereo and surround sound, speakers, x-box, play station and god knows what else. She runs 3 mobile phones, all of them on a blackberry, Nokia summat or other and another smartphone

    Yet here's me, on my modest salary, living "comfortably" and still watching every penny I spend. What the hell is wrong with the system where they can have all that but eating isn't the top priority :mad:

    For those of you who have been 'waiting for Savvy's womble' on the Frubes before going out:D

    Morries was cheaper!:j:j:j Not really but APG says they are and who am I to disagree?:) The Nesquik turned out to be a non-comparable snack pack:T:T.

    Frubes returning full price (also work vs M, outside of Northern Ireland disclaimer of course) and looks like Robinsons have done £1.49 x2 as well!:T Salted Butter not picked up:( (or maybe I'm incorrect about my Morries range?:think:).
