morning all :wave:

need some ideas from you lovely lot
got my niece & nephew's first holy commumion on saturday & need ideas for gifts for them? my niece is 8 & nephew is 12
not being catholic myself i haven't a clue what to get but my niece got christened recently so has already got lots of crosses

thanks

Why not see if you can get them something from Traidcraft? If you go via the CAFOD link, CAFOD (the Catholic aid charity) gets some commission. Stuff won't be cheap but it will be ethical. CAFOD also sells a beautiful Oscar Romero cross which they might appreciate now and will appreciate later as well and it will be a talking point when Romero becomes a saint. (He was killed because he championed the poor.) An idea for your niece might be a children's bible, if she reads. I'd have a look in a bookshop and then see if you can buy online more cheaply.

If you are near a large town, you can also see if there is a Catholic or religious bookshop there. They often sell other stuff too. Just beware that there is a lot of tacky stuff out there!

Hope this helps.

Thanks - I obviously misunderstood - I will work outa new list!

Someone mentioned that the prosecco was in a £20 meal deal. Maybe a promotion over Easter? I couldn't see any signs for a £20 meal deal in my store though. I can't see it online either

I got 40 Robinsons yesterday.

They are still on the kitchen work top lined up in flavours, labels to the front. I was a bit annoyed as the Summer fruits one was just one short of two rows:o

Of course I would take a photo but as zippy knows my photobucket account has been suspended.......probably for hosting dodgy turkey pics:rotfl:

My Robinsons are still in their bags TM, I wasn't feeling up to storing them away last night.

My body has had a bit of a crash last few days. That's why I have been falling asleep on the night shift.

Good morning all.

The Bisol isn't in the meal deal but some have been buying 2 or 3 as part of the 25% off 6 bottles or more, to get a PP back. You can also count the bottle of wine included in the meal deal as 1 of the 6.

The bisol was on the finest £20 meal deal. None of the food items compared but I did get the meal deal discount and the 25 %.
I got 3 bisols and 4 little bottles.:)

I just entered one of my receipts to do a apg and got a notice come up to say I've already had 10 apgs this month is there a way around this?

Unfortunately no
A lot of people here use the Asda app on smartphone or tablet to check the APG first. It can then be printed without the need to enter your details. Do you have a device which you could download the app onto? It won't help you with this APG but will avoid it happening in the future.
I uninstall and re-install the app if Ive did a lot of shops in the month, that wipes all the data from it and starts afresh HTH
