Can anyone think of anything imaginative that I can do with rhubarb?

Apart from the usual stuff...pies, crumbles, fools jams and jellies:o:)

Have to admit I like a nice rhubarb cobbler

Can I repeat - do not, do NOT, rely on msm for M comps. but rely on wombles and my information!! Thank you:).

You buy at your own risk and no responsibility accepted if the wheels come off as a result of relying on me.

Hi Everyone,

AvT

Paid £3. Works out at £1.70 for 2.

2 x Birds Eye Field Fresh Garden Peas & Supersweet Swe... £4.00 £3.00

Afternoon paw sniffers:D

Reporting back.

1. Visited A. Mr TM has decided that the Nutrigrains will be good for his bike ride snacks. 30 g of carbs in one.(His body's a temple:rotfl:)
Planned a little shop.

1 x ASDA Smartprice Mixed Fruit (500g) £0.95 £0.95
1 x ASDA Cucumber Portion £0.40 £0.25
1 x McVitie's Snickers Flapjacks (5) £1.00 £1.30
1 x McCoy's Ridge Cut Crisps - Flame Grilled Steak (6x... £1.00 £1.00
2 x Kellogg's Nutri-Grain Breakfast Bakes Choc Chip (6... £4.76 £2.48
4 x Kellogg's Nutri-Grain Breakfast Bakes Raisin (6x45... £9.92 £4.96
1 x ASDA Little Angels Cotton Wool Buds (200) £0.35 £1.00

Pleased I noticed Sals comments re the Jaffa cakes....not to buy them v M. BUT checked the flapjacks and the cotton wool buds before I left home and both compared well with M. It was better when we were using Savvy instead of MSM.:o
Used wombles and a giftcards to pay for this and got £7.68 back.

2. It was still cold and drizzly so onto S.tried aau's trick iof filling up in the hope of getting a wys but no luck. However I did make sure that I rounded up to the litre and it to the pound to get my extra 10p off.....coupon from last week.

Went into S. Bought JD, icing sugar, piccalilli and contact lens solution and weetabix. Used £6 off wys £30 and £3 BM. So got all of that for £21
The JD alone is £27 in A and is to give as a gift so happy with that

3. Popped in M& S to check the offers and saw the biggest rotisserie chicken ever at £8.09:T. Bemused watching people picking up the £6 ones without even checking the weight. So decided to get the meal desk for £10 and 2 pasta fishes for £5. Came to £27ish before discounts. Used a GR and one of the fivers I get sent from time to time for saving M& S points. Paid exactly a fiver:T

4. On to T.

Used 22 vouchers....mainly the ones we get sent out for various CC accounts. All scanned except 2 which I took to the CS desk and she swapped them for cash without even checking my receipt..
Paid £5 and got £1.70 back from CS. Used 2x £7 PP from the whiskas glitch too.

Walked through the door with 8 carriers of shopping having spent very little real money


Oh yes...I called at Outfit and bought a frock for £7 on the reduced rack:D

As I arrived home the sun came out:j:j

Sorry for long quote.

TM I always go to cs desk in S now and ask them to check the points on my card. When they do this you get all the vouchers due to you. Nice to have before shopping. Quite often get more at checkout.:D

Well OH reckons a mouse has got into his engine and is chewing the covering that goes over the electrics so he did a fix with some black tape and there is a mouse trap in the engine now.
We also went to Home Bargains for pellets.
I also got a mini plastic greenhouse thing for my seedlings which I've now filled up so its back to putting seed trays under the bench again - I thought it would solve the space issue but it hasn't

Apart from that its seemed a very long day - filling seed trays, minor bit of shopping, a mass delete of my emails, some recycling and Freecycling - I think this is the post holiday slump and we need to be booking another

Anybody been lucky enough to locate the Homebase survey giving 50 nectar points. It's advertised on the main nectar site but when you click through there's nowhere to enter.

I need 24p to double up another voucher:)

:rotfl:

I need 89p .

Indeed.

And I'll just add - buy entirely at your own risk and no responsibility accepted if, in fairclaire's words, it goes "tits up" as a result of relying on me.

Just needing to put a stop on any potential liability:money: (from my point of view:rotfl:).

well, not just wombles but I'll rely on any AvM APG results as I don't see that we can rely on anytihng else

MSM, actual price observed in M, price reported in the press etc are all pointless.
